This paper focuses on the effect of the 30th October Earthquake in Izmir on the number of COVID-19 cases. There have been many measures to implement social distancing and mask mandates in and around the city. However, earthquakes coinciding with a pandemic prevent their effective practice, thus increasing the proliferation of the virus. Earthquakes and other disasters make it difficult to deal with pandemics. Studies indicate that cities need to be more prepared for earthquakes to be better able to handle pandemics. The Izmir earthquake on the 30th October 2020 was one of the best examples of this. This research is based on a survey design and the analysis of the survey data. The survey results were analyzed on SPSS. Survey results show the earthquake has an aggravating effect on the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID19 pandemic is not the last pandemic in the world, so this study aims to be an example of multi-hazards scenario to cope with multiple disasters.

The effect of disasters on development: Van and Bingol case studies
Gül, Tuğba; Başbuğ Erkan, Berna Burçak; Şenol Balaban, Meltem; Department of Earthquake Studies (2014)
The increase of the number of natural, technological and man-made disasters and economic losses due to disasters caused an increase in significance of the studies that investigate the relationship between disaster and development. Turkey has actualized many studies after the 1999 Marmara Earthquake, however, the focus of disaster policies are still concentrated on response and reconstruction/recovery stages of disaster. 2003 Bingöl and 2011 Van earthquakes showed that disasters still cause economic burden o...
An analysis of Değirmendere shore landslide during 17 August 1999 Kocaeli earthquake
Bülbül, Oğuzhan; Özkan, M. Yener; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
In this study, the failure mechanism of the shore landslide which occured at Degirmendere coast region during 17 August 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit) - Turkey earthquake is analyzed. Geotechnical studies of the region are at hand, which reveal soil properties and geological formation of the region as well as the topography of the shore basin after deformations. The failure is analyzed as a landslide and permanent displacements are calculated by Newmark Method under 17 August 1999 Izmit record, scaled to a maximum ac...
Demographic and psychosocial features and their effects on the survivors of the 1999 earthquake in Turkey
Ecevit, Mehmet Cihan (2002-01-01)
A survey was conducted of 500 survivors of the 1999 earthquake in Turkey to investigate their levels of alienation and forms of preparedness for future disasters. It was found that the level of alienation in general is not very significant and that level of education is the most important influential independent variable, The only alienation component found to have a negative impact on the responsible behavior related to preparedness for earthquakes was the social isolation variable. As level of education i...
Information theoric framework for the earthquake recurrence models: Methodica Firma per Terra Non-Firma
Esmer, Ozcan (2006-07-13)
This paper first evaluates the earthquake prediction method (1999) used by US Geological Survey as the lead example and reviews also the recent models. Secondly, points out the ongoing debate on the predictability of earthquake recurrences and lists the main claims of both sides. The traditional methods and the "frequentist" approach used in determining the earthquake probabilities cannot end the complaints that the earthquakes are unpredictable. It is argued that the prevailing "crisis" in seismic research...
A Comparative Study On The Humanitarian Relief Operations: Van-Turkey And Tohoku-Japan Earthquakes
Snoubar, Yaser; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat (2019-10-01)
The purpose of this article is to compare the humanitarian relief operations in Van- Turkey earthquake and Tohoku- Japan earthquake 2011. Essentially, this study questions whether the long experiences of Turkey and Japan in the management of natural disasters, especially earthquakes, have affected the development of humanitarian relief operations, what are the humanitarian relief operations of the two countries to overcome the disaster and manage it and what measures should be taken in this regard to prepar...
