The main objective in the determination of building’s earthquake safety is to enable giving the correct decisions on the existing building stock by conducting the necessary inspections and calculations on existing buildings in advance of a possible earthquake. In this context accurate results may be achieved by employing methods that enables faster evaluation of buildings and provides more accurate results. The purpose in these rapid methods is to determine the buildings that have priority in terms of risk and accordingly to minimize the number of buildings to be inspected. Among these methods the Canadian Seismic scanning method and the first stage evaluation method included in the principles concerning the determination of risk-bearing buildings promulgated by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in 2013 were used in the present study. Within the scope of the study, an existing masonry construction in Diyarbakır was selected. The performance scores of these structures were calculated separately with the use of the mentioned two methods. This study would be a source to assessment of masonry structures.
