EVALUATION OF ÇANAKKALE EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY AREAS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Authors

Abstract

Turkey's geomorphological structure, combined with rapid urbanization and unexpected natural events, has led to destructive disasters throughout various periods. The province of Çanakkale, located in northwestern Turkey, is one of the regions frequently affected by natural disasters such as forest fires, earthquakes, and floods. Unplanned and rapid urban expansion, as well as development without adequate analysis of the natural environment, has intensified the destructive impact of these events. Preventing these adverse outcomes relies on analyzing existing issues and implementing urgent measures. Based on this premise, this study examines the compliance of emergency gathering areas in Çanakkale with relevant standards. The study assesses the size and accessibility of 12 officially designated emergency assembly areas, evaluating their adequacy in terms of usability and providing recommendations. Additionally, two potential sites within the city center of Çanakkale are analyzed to determine their suitability as earthquake parks according to relevant standards.
