| Zusammenfassung |
| Achieving sustainable development in countries prone to earthquakes is
possible with taking effective measures to reduce vulnerability to
earthquakes. In this context, damage assessment of hypothetical earthquakes
and planning for disaster management are important issues. Having a computer
tool capable of estimating structural and human losses from earthquakes in a
specific region may facilitate the decision-making process before and during
disasters. Interoperability of this tool with wide-spread spatial analysis
frameworks will expedite the data transferring process. In this study, the
earthquake damage assessment (EDA) software tool is developed as an embedded
extension within a GIS (geographic information system) environment for the city of Tehran, Iran. This
GIS-based extension provides users with a familiar environment to estimate
and observe the probable damages and fatalities of a deterministic
earthquake scenario. The productivity of this tool is later demonstrated for
southern Karoon parish, Region 10, Tehran. Three case studies for three
active faults in the area and a comparison of the results with other
research substantiated the reliability of this tool for additional
earthquake scenarios. |
