The evaluation of public awareness and community preparedness parameter in GIS-based spatial tsunami human vulnerability assessment (MeTHuVA)
Tüfekçi Enginar, Duygu; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-11-01)
Catastrophic tsunami events in the past decades reveal the need to improve disaster risk reduction management systems. Although the actions born with this need began in the countries affected by the recent major events, mainly in Indonesia, after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and in Japan, after the 2011 Tohoku tsunami, it started to spread to other tsunami-prone coastal areas. The development of risk reduction strategies begins with determining the possible worst-case scenarios for the region and identifyi...
Evaluating the use of bias-corrected radar rainfall data in three flood events in Samsun, Turkey
Ozkaya, Arzu; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-09-01)
In applied hydrology, estimating the peak flood discharge in ungauged or poorly gauged river sections is vital for urbanized areas. Spatially distributed rainfall data such as weather radar data may be a good choice to represent the driving force in hydrologic models for ungauged regions. However, it is important to examine the accuracy of this product, especially over mountainous regions. The bias between radar rainfall and rain gauge rainfall can be progressively removed by using information provided by r...
Developing flood mitigation measures for the northern part of Nicosia
Zaifoglu, H.; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Akintug, B. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-09-01)
This study aims to examine a set of alternatives as remedial measures for the flood management purposes in order to protect the northern part of Nicosia which has been affected by major flooding events in recent years. In this context, at first, in order to obtain the run-off hydrographs at the entrance of reservoirs, the hydrological modelling of the ungauged catchments of Kanlikoy and Gonyeli Reservoirs which are located at the upstream part of the city was performed. In the simulation of these rainfall–r...
Evaluation of liquefaction in Karasu River floodplain after the October 23, 2011, Van (Turkey) earthquake
Akin, Mutluhan; Özvan, Ali; Akin, Muge K.; Topal, Tamer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-12-01)
The eastern shore of Lake Van was shaken by a powerful earthquake (M (w) 7.2) on October 23, 2011. The epicenter of the earthquake was located at about 30 km north of the Van Province, which is one of the main cities in the Eastern Anatolia. The Van Province and particularly its largest district Ercis were adversely affected by the earthquake, and unfortunately, a total of 600 people lost their lives. Besides severe constructional damages and building collapses, ground deformations were widespread at many l...
Patterns in the Turkish reinsurance claim data, 1998-2002: An application of the extreme value theory
Başbuğ Erkan, Berna Burçak (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-10-01)
The devastating 1999 Marmara and Duzce earthquakes led to a significant increase in the earthquake studies in Turkey in geological, engineering and financial aspects. Extreme Value Theory (EVT) has a range of applications from stock market changes to natural disasters like floods and hurricanes. Here EVT is fitted to the ordinary and earthquake reinsurance claims of Turkey.
