Data Collection Survey Report on Earthquake Management in Iran
DATA COLLECTION SURVEY REPORT ON EARTHQUAKE MANAGEMENT IN IRAN AUGUST 2019 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY (JICA) JAPAN METEOROLOGICAL BUSINESS SUPPORT CENTER AND YACHIYO ENGINEERING CO., LTD. 7R JR 19-010 Summary 1. Overview of Iran The Islamic Republic of Iran is located in the southwest Asia and the country has a mountainous area and a desert. The land area is around 1.6 million km2 and it is approx. 4.4 times1 that of Japan. It is bordered by the Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia to the north, by Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east, by Turkey and Iraq to the west, and by the Persian Gulf, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to the south. The Zagros mountains, which run from the Iraqi border to the Persian Gulf coast, was formed as a result of a collision between the Arabian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The Arabian Plate is still moving at a rate of around 25 mm a year, and the accumulation of seismic energy caused by its collision with the i Eurasian plate produces frequent earthquakes in Iran. The capital, Tehran, experiences major earthquakes with an approximate 150-year cycle. Accordingly, there is a high interest in reducing earthquake risk. 2. Background and Outline of the Project Accordingly, the national government has laid out policies for goals such as enhancement of measures against natural disasters and strengthened research for earthquake risk mitigation through the expansion of earthquake observation networks in its laws and development plans. Against this background, seismic activity is monitored extensively on a nationwide basis, and earthquake-related research is actively carried out. -
MYTILINEOS Is Grand Panhellenic Sponsor of the Educational Seminars of the Initiative “Protect Your Child from Cyber Crime”
MYTILINEOS is Grand PanHellenic Sponsor of the educational seminars of the Initiative “Protect your Child from Cyber Crime” Global Sustainable Development Goal supported by the initiative. Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Initiatives Athens, Greece – 14 February 2018 – MYTILINEOS supports, as Grand PanHellenic Sponsor, the implementation of the educational seminars of the Initiative “Protect your Child from Cyber Crime”, scheduled to take place in 10 Greek cities between February and March 2018. The Initiative aims to function as a means of prevention, as well as a means of educating and informing parents, children and young people about the risks of cyber-crime and the ways to protect themselves from potential threats. Across the planet, millions of cases involving children who have fallen victim to cyber-crime, illustrate this new reality and demonstrate the urgent need to provide all the parties involved with information about the risks posed by the ever-increasing use of the Internet. Thus, for MYTILINEOS the impact of this particular initiative goes well beyond the boundaries of a typical sponsorship, making it part of the actions of a high social value which the Company has been implementing since 2016, seeking to contribute to the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (2030 Agenda) and, more specifically, of Goal 16, which promotes the termination of all forms of violence, abuse and exploitation involving children. Schoolchildren, parents and educators will have the opportunity to learn about the myths and the realities surrounding the issue of safe Internet use, as well as about related modern-day phenomena, addiction, high-risk behaviours, ways in which to deal with the challenges posed by the digital world, and other very interesting and useful topics. -

The depth and style of faulting in this event are consistent with shortening of the shallow Arabian crust within the Zagros Mountains in response to active convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian plates. Because this event is an intraplate event, occurring almost 300 km south of the main plate boundary, and since the event likely did not break the surface, precise identification of the causative fault is difficult at this time. On a broad scale, the seismotectonics of southern Iran are controlled by active convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates. -

Abstract On 9 April 2013, an earthquake of 6.1 magnitude hit southwestern Iran near the city of Khvormuj and the towns of Kaki and Shonbeh in Bushehr province. The official disaster mitigation committee took immediate actions to coordinate rescue teams equipped with 24-hour medical air assistance. Overall, 160 victims were transferred to and treated in the Khvormuj hospital, while 139 survivors were transferred to the hospitals in Bushehr for specialized care. The survivors have been settled in temporary shelters with adequate primary supplies. -

The Earthquake Disaster Risk in Japan and Iran and the Necessity of Dynamic Learning from Large Earthquake Disasters Over Time
Chapter 2 The Earthquake Disaster Risk in Japan and Iran and the Necessity of Dynamic Learning from Large Earthquake Disasters over Time Michaela IbrionMichaela Ibrion and Nicola PaltrinieriNicola Paltrinieri Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.76014 Abstract This book chapter targets how learning from large earthquakes disasters occurred and developed in Japan and Iran in the last 100 years. As research case studies, large earth- quake disasters in Japan and Iran were investigated and analyzed. Normal distribution was found to be a good estimate of the magnitude distribution for earthquakes, in both the countries. In Japan, there is almost a linear correlation between magnitude of earth- quakes and number of dead people. However, such correlation is not present for Iran. This lack of correlation in Iran and existence of linear correlation in Japan highlights that the magnitude of earthquakes directly affects the number of fatalities and extent of destruction in Japan, while in Iran, there is an increased complexity with regard to the fac- tors affecting earthquake consequences. A correlation is suggested between earthquake culture and learning from large earthquake disasters in both Japan and Iran. Learning from large earthquake disasters is impacted by a multitude of factors, but the rhythm of learning in Japan is much higher if compared with Iran. For both Japan and Iran, a reac- tive learning approach based on past earthquake disasters needs to be constantly backed up by a proactive approach and dynamic learning.

Scientific Lessons Learned from Arabian Gulf Earthquakes الدروس
Scientific Lessons Learned From Arabian Gulf Earthquakes الدروس العلمية المستفادة من زﻻزل منطقة الخليج العربي Abdullah M. Alamri Seismic Studies Center, King Saud Univ. Why did the earthquake occur? • Iran is situated on a destructive plate boundary between the Arabian plate and the Eurasian plate. • The Arabian plate is moving northwards into the Eurasian plate at a rate of 3cms per year. • Stresses build up in the crust which are eventually released in the form of seismic energy • The seismic energy, in the form of primary and secondary earthquake waves ,cause the surface of the earth to deform. • The ground movement causes buildings to collapse and communications to be damaged. Tectonic Framework of the Arabian Gulf Convergence of the Arabian Plate with the southern Eurasian margin forms the Zagros Mountains. Arabian Gulf is underlain by continental lithosphere. The northern UAE and Musandam Peninsula mark a structural transition between the Semail Ophilite and the Arabian Platform. 3 Reykjanes Ridge EURASIAN PLATE EURASIAN PLATE Mid- Atlantic ANATOLIAN Ocean PLATE Ridge JUAN DE NORTH FUCA PLATE AMERICAN CARIBBEAN CHINA PLATE Transform PLATE SUBPLATE PHILIPPINE ARABIAN fault PLATE PLATE PACIFIC AFRICAN Mid- PLATE COCOS PLATE PLATE Indian Transform SOUTH Ocean fault AMERICAN Carlsberg Ridge East Pacific PLATE Ridge SOMALIAN Rise INDIAN-AUSTRLIAN PLATE SUBPLATE Southeast Indian Ocean Ridge Transform Southwest Indian fault Ocean Ridge ANTARCTIC PLATE Plate motion Divergent ( ) and Plate motion Convergent at convergent transform fault ( -
