Seismic Shockwaves: Analyzing the Impact of the Earthquake Hazards in Pakistan from 1922-2023 through GIS Modeling and Socioeconomic Consequences

Abstract

All through the globe, Earthquakes give serious difficulties to the hardness and flexibility of the framework and society. Pakistan is particularly inclined to seismic dangers due to its geographic area along dynamic plate tectonics limits. This study offers an intensive survey of Pakistan's seismic Earthquake events over the past hundred years where 143,936 deaths are reported, taking a gander at their recurrence, size, and impacts on society. Total 34 out of 35 earthquakes have been reported with magnitude 5 or more than 5. Total 9 out 35 earthquakes had magnitude more than 7 reflecting severity.  The examination shows eminent contrasts in the impacts of quakes, going from horrendous events making numerous passings and broad dislodging less extreme seismic occasions with more modest social ramifications. This study features the need for areas of strength to execute risk-decrease techniques to develop earthquake flexibility further and lessen obstructions and property harm during seismic occasions, given the examination of authentic examples and geological circulation of tremors. To make stronger foundations and networks, the exploration additionally accentuates the meaning of complete calamity risk the board techniques, for example, early advance notice frameworks, missions to bring issues to light, and limit building projects. The consequences of this study might coordinate asset assignment and future endeavors by the public authority to decrease gambles and further develop flexibility in Pakistan's seismic event-inclined regions. Pakistan can improve its status and limit the impacts of future seismic tremors by cooperating and making designated interests in decreasing and dealing with catastrophe gambles, prompting a safer and economic future for everybody.
