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, risk assessment is essential for Bakırköy district, as well as for other parts of İstanbul. In this study, a new methodology for tsunami risk assessment is further developed and applied to Bakırköy district of İstanbul. For determination of the worst case hazard scenario, simulations are performed on the tsunami numerical model NAMI DANCE. Human vulnerability assessments are realized by using GIS-based Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). Among MCDA methods, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is selected. Vulnerability at location and evacuation resilience are the main elements in the hierarchical structure of AHP. Hazard and human vulnerability assessments are integrated to obtain the tsunami risk assessments for Bakırköy district. In the risk relation, the preparedness and awareness level of the community is also considered. The hazard, vulnerability and risk assessments are also evaluated according to the neighborhoods of Bakırköy district and the population. The tsunami simulations revealed that the maximum inundation distance is over 350 m on land and water penetrates almost 1700 m along Ayamama Stream. Inundation is observed in eleven neighborhoods of Bakırköy district. In the inundation zone, maximum flow depth is found to be over 5.7 meters. The inundated area forms 4.2% of whole Bakırköy district and 62 buildings are located in the inundation zone. According to the human vulnerability assessment, Sakızağacı and Ataköy 2-5-6 are the locationally most vulnerable neighborhoods while Yenimahalle is the one where the evacuation is most resilient. The risk assessments showed that the Ataköy 2-5-6 neighborhood is the one where the risk is very high and it is followed by Sakızağacı neighborhood.

High resolution tsunami vulnerability assessment by GISbased multicriteria decision making analysis at Yenikapı İstanbul Çankaya, Zeynep Ceren; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Geological Engineering (2015) 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 ma...
Tsunamis in the Sea of Marmara - Historical documents for the past, models for the future Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Altinok, Y; Ozbay, I; Imamura, F (Elsevier BV, 2002-10-15) More than 30 tsunami events have impacted the coasts of the Sea of Marmara in the past two millennium, clustering in Izmit Bay, the shores of istanbul, Gemlik Bay, the shores of the Kapidak and Gelibolu Peninsulas. With respect to the last well-known tsunami, the Izmit tsunami of 17 August, 1999, available field survey run-up data and marine surveys provide an opportunity to evaluate how these events were triggered. The main purpose of this study is to determine the slope failure potential as a possible tsu...
Assessment of inland tsunami parameters and their effects on morphology / Pamuk, Aykut; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Recent tsunami events clearly showed the potential of massive destruction on buildings, infrastructure, coastal protection structures and also morphological changes by tsunami waves. This thesis covers investigation of tsunami motion at inundation zone considering different factors (smoothed ground without buildings, or with buildings), and related changes of inland tsunami parameters and their effects on morphology. For the applications, the simulations have been performed using different topographic condi...
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 forecast modeling for Turkish coastlines Sharghivand, Naeimeh; Kanoğlu, Utku; Department of Engineering Sciences (2014) Turkish coastlines have been exposed to devastating tsunamis in the past. Today, Turkey has densely populated shorelines with substantial touristic activities and critical infrastructures along its shorelines. Tsunami propagation database and tsunami forecast models for the coastal communities are the two major components of the tsunami forecasting methodology which is developed by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Center for Tsunami Research (NCTR) at the Pacifi c Marine Env...
