  • Research Group Name: Urban Transformation of the Areas under Disaster Risk Unit- ARAAD​

​Civil Engineering Faculty members, Assist. Prof. Dr. Almıla Uzel, Assist. Prof. Dr. Özden Saygılı and Assist. Prof. Dr. Eren Vuran has been serving the 4th Technical Committee of Istanbul under the "Urban Transformation of the Areas under Disaster Risk Unit- ARAAD" of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change. They evaluate the objections made by the owners of the buildings that have been determined to be risky, examining and making final approval of the risk assessment of the building, after evaluating the data collected as well as analyses carried out by the licenced engineering companies. Up to date, more than 600 buildings have been assessed and 82 meetings have been performed within the scope of the studies.
