Title

Vulnerability Assessment of Cities to Earthquake based on the Catastrophe Theory: A Case Study of Varzeqan City, Iran

Pages

  99-123

Abstract

 The main purpose of the current study was to provide a methodological framework for quick and efficient assessment of the vulnerability of urban spaces to earthquake. Most of the variables affecting Seismic Vulnerability in cities are spatial in nature, so using a Geographic Information System for integration of these variables can lead to desirable results. However, one of the most important subjects in overlaying of layers in a Geographic Information System is the uncertainty in weighting and decision making. In this study, attempts were made to modify such uncertainties to a large extent using the functions of Catastrophe theory. Using the mentioned approach makes the results of the model repeatable, which is a considerable advantage. Regarding the Catastrophe theory, an attempt was made to present the basic equations of this model in a concise and simple way. Varzeqan city was selected for evaluating the Seismic Vulnerability based on the Catastrophe theory. Approximately 21 percent of the total area of Varzeqan lies in the high and very high vulnerability classes. Given that the area of the city's built-up lands is about 32 percent, considerable percentage of these lands in the city is in high and very high vulnerability classes. Distribution of these zones is impressive, especially in the center of the city. These zones can be considered the most critical regions of Varzeqan. Unstable geological formations, high residential and population density, fine grained building, low quality buildings and lack of urban open spaces have caused this region to have severe vulnerability to earthquake.
