This Volume entitled “Iloilo City Buildings Portfolio Exposure Database 2015–2022” contains the recent building stock with building permits within Iloilo City. It provides the approved building permits data from 2015 to 2022 archived at the Office of the Building Official (OBO) covering all seven (7) districts of Iloilo City composed of Arevalo, City Proper, Jaro, La Paz, Lapuz, Mandurriao, and Molo.
The database, which is approximately 5% of the existing buildings or structures in Iloilo City, specifies for each building the coded building permit number or OBO Code, the address, the floor area, the number of storeys, the lateral load resisting system, the cost of the structure or market value, and the type of occupancy whether residential, commercial, institutional, educational, industrial, accessory or heritage buildings.
ILOILO – A 34-year-old Ilongga overseas Filipino worker (OFW) expressed relief that she made it home safe. The situation in Lebanon is worsening, she said.
Each earthquake event generates a specific ground motion field on a particular site. The ground motion field or hazard, impacts buildings and structures in the area at different levels of severity dependent on various site-specific factors such as the intensity of ground shaking, physical vulnerability of the structures, and soil condition underneath the structures. Understanding the building losses that may be incurred from thousands of probable earthquake events, especially in rapidly-developing cities may engender an informed basis for policies leading to risk reduction and disaster mitigation. Long-term economic investors, for instance, might be able to take into account probable business interruption extent, economic impact, and quick recovery preparations in the event of foreseeable disruptive earthquakes. These may be achieved when earthquake hazard and event-based probabilistic seismic risk assessment is in place.
Iloilo City was selected as the pilot city for the first-ever city-wide event-based probabilistic seismic risk assessment in the Philippines. Being a dynamic first-class highly-urbanized city in Western Visayas, with structures and houses over 100,000, including modern high-rise buildings and centuries-old heritage buildings, and an estimated current population of almost 500,000, the city is poised for an investment influx. With the aggressive cooperation and technical collaboration of the City Government and the immediate availability of workable exposure data, this study came to fruition. A 2-volume report on the event-based probabilistic seismic risk assessment of Iloilo City was produced.
The first volume contains the technical details involved in the development and completion of the study, including full-page ground motion hazard and risk maps, and their corresponding tables.
