Zusammenfassung |
Physical and social elements at risk are identified for a credible tsunami
event for Istanbul. For this purpose, inundation maps resulting from
probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis for a 10% probability of exceedance
in 50 yr are utilised in combination with the geo-coded inventories of
building stock, lifeline systems and demographic data. The built environment
on Istanbul's shorelines that is exposed to tsunami inundation comprises
residential, commercial, industrial, public (governmental/municipal,
schools, hospitals, sports and religious), infrastructure (car parks,
garages, fuel stations, electricity transformer buildings) and military
buildings, as well as piers and ports, gas tanks and stations and other
urban elements (e.g., recreational facilities). Along the Marmara Sea shore,
Tuzla shipyards and important port and petrochemical facilities at
Ambarlı are expected to be exposed to tsunami hazard. Significant
lifeline systems of the city of Istanbul such as natural gas, electricity,
telecommunication and sanitary and waste-water transmission, are also under
the threat of tsunamis. In terms of social risk, it is estimated that there
are about 32 000 inhabitants exposed to tsunami hazard. |
