Environmental and Social Review Summary Istanbul Kadikoy-Kartal-Kaynarca Transportation System Feb 24 This Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) is prepared by MIGA staff and disclosed in advance of the MIGA Board consideration of the proposed issuance of a Contract of Guarantee. Its purpose is to enhance the transparency of MIGA’s activities. This document should not be construed as presuming the outcome of the decision by the MIGA Board of Directors. Board dates are estimates only. Any documentation which is attached to this ESRS has been prepared by the project sponsor, and authorization has been given for public release. MIGA has reviewed the attached documentation as provided by the applicant, and considers it of adequate quality to be released to the public, but does not endorse the content. Country: Turkey Sector: Infrastructure Project Enterprises: West LB Istanbul Branch, I.B.B. (Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality) Directorate of Rail Systems Environmental Category: B Date ESRS Disclosed: February 24, 2011 Status: Due Diligence A. Project Description MIGA has been asked to provide guarantees for the construction and operation of metro extension line Kadikoy-Kartal-Kaynarca (25,9 km) on the Asian (Anatolian) side of Istanbul (“project”). This metro extension is a transit line between business, light industry sites and residential areas in Kadikoy, Kartal, Maltepe and Pendik districts of Istanbul. The line will ultimately connect the Bosphorous Tube Tunnel Crossing via the Ibrahimaga Station, providing convenient and fast access to the European side of Istanbul and to the rest of the city’s metro system. The project will be constructed in two phases: Phase-I works comprise the construction of 21.7 km of the civil works and electro- mechanical systems of the line between Kadikoy and Kartal, which includes 16 metro stations. Work on this phase started in 2008, with Avrasya Metro Grubu (AMG) with Astaldi as the lead contractor1. IFC invested in the first phase of the project; the project ESRS was disclosed by IFC on August 5, 2008 (www.ifc.org). Phase-II consists of the additional extension of the metro line of 4.2 km from Kartal to Kaynarca with three stations, and the construction of a parking and maintenance area. The estimated volume is 70.000 passengers/hour, but is expected that it can increase up to 90.000 passengers/hour. Construction of tunnels for Kartal –Kaynarca line will be conducted by AMG, but station construction will be conducted by another construction group yet to be identified by Metropolitan Municipality of Istanbul (I.B.B), Both Phases I and II will be operated as one entity. 1 Astaldi is leading the consortium that is constructing the Metro Extension. This consortium comprises: Astaldi (42%), Makyol (41%) and Gulermak (17%). 1 B. Environmental and Social Categorization The project is a Category B under MIGA’s Policy on Social and Environmental Sustainability. The key social and environmental issues are land acquisition and compensation, loss of livelihood by minibus drivers and owners who are working on the same route, community and workers’ health and safety, air quality, noise, and spill management (particularly during the construction phase). These impacts are/can be mitigated through generally recognized mitigation measures and standards. Key among the most relevant prevention and mitigation measures during construction and operation include minimization of water and energy consumption and emissions, improved tunneling safety, appropriate waste management (including disposal and excavation spoils), adoption of proper workers’ health and safety measures, and fair and transparent compensation for affected people through land acquisition and loss of livelihood. The project is expected to have largely positive environmental and social impacts as it will provide a clean mass transport alternative that will alleviate road congestion and reduce fossil-based mass transport as part of Istanbul Master Transport Plan. C. Applicable Standards Although all Performance Standards are applied to the project, based on our current information it is expected that the project will be managed in accordance with the following Performance Standards: - PS1: Social and Environmental Assessment and Management System - PS2: Labor and Working Conditions - PS3: Pollution Prevention and Abatement - PS4: Community Health, Safety and Security - PS5: Land Acquisition and Resettlement - PS8: Cultural Heritage Since there are no protected natural habitats or recognized indigenous communities in the area of influence of the project, PS 6: Biodiversity Conservation & Sustainable Natural Resources Management and PS7: Indigenous Peoples do not apply for the purpose of MIGA’s review of this project. D. Key Documents and Scope of MIGA Review MIGA’s review of this project consisted of appraising environmental and social information submitted by West LB and Astaldi and a site visit in July 2010. As part of its due diligence MIGA reviewed IFC’s ESRS and also consulted IFC, who provided a loan to I.B.B for the Kadikoy-Kartal section of the metro extension and met with I.B.B personnel assigned to the project. 2 Documents presented to MIGA and reviewed: • Kadikoy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System Environmental Impact Assessment Report – Prepared by Mimko (June 2010) • Kadikoy-Kartal Metro Line IFC Community Consultations for Performance Standards Review – prepared by Blackstone Corporation (July 2010) • Occupational Health and Safety Management System Risk Assessment for Kadikoy – Kartal – prepared by AMG (August 2008) • Occupational Health and Safety Emergency Action Plan for Kadikoy – Kartal - prepared by AMG (July 2008) • Operative Safety Plan for Kadikoy-Kartal prepared by AMG (August 2008) • Project Safety Plan for Kadikoy-Kartal – June 2009 • Project Environment Management Plan for Kadikoy-Kartal – October 2008 • Project Report for Kadikoy-Kartal prepared by AMG (December 2010) • Project Quality Management Plan for Kadikoy-Kartal prepared by AMG (December 2010) • Annual Activity Monitoring Report for Kadikoy-Kartal prepared by AMG (2009) • Annual Activity Monitoring Report for Kadikoy-Kartal prepared by AMG (2010) • Project Presentation File (PPF) for Kadikoy-Kartal prepared by Dokay ltd (May 2005) E. Key Issues and Mitigation PS1: Social and Environmental Assessment and Management Systems A Project Presentation File (PPF) was completed in May 2005 for Kadikoy and Kartal line by Dokay Engineering and Consulting Ltd. under a contract by the I.B.B in order to comply with Turkish environmental permitting requirements, which are aligned with the European Union standards and regulations. The PPF contains a preliminary evaluation of potential environmental impacts and descriptions of mitigation measures of the physical environment including issues such as land use, water and energy consumption, liquid and solid wastes, and emissions. The PPF was reviewed by a commission by the Governorate of Istanbul Environment Directorate (on behalf of the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Forestry). It was resolved that no full environmental impact assessment was required for the project. Then in 2010, an environmental impact assessment report was conducted by Mimko consultants for Kadikoy-Kartal-Kaynarca to assess the impacts of additional Kartal-Kaynarca line, design and layout changes occurred during the construction of Phase I (Kadikoy-Kartal line), and the repair and maintenance facility. In 2011, Istanbul Environment Directorate decided that no full environmental impact assessment was required for the project. The project’s technical feasibility analyses included geotechnical assessments and seismic analysis, detailed land use surveys along the proposed project corridor, including structural surveys of existing building structures located above the tunnel in consideration of potential risks to community health and safety due to vibration impacts of tunnel construction. Construction phase management: The construction technology was changed. The section Altayçeşme-Kartal was determined to be excavated by TBM (technology which requires no blasting, as per Main Contract requirements; The main TBM site 3 has been located in Kartal from where the two TBM would have access and began to bore the running tunnel towards the foreseen direction of Altayçeşme. Whereas, the alignment between Kozyatağı-Altayçeşme was planned - under Employer consent - to be carried out by the conventional NATM method in order to gain time until finalization of the TBM delivery and installation process. Afterwards , the Municipality “Major Consent” awarding the extension of 4,5 km towards Pendik Direction for the Kadıköy-Kartal Rail System Line has been notified to the Contractor by Employer letter no. M.34.0.İBB.0.14.50-19C.09.S/168 and dated 14.01.2009. The aforementioned extention comprises a double line tunnel section excavation to be carried out by TBM. Further investigations and studies performed implied the need to revise the construction method in order to enable the Contractor to remain within the contractual completion terms. Thus, the section between Kozyatağı-Kartal has been decided to be carried out by the conventional NATM Method, whereas the extension between Kartal- Kaynarca will be carried out by TBM. The construction consortium, AMG led by Astaldi, developed an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which presents appropriate measures for noise and vibration, spoil, ground water, waste, dust, vehicle and plant emissions management,

