Abstract

Earthquake-induced hazard is of paramount concern to city safety. Earthquake accidents have various causes and consequences including substantial economic losses and notably loss of lives. Therefore, any initiative in city earthquake-induced hazard estimate is of vital importance. An integrated GIS-based system was constructed to estimate site effects related to the earthquake hazards and visualize information about the entities gathered from the model based on the graphical representations and demonstrations using data tables and map objects.
