 | | Sakarya Province, with a population of 731,800, and its capital, Adapazari, with a population of 183,000 were sites of severe liquefaction and amplification of ground shaking due to soil conditions. |
 | | Since future modeling and planning efforts would require the use of base (pre-earthquake) statistics regarding the settlement that are susceptible to earthquake damage, an effort was made to identify the sources of these types of data. |
 | | Detailed historical population counts of the settlements affected by the 1999 earthquakes in the province, district, and sub-district (including municipalities and smaller settlements other than villages) level were obtained from the State Institute for Statistics (SIS, 1945-1997). |
