“…Several state-of-the-art seismic risk assessments (Radius, Hazus, etc. ), within many research studies involving large cities in the last few years (cities Barcelona-Spain [7], Athens-Greece [8], Quebec-Canada [9], Montreal-Canada [10], Byblos-Lebanon [11]) have been developed. All these approaches require a huge amount of various input data, which is impossible to collect in most of the developing countries.…”

Seismic risk is fundamental for the establishment of priorities in long-term prevention policy since urbanization and concentration of population in earthquake prone areas are increasing. To assess seismic risk, it is necessary to determine seismic hazard and vulnerability for which large amount of input data is required. Therefore, a rapid seismic risk assessment is proposed, based on seismic hazard maps and on statistical Census data for buildings. A case study is illustrated for Croatian cities in order to provide an overview of the overall relative risk in Croatia. As a result, the prediction model for threatened buildings in Croatia in function of peak ground acceleration is proposed. The prediction model gives an indicative outcome after possible earthquake event expressed in terms of percentage of threatened buildings. Most vulnerable cities according to prediction model are Dubrovnik, Zagreb, Split and Rijeka in accordance with their buildings distribution by age.

“…Jaradat et al (2008) estimated the economic losses due to an earthquake scenario for several facilities located in the greater municipality of Amman in Jordan. Makhoul et al (2016) evaluated damage for several earthquake scenarios for Byblos in Lebanon. Studies concerning the estimation of economic losses due to floods seem to be inexistent for this region.…”

“…Another approach is to adopt functions from the closest neighboring country. For example, Makhoul et al (2016) used fragility models from Turkey to assess risk for Byblos, Lebanon. The worldwide shortage of vulnerability and fragility functions, especially in developing countries, propelled several efforts.…”

“…This slow process of learning and adaptation contributes to the overall risk reduction and to an increase in the social awareness about disaster hazard. Seismic risk assessments have already been carried out for many cities, e.g., Thessaloniki [7], Barcelona [8], Algiers [9], Lorca [10], Bishkek [11], Byblos [12], Tabriz [13], Quebec [14], etc. [15,16].…”

Seismic risk assessment using updated hazard and building inventory dataThis study focuses on the assessment of potential seismic impacts from two active segments of the North Anatolian Fault running across the Sea of Marmara. Two seismic scenarios with moment magnitudes of Mw 6.9 and Mw 6.7 were developed for individual segment rupture, and the third one with the magnitude of M w 7.2 was developed for simultaneous activation of both segments. 15,871 existing buildings were grouped into 10 main classes. Each class was assigned a respective capacity curve and a set of fragility curves that determine the probability of exceeding one of the following five damage states: none, slight, moderate, extensive, and complete.
