Abstract:
The 1999 Izumit Earthquake as the destructive earthquake occurred near the Marmara Sea. The Marmara Sea should be focused on because of a seismic gap in the North Anatolian fault. Istanbul is located around the Marmara Sea, so, if next earthquake will occur near Istanbul, fatal damages will be generated.

The Japan and Turkey can share our own experiences during past damaging earthquakes and we can prepare for future large earthquakes in cooperation with each other. In earthquakes in Tokyo area and Istanbul area as the destructive earthquakes near high population cities, there are common disaster researches and measures.

For disaster mitigation, we are progressing multidisciplinary researches.

Our goals of this SATREPS project are as follows,

  1. To develop disaster mitigation policy and strategies based on multidisciplinary research activities.
  2. To provide decision makers with newly found knowledge for its implementation to the current regulations.
  3. To organize disaster education programs in order to increase disaster awareness in Turkey.
  4. To contribute the evaluation of active fault studies in Japan.

This project is composed of four research groups.

The first group is Marmara Earthquake Source region observationally research group.

This group has 4 sub-themes such as Seismicity, Geodesy, Electromagnetics and Trench analyses.

The second group focuses on scenario researches of earthquake occurrence along the North Anatolia fault and precise tsunami simulation in the Marmara region.

Aims of the third group are improvements and constructions of seismic characterizations and damage predictions based on observation researches and precise simulations.

The fourth group is promoting disaster educations using research result visuals.

In this SATREPS project, we will integrate these research results for disaster mitigation in Marmara region and .disaster education in Turkey.

We will have a presentation of the updated results of this SATREPS project.
