     earthquakes have a greater effect on society than most people think. these effects range from structural damages to economic impacts and fatalities. an earthquake only lasts for a few seconds and the aftershocks may continue for days, but the damage does continue for years. residential site safety and earthquake damage assessment studies play a crucial role in developing reliable rehabilitation and development programs, improving preparedness and mitigating losses in urbanized areas. the extremely densely populated metropolis of tehran, which totals of 7,768,561 for 22 districts (according to the 2006 population census), coupled with the fragility of houses and infrastructure, highlight the necessity of a reliable earthquake damage assessment based on essential datasets, such as building resistance attributes, building population, soil structures, streets network and hazardous facilities. this paper presents a gis-based model for earthquake loss estimation for a district in tehran, iran. damages to buildings were calculated only for the ground shaking effect of one of the region's most active faults, the mosha fault in a likely earthquake scenario. earthquake intensity for each building location was estimated based on attenuation relation and the ratio of damage was obtained from customized fragility curves. human casualties and street blockages caused by collapsed buildings were taken into account in this study, as well. finally, accessibility verification found locations without clear passages for temporary settlements by buildings via open streets. the model was validated using the 2003 bam earthquake damages. the proposed model enables the decision-makers to make more reliable decisions based on various spatial datasets before and after an earthquake occurs. the results of the earthquake application showed total losses as follows: structural damages reaching 64% of the building stock, a death rate of 33% of all the residents, a severe injury rate reaching 27% of the population and street closures upwards of 22% due to building collapse.
