| Popis: | 97 Taiwan is located in the circum-Pacific seismic zone, and thus earthquakes are not avoidable. Until now earthquake are still unpredictable and the casualty and the loss of property caused by an earthquake can not be estimated accurately. The magnitude, the focal depth and the epicenter of an earthquake all have an influence on the casualty and the loss of property. Cities are the place where the population and the buildings are crowded and the economy is flourishing. If a major earthquake occurred in cities, the loss will be much more than occurred in other areas. Therefore, it needs for special planning for the urban earthquake disaster prevention. This study focuses on the combination of the earthquake disaster reduction in Taipei metropolitan area and the “Taiwan Earthquake Loss Estimation System（TELES）”, and imitates the risk analysis of urban structures through the point of view of risk management. By considering the risk analysis with the natural environments and human activities the risk factors of the metropolitan area were extracted. Furthermore, this study discussed in length the characteristics, accuracy and availability of these risk factors, and investigated the relationship between them and TELES. This study of risk factors can provide a better framework for risk maps and a better understanding for the characteristics, vulnerability and hazard resilience fot a specific region. Hope that this study can be helpful for the earthquake disaster mitigation planning, urban planning and risk management strategies for the public as well as private sectors. |
