Risk management and perception of low probability risks: A field study on earthquake risk Works in economics have been inadequate in explaining homeowners' risk mitigation behaviors in low-probability/high-loss risk situations such as earthquakes. This study (I) explores earthquake risk perceptions in different earthquake risk level zones and (2) identifies reactions towards earthquake risk mitigation measures. Data are obtained from 941 homeowners residing in Istanbul. The three different earthquake risk level zones in Istanbul are analyzed separately and remarkable differences are observed across the zones in terms of risk perceptions. In general, the results indicate that monetary value of intended precautions is positively correlated with (I) house value, (2) household income, and (3) the risk level of the residential area. Monetary value of past precautions correlates with (I) number of children at home and (2) degree of responsibility individuals attribute to themselves for undertaking precautions. Overall, authorities should develop specific approaches for different earthquake risk zones and inform the society about responsibilities for risk mitigation.

A risk management approach for acquisition of software intensive systems in the Turkish Army. Saylan, Necip; Demirös, Elif; Demirös, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002) The current techniques of risk assessment rely on checklists and human expertise. This constitutes a rigorous approach only when the people are experts on risk assessment. This thesis introduces a formal method and addresses the necessity of the identification and analysis of the risk. During implementation of risk management process, risk assessment will be discussed within an acquisition of software intensive systems in the Turkish Army. This thesis includes a survey and comparison of other software risk ...
Risk Distribution Among Uncorrelated Risk Factors: Diversified Risk Parity Yerli, Çiğdem; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2022-03-01) This paper aims to distribute the risk among equity risk, interest rate risk and inflation risk, in a portfolio to prevent a risk concentrated portfolio by employing diversified risk parity (DRP) strategy. Principal component analysis and minimum linear torsion models are used to obtain DRP strategies which are compared with other risk based models and tested on five different asset classes whose prices are collected between January 1988 and December 2017. For attaining a thorough analysis, we include mean-...
Identifying and managing risk in mega-projects: the case of automotive test center project in Turkey Ayvazoğlu, Buğra; Akın Ateş, Melek.; Department of Business Administration (2019) The issue of risk assessment in projects has attracted considerable attention in both practice and the literature. Although the number of studies investigating large-scale engineering projects (construction, rail system projects, power plants, etc.) has been increasing, majority of them focus on private sector. In this thesis, it is specifically focused on a current, mega-project where both governmental and private organizations participate, namely the Automotive Test Center Project carried out in Turkey. T...
Factors affecting the risk ratings assigned by decision-makers under uncertain situations: the case of international construction Hayat, Ehsanullah; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Assessing risk in international construction projects is an essential part of the risk management process. Due to the lack of available data and knowledge about the project risks, objective/quantitative risk assessment is facing with some challenges and subjective/qualitative risk assessment is still a prevailing technique in the construction industry. The Probability-Impact (P-I) risk matrix/table is one of the frequently used techniques among the subjective/qualitative risk assessment methods, which usual...
ASSESSMENT OF SUPPLIER RISK FOR COPPER PROCUREMENT Buzdogan-Lindenmayr, Ezgi; Kara, Guray; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2019-01-01) Procurement risk management (PRM) requires a good understanding and assessment of all potential risks. As the procurement industry mostly functions globally and the supply-demand chain forms a dependency structure among all interested parties, the quantification of risks related to the suppliers gain importance. This study presents a systematic PRM to evaluate and quantify the risks of a commodity associated to its suppliers. The probabilistic set up using total probability theorem on the information collec...
