“…In the earthquake risk interpretation, the earthquake risk levels of the settlements were described based on historical records of previous earthquakes (Tabban, 2000;Korkmaz, 2009). For example, the distances between previous earthquake locations and the earthquake magnitudes were considered as criteria to describe the risk level.…”

“…According to regional information, Kutahya Province is a high-risk earthquake region (Tabban, 2000;Taymaz et al, 2007;Korkmaz, 2009;AFAD, 2013;Elmas & Bentli, 2013;KOERI, 2013). It is located on the extension of the Aksehir fault zone (Bozkurt, 2001;Bilim, 2007) and includes a number of Tertiary fault zones such as the Kutahya, Simav, Emet, and Tavsanli fault zones (Bozkurt, 2001).…”

Kutahya Province is a significant cultural heritage area of Turkey; it is susceptible to flooding when sudden heavy rain falls and is located in a high-risk earthquake region. The objective of this study was to acquire geo-information from Kutahya Province and interpret the risk levels to the population from floods and earthquakes. In this study, the Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission Reflection Digital Elevation Model of Kutahya Province was used to create maps that illustrate the digital terrain model and the 3D fly-through dynamic model of the study region. The maps exhibit landform characteristics, fault zones, earthquake locations, thermal locations, stream drainages and water-flow accumulation areas. From the interpretation of the maps, the results revealed that the most susceptible areas to flooding are the settlements and agricultural plains of Kutahya, Altintas, and Simav, in decreasing order. Gediz, Simav, Kutahya, Emet, Tavsanli, Dumlupinar, Domanic, Hisarcik, Pazarlar and Saphane are at high risk of earthquake damage, in decreasing order. The results of this study can help planners involved in regional urban and infrastructure development as well as environmental planning in Kutahya province.

“…(Erdik et al 2005) and (Korkmaz 2009) provided losses assessment models for long-term disaster management considering probabilistic seismic hazards. Also, different methodologies and frameworks for seismic loss estimation have been developed and used to conduct a benefit-cost analysis for different seismic retrofit alternatives (Smyth et al 2004), (Kappos and Dimitrakopoulos 2008) and (Valcárcel et al 2013).…”

ForewordAn environmentally conscious public is increasingly demanding products that are more sustainable. Manufacturers are seeking to meet the expectations of consumers and the demands of regulators while becoming more environmentally responsible. For consumers, regulators, and manufacturers alike, this requires that credible processes be implemented to accurately measure the environmental impacts of products. As a result, sustainability considerations can drive new materials and technologies for sustainable products, process innovation for sustainable manufacturing, and innovation and creativity in supply and value chain operations. Therefore, progress toward greater sustainability in the built environment and the manufacturing sector is a necessary step to better enable resource efficiency in our nation.The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) develops unbiased, state-of-the-art measurement science that advances the nation's technology infrastructure and is needed by industry to continually improve products and services. The mission of NIST's Engineering Laboratory is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness in areas of critical national priority by anticipating and meeting the measurement science and standards needs for technology-intensive manufacturing, construction, and cyber-physical systems in ways that enhance economic prosperity and improve the quality of life. Sustainability is a recognized critical national priority-one that requires meaningful and rigorous measurement science for establishing suitable performance metrics.To address this need, NIST launched an effort to develop, organize, and convene an invitational workshop on sustainability to promote the adoption and use of sustainable construction and manufacturing and guide NIST in developing a portfolio of programs that are focused on providing the enabling measurement science to key industry stakeholders. The University of Maryland in collaboration with the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers undertook and performed that effort. The workshop was organized around four cross-cutting themes: (1) measurement science; (2) systems; (3) planning, design, and supply chains; and (4) economic, environmental, and social aspects. Plenary session presentations were commissioned covering each of the four cross-cutting themes. The plenary session presentations set the stage for focused breakout sessions organized around the four cross-cutting themes. Workshop participants were assigned to the breakout sessions in a manner that facilitated discussions among the key stakeholder groups represented at the workshop. The breakout sessions were co-facilitated by each theme's plenary speakers, which provided a firm base from which to develop a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in that topic area, as well as identify gaps and research opportunities.

“…The Hazturk project based on Hazus developed an earthquake loss estimation for Turkey. Various other projects have been instigated, such as a meteorological early warning system, seismic risk mitigation, emergency transportation network planning, and disaster information system projects especially focused on earthquake (Korkmaz, 2009 2009). However, the data management and coordination approaches have not been determined yet in relation to disaster types, actors and disaster activities Erden, 2012).…”

Abstract. Disaster management aims to reduce catastrophic losses of disasters. Geographic information technologies support disaster management activities for effective and collaborative data management considering the complex nature of disasters. This study with an original conceptual approach aims to develop interoperable geographic data model and analysis tools to manage geographic data sets coming from different sources. For landslide disaster, 39 scenario-based activities were analysed with the required data according to user needs in a cycle of activities at mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases. An interoperable geographic data model for disaster management (ADYS), enabling upto-date exchange of geographic data, was designed, compliant with the standards of ISO/TC211 Geographic Information/Geomatics, Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), and the Turkish National GIS (TUCBS). An open source and free analysis toolbox was developed and tested in the case study of activities such as landslide hazard analysis and a disaster warning system to support the Provincial Disaster
