Land-use planning based on the seismic hazard evaluation in the Greater Tehran Metropolitan

Master and Comprehensive Plans of Tehran are now under revision. In the previous plans, no disaster risk mitigation considerations have been taken into account, but in this revision, seismic risk management is one of the key elements. This project is carrying out by IIEES and will cover different aspects of disaster risk mitigation and management including seismology, geotechnic, vulnerability of structures and lifelines, emergency response, etc. The results will be used in Tehran master and comprehensive plans to be considered for future development in the metropolitan.
