The paper proposes a methodology for quantitative landslide risk assessment for regional-scale analysis. Each component of risk, i.e., hazard, vulnerability, and consequence analysis, is quantitatively assessed. The developed landslide risk assessment methodology is tested in Kumluca watershed, in BartA +/- n, Turkey. Geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques are used to create landslide factor maps, to obtain susceptibility maps, hazard maps, elements at risk, and risk maps. Susceptibility maps are obtained by using a logistic regression model while adopting a grid-based mapping unit. In addition to spatial probability of occurrence of damaging events, landslide hazard calculation requires the determination of the temporal probability. Precipitation triggers the majority of landslides in the study region. The critical rainfall thresholds were estimated by using antecedent rainfalls and landslide occurrence dates based on Gumble Distribution approach. The elements at risk are extracted from existing digital cadastral databases and the vulnerabilities are obtained by adopting some generalization approaches. To conclude, quantitative risk maps were produced on a continuous scale where numerical values indicate the distribution of risk including the annual probability of expected losses in TL per pixel and the annual probability of life loss per pixel for property and life, respectively. For the considered case study, it is found that the annual probability of property loss is the highest for the provincial highway and the provincial road. The property loss map highlights that the annual expected loss to power network is medium. The annual probability of life loss map illustrates that the region surrounded by Kumluca town, KA +/- zA +/- llar, and Zafer villages have medium and high annual expected loss of population values, respectively.

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 ...
A comparative investigation of early childhood teachers’ portfolio practices: Cases from Turkey and the United States Alaçam, Nur; Olgan, Refika; Çapa Aydın, Yeşim; Department of Early Childhood Education (2022-3) The current study has a multi-method research design and investigated portfolio assessment comprehensively in three parts. First, teachers’ portfolio practices and views were investigated by means of semi-structured individual interviews in a qualitative design. Secondly, portfolio contents were examined with a developed content checklist and rubric under the methodology of document analysis. In these parts, 24 teachers participated and 19 child portfolios were examined in a Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool...
The Effects of Implementing Different Ground-motionLogic-tree Frameworks on Seismic Risk Assessment Ay, Bekir Özer (null; 2018-06-21) This study investigates the link between probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and corresponding loss estimations by using different ground-motion logic-tree frameworks from reliable large scale seismic hazard projects as well as the logic-tree framework established in this study. The predictive models selected for these logic trees are expected to represent the center, body and range of ground-motion intensity measure estimates. Regarding with the hazard component of risk assessment, the ground motion in...
A comparison of the GIS based landslide susceptibility assessment methods: multivariate versus bivariate Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (2004-03-01) The purpose of this study is to evaluate and to compare the results of multivariate (logical regression) and bivariate (landslide susceptibility) methods in Geographical Information System (GIS) based landslide susceptibility assessment procedures. In order to achieve this goal the Asarsuyu catchment in NW Turkey was selected as a test zone because of its well-known landslide occurrences interfering with the E-5 highway mountain pass.
An Experimental Study on Impact of Risk Data Visualization onRisk Evaluations Dikmen Toker, İrem; Eken, Görkem (null; 2018-11-18) Risk assessment is a systematic process to characterize and evaluate risk, with the available knowledge. Thus, its success depends significantly on the "availability of knowledge" during the assessment process. The knowledge elicitation from experts, the structure of the risk database and information visualization that may help sense-making from previous projects are critical factors that can improve risk assessment process. Risk assessment is usually carried out at the start of a project and updated during...
