İstanbul is a mega city with its various coastal utilities located at the northern coast of the Sea of Marmara. At Yenikapı, there are critical vulnerable coastal utilities, structures and active metropolitan life. Fishery ports, commercial ports, small craft harbors, passenger terminals of intercity maritime transportation, water front commercial and/or recreational structures with residential/commercial areas and public utility areas are some examples of coastal utilization which are vulnerable against marine disasters. Therefore, tsunami vulnerability of Yenikapı region is an important issue of İstanbul. In this study, a new methodology of hazard analysis for areas under tsunami attack is proposed, where Yenikapı region is chosen for a case study. Available datasets of İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) and Turkish Navy are used as inputs for high resolution GIS-based MCDA assessment of tsunami hazard in Yenikapı. Bathymetry and topography database is used for high resolution tsunami numerical modeling where the tsunami parameters from deterministically defined worst case scenarios are computed from simulations using tsunami numerical model NAMI DANCE. In order to define tsunami vulnerability of the region, two aspects vulnerability at location and evacuation resilience maps were created using AHP method of MCDA. Vulnerability map is composed of metropolitan use, geology, elevation, and distance from shoreline layers, whereas the evacuation resilience layer is formed by slope, distance within flat areas, distance to buildings and distance to road networks layers. The tsunami hazard map is then computed by proposed new relation which uses flow depth map, vulnerability at location map and evacuation resilience maps.

Tsunami risk assessment using GIS-based multi criteria decision analysis at Bakirköy, İstanbul Tüfekçi, Duygu; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Geological Engineering (2016) Northern coast of the Sea of Marmara hosts many of coastal facilities. Bakırköy is one of the most critical coastal districts of İstanbul with the importance of air and marine transportation. There are many other coastal facilities and structures in Bakırköy district such as marinas, small scaled craft harbors, water front roads and business centers that are prone to suffer from the marine disasters. In the history, the Sea of Marmara has experienced numerous earthquakes and associated tsunamis. Therefore, ...

Evaluation of tsunami scenarios for western Peloponnese, Greece Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Dilmen, D. I.; Aytore, B.; Ayca, A.; Insel, I.; Zaytsev, A. (2014-06-01) Tsunami hazard assessment of the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea is the current interest of the countries having, a coastline in this region. Considering today's increasing population on the coasts and historical tsunamis, it is essential to estimate the probable tsunami risk, which might occur, to be able to mitigate the risk before the actual tsunami event happens. For this purpose, European Union funded project., SEAHELLARC is formed to develop a methodology and tools for seismic and tsunami safety...
Tsunami analysis for southern Aegean Sea Onat, Yaprak; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2012-09-17) There are different types of tsunami sources in Southern Aegean Sea. Wider awareness, proper preparedness and effective mitigation strategies against tsunamis need better understanding of tsunamis. Tsunami assessment study covers the exchange and enhancement of available earthquake and tsunami data, development of bathymetric and topographic data in sufficient resolution, selection of possible or credible tsunami scenarios, selection and application of the valid and verified numerical tools for tsunami gene...
