Abstract: Econometric scaling approach of vulnerability and risk on building stock to major seismic events is essential for understanding the impact and the consequences of these earthquakes. It also has a predictive value for loss estimation of next events. Due to use of a large amount of information in such multi-criteria approaches, it is a high necessity to develop computerized techniques to automate the calculation process, to manage the data easier and also to represent the results in a manner as suggestive as possible. Therefore, the paper presents the GESKEE (Global Econometric Scaling using Knowledge on Earthquake Effects) Database developed by authors which is an indispensable tool for econometric scaling approach for seismic risk assessment. For this aim, the database was structured starting from special requirements imposed by GESKEE Disaster Scale (2010 version). As a result, according to necessity of econometric calculation and graphical representation of GESKE!
E Disaster Scale (2010 version), a flexible and helpful database (GESKEE Database) was developed. Actually, building up this Database was the main key to improving, developing, updating and to a better interpretation of the GESKEE Disaster Scale (from 1998 version to 2010 version). The results are promising and appear to provide an increased predictive value for the GESKEE Disaster Scale. We consider that this application will be greatly useful and convenient for a transparent and a more efficient seismic risk assessment and loss scaling, providing a better understanding of past seismic events impact and so, a real help in calibration of earthquake disaster prevention policies. In order to point out the innovative edge of GESKEE Database, which is an important tool in social and economic quantification of seismic vulnerability of building stocks and earthquake loss, we present some examples of graphic representations and also some interpretations of the results.
