For years, we know that we have been in an earthquake zone, we speak and suffer every few years. Most of our settlements are around fault lines with high earthquake risk. But we are not the only country living with an earthquake. We are one of the countries with the greatest losses every time. Because our ambitions are killing us, not earthquakes.
The ambitions of the ministries that allow housing in the river bed, swamp, and seaside are killing,
Avoiding from iron, concrete, floor improvement costs and acting according to their own knowledge, not engineers; The ambitions of the contractors who built 9 floors on the ground with 4 floors of zoning and escaped,
The ambitions of building inspection companies that cannot speak out because they receive the payment from the contractor are killing,
Instead of obeying the project in hand, the ambitions of the worker, the master, who try to do the job as easy as possible and to slack off at the first opportunity, are killing,
The ambitions of the landowners who only calculate m2 and money, regardless of whether they are competent or not, their building knowledge, or financial status, are killing,
Depending on the state of the building they live in, the ambitions of the homeowners who resist urban transformation are killing because their m2 will shrink or they will get money out of their pocket,
The ambitions of the crafty neighbors who want to turn their building into an urban transformation into an opportunity, try to get money from the contractor openly and prolong the process for this are killing,
The ambitions of the municipalities that do not demolish the buildings despite being rotten and take precautions are killing,
The ambitions of the state, which collects money from the citizens and accepts and legalizes their rotten buildings through methods such as Night Land Amnesty, Development Amnesty, Reconstruction Peace, etc.
The ambitions of the judges who leave their fate to time out instead of asking the science responsible of the destroyed and damaged buildings to account are killing,
The ambitions of real estate agents who do not give the necessary information while selling / renting the rotten building, even trading in the rotten building, are killing,
The ambitions of the citizens who look at the kitchen cabinets instead of looking at the floor, project and statics while buying a house are killing!
We are killing us, not buildings, not earthquakes!
zoning law was revised to 164 times in Turkey, and hundreds of construction for urban transformation law, decrees and laws the final conclusions of law were always the same. No matter how many laws we put in place, the result will not change as long as we are a society where we spend our efforts on ways of not obeying it instead of obeying it! Not laws, laws, controls from earthquakes; With the awareness that building earthquake-resistant buildings is an ethical responsibility, it will protect the generations that we will raise.
