“…According to Disaster Prevention Plan documents from Nagoya City and other coastal cities in Japan, early during a heavy earthquake, most populations are encouraged to immediately evacuate to nearby seismic shelters (Dai, 2015). These seismic shelters are usually public open spaces that can protect evacuees from earthquakes and fires (Hossain, 2014;Islas and Alves, 140 2016;Jayakody et al, 2018). However, they do not protect evacuees from surge waves and flood damages.…”

Abstract. Coastal areas face a significant risk of tsunami after a nearby heavy earthquake. Comprehensive coastal port cities often complicate and intensify this risk, due to the high vulnerability of their communities and liabilities associated with secondary damage. Accessibility to tsunami shelters is a key measure of adaptive capacity in response to tsunami risks and should therefore be enhanced. This study integrates the hazards that create risk into two dimensions: hazard-product risk and hazard-affected risk. Specifically, the hazard-product risk measures the hazard occurrence's probability, intensity, duration, and extension in a system. The hazard-affected risk measures the extent to which the system is affected by the hazard occurrence. This enables the study of specific strategies for responding to each kind of risk, to enhance accessibility to tsunami shelters. Nagoya City in Japan served as the case study; the city is one of the most advanced tsunami-resilient port cities in the world. The spatial distribution of the hazard-product risk and hazard-affected risk was first visualized in 165 School District samples, covering 213 km2 using a Hot Spot Analysis. The results suggest that the rules governing the distribution of these two-dimensional (2D) risks are significantly different. By refining the tsunami evacuation time-space routes, traffic location related indicators, referring to three-scale traffic patterns with three-hierarchy traffic roads, are used as accessibility variables. Two-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to analyse the differences in these accessibility variables to compare the 2D risk. MANOVA was also used to assess the difference of accessibility between high-level risk and low-level risk in each risk dimension. The results show that tsunami shelter accessibility strategies, targeting hazard-product risk and hazard-affected risk, are significantly different in Nagoya. These different strategies are needed to adapt to the risk.

“…Urban open and green lands are important for the quality of life of people in cities (La Rosa, 2014;Mougiakou and Photis, 2014) and also serve as temporary shelter areas for people after an earthquake (Allan and Bryant, 2011;Anhorn and Khazai, 2015;Zhu et al, 2016). Furthermore, disaster resilience in relation to the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of urban open and green lands takes an important place in the literature (Jayakody et al, 2018).…”

Disasters adversely affect human life. Many people face sheltering problems after disasters. Temporary shelter areas are very important in terms of meeting people's post-disaster sheltering needs. In this study, it was aimed to determine temporary shelter areas in the city center of Burdur. The AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method was used to determine temporary shelter areas. According to certain criteria and spatial standards, six temporary shelter areas were determined in the city center of Burdur, and their adequacy was tested. Temporary shelters are located in urban open and green lands. Temporary shelter areas determined under today's conditions are adequate. However, it is predicted that temporary shelter areas will be inadequate in the upcoming process. Some recommendations were made about the problems and the path to be followed in the upcoming process. These recommendations will be useful for the post-disaster process.

“…One of the open-green spaces in the cities, parks; in improving urban texture and air quality with dense vegetation (Parsons et al, 2015), regulating microclimate (Finaeva, 2017), reducing urban heat island effect (Tzoulas et al, 2007;Roy et al, 2012;Lafortezza et al, 2013;Demuzere et al, 2014) and it has important effects in supporting biological diversity. Besides these, parks are gathering areas in natural disasters such as earthquakes (Jayakody et al, 2018). They are important for recreation, physical and mental restoration (Chiesura, 2004;Konijnendijk et al, 2013;Strum and Cohen, 2014).…”

Urban open-green spaces are for cities; these are areas that make significant contributions to ecological, social, cultural, economic, and psychological issues. Because of the expanding of urban areas with the increasing population, all city dwellers need open-green spaces. The increase in the quality of urban life depends on the preservation of the existing open-green spaces in the cities and the increase of open-green spaces in parallel with the increase in the density of buildings. Here, unlike the open-increasing population and unplanned urbanization nature and green spaces in cities in Turkey decreased in quantity; Such important areas for cities and city dwellers are almost in danger of extinction. The purpose of this research is; determining the adequacy of open-green spaces per capita in the city of Nazilli (Aydin), and making suggestions for the development of open-green spaces in the neighborhood and city scale. In the research, 51 parks in 19 neighborhoods were examined. As a result of the research; It has been determined that there are imbalances in terms of numerical, spatial and per capita size in the distribution of open-green spaces among the neighborhoods in the city of Nazilli. It can be said that the reason for the unbalanced distribution of open-green spaces is that these areas are planned without taking into account the population of the neighborhood, surface measurements and population densities. In Kurtulus, Turan and Yesilyurt Neighborhoods, where there are no open-green spaces, open-green spaces should be planned. In neighborhoods where the opengreen space standard per capita (10 m 2 ) is not met, the open-green spaces should be increased numerically and spatially.Ensuring the adequacy of open green space per capita in all provinces and the city of Nazilli in Turkey; it will make cities more livable and increase the quality of life in cities.
