SEISMIC DAMAGE AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT MAPS OF THE CITY OF GACHSARAN
There exist many cities in developing countries which are built with minimal seismic considerations. Also, due to the expenses regarding in detailed and analytical identification of such vulnerable buildings and structures in these cities, it seems that a rapid and inexpensive solution for assessment of a general understanding of the vulnerability of such cities is required for disaster management planning. In this regards, in this study a simplified evaluation form was developed in order to assess the key seismic vulnerability parameters of the buildings and structures in city of Gachsaran located along the Zagrous mountain range in Iran. Based on the gathered information, a data bank was created and using the generalized physical vulnerability functions developed for typical Iranian buildings, then a series of scenario base damage maps for the city was created. Using these maps, and available resources, a series of disaster management planning maps were created for different levels of potential hazard. These simplified procedure used for underdeveloped cities such as Gachsaran has established preliminary needs for planners while more sophisticated methods can be utilized. In this paper, method used will be discussed and results obtained will be presented. It is believed; this simple solution can be utilized in similar cases throughout the world.
