Abstract
This chapter presents the application of the SYNER-G general methodology and tools to the case study of Thessaloniki. The application includes the building stock (BDG), the electric power network (EPN), the water supply system (WSS) and the road network (RDN) with specific interdependencies between systems. The seismic hazard model is based on the seismic zones proposed in the SHARE project (Giardini et al., Seismic hazard harmonization in Europe (SHARE). Online data resource, http://portal.share-eu.org:8080/jetspeed/portal/. doi:10.12686/SED-00000001-SHARE, 2013). For each system, the main features for the systemic analysis and the system topology and characteristics are described. Then the analysis results are presented. They include damages, casualties (deaths, injuries) and displaced people for BDG and connectivity-based Performance Indicators (PIs) for EPN, WSS and RDN systems. Apart from the average performance and the Mean Annual Frequency (MAF) of exceedance of the PIs, the distribution of estimated damages and losses for specific events is also given through thematic maps. The significant elements for the functionality of each system are defined through correlation factors to the system PIs. Finally, representative results of the shelter demand analysis are given. They are based on a multi-criteria approach that takes into account the outcomes of the systemic risk analysis for buildings and utility systems as well as other indicators.
