IGRS-2009, Second Announcement - International Geo

International Geo-Hazards Research Symposium
Organized by the International Geo-Hazards Research Society (IGRS)
Istanbul (TURKEY), March 9- 11 , 2009
2nd Announcement
1. LOCATION
The location of the Symposium has been designated as İstanbul Technical University
(ITU) – Taşkışla Building – Istanbul, Turkey for reducing risk of time-wasting due to
daily traffic of Istanbul Megacity. Moreover, the historic building of the Taşkışla
(housing the Department of Architecture of the ITU) is very close to Taksim square (5
minute walking distance) and thus it is the best suited for this occasion. In Figure 1.
general map showing the Taksim Square with respect to the Atatürk Airport is shown.
In Figure 2, Taksim Square, Taşkışla Building (Symposium Building) and the
Symposium Hotels are shown. In Figure 3, pictures of the symposum building are
shown.

2. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Natural as well as man-made hazards are phenomena unfortunately from which
people suffer. The range of hazards in consideration varies from earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, land slides to tsunamis. The main aim of this meeting is to bring
together, experts working in science, organizations and authorities dealing with topics
as risk mitigation related to natural hazards. The organizers want to stimulate the
contacts and the exchange of knowledge to understand and improve multidisciplinary researches in natural hazards.

11. WELCOME TO ISTANBUL
Istanbul is a cosmopolitan city built on two continents. The most recent population
census shows that it has a population of about 12 million people, from which almost
65% are inhabitants of the Asian side. Fulfilling the residential role of the city, it
doesn't present a lot to see historically. In contrast, the European side is the
commercial and cultural center, further divided into two districts (the Old City and the
modern downtown) by a narrow channel of water called 'the Golden Horn'. Below you
will find some helpful details to make your stay easier when you are in Istanbul. More
info at http://www.istanbultravelguide.net/facts.htm
12. TECHNICAL PROGRAM
The Symposium technical program as below will start on Monday March 9th and will
be completed on March 11th. Posters will be displayed throughout the three days of
the Symposium; however, on the mornings of the March 10th and 11th, special
Posters hours have been allocated in order to enable the participants to view the
posters freely and engage into communications with poster presenters.