    Assessment of Social Vulnerability Using Geographic Information Systems: Pendik, Istanbul Case Study

    Assessment of Social Vulnerability Using Geographic Information Systems: Pendik, Istanbul Case Study Zeynep Haki, Zuhal Akyürek, Şebnem Düzgün Middle East Technical University, Natural and Applied Sciences, Geodetic and Geographic Information Technologies 06531- Ankara, Turkey [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] SUMMARY This study aims to develop a methodology to define vulnerable groups in terms of their social conditions for any possible hazard, with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology, in the case study area of earthquake-prone Pendik, Istanbul. In the calculation of social vulnerability certain indicators were estimated and used as criterion data. Criterion standardization, weighting and combining were accomplished by means of multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) methods, the theoretical background being based on the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT). In order to avoid the subjectivity of the assessment, 10 more evaluations are utilized. The results show that, the income- and educational-level indicators are the most important factors in defining the social vulnerability. These outputs are supported with some explorative spatial data analyses to understand global trends and spatial interactions in order to be used in pre- and post-disaster planning. Besides, to determine the physical effects of basic services and transportation, some GIS Analyses are applied. The objectivity of the assessment and the complicated structure of the study data are discussed for an effective disaster management. The main outcomes of the methodology and its applications show that, the southwest part of Pendik is socially vulnerable to any possible hazard. KEYWORDS: Social Vulnerability Assessment, Pre- and Post-Disaster Planning, Disaster Management, Spatial Data Analysis, GIS, Pendik-İstanbul INTRODUCTION Natural hazards are the reality of today’s world, which considerably affect people’s living conditions.

    PRESS NOTE SICILY TO SEE JOB CREATION WITH CONSTRUCTION OF BICOCCA-CATENANUOVA RAILWAY SECTION MILAN, March 25, 2019 – “Today we celebrate in Sicily not only the start of a strategic project but also a relaunch of Sicily itself which, with this new section of the Palermo – Catania railway, welcomes this opportunity to further the development of the island’s infrastructure and create jobs in a region that has seen high levels of unemployment and a loss of workers to other areas of the country. This project alone will provide work for a combined total of 1,000 people , helping relaunch employment in the region for 1,000 families, especially Sicilian ones,” said Pietro Salini, Chief Executive of Salini Impregilo, at a ceremony celebrating the start of the €186-million project to expand the 38-kilometre Bicocca and Catenanuova section of the railway line between Palermo and Catania. The project belongs to a European Union initiative to create the so-called TEN-T network to connect and improve the functioning of the continent. “This is an important project for the people who will work on it as well as those who will eventually benefit from a faster connection between the two parts of the island. The effect that this project will have today and when it will be completed is proof of how much it is a priority for Italy to relaunch the entire infrastructure sector and create jobs. Our company has been present in Sicily for nearly 100 years but it has been away from it for 15 of them.
