1 International Geo-Hazards Research Symposium Organized by the International Geo-Hazards Research Society (IGRS) Istanbul (TURKEY), March 9-11, LOCATION 2 nd Announcement 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. Figure 1. Map showing the Taksim Square with respect to the Atatürk Airport IGRS-2009, Second Announcement, 1/6

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. IGRS-2009, Second Announcement, 2/6

6 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 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.
