A New Model in Disaster Management:
Turkish National Risk Shield Model

the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change and TOKI, the

the history of the Republic have been initiated in 11 provinces affected by the
earthquake. Thousands of architects, engineers, hundreds of academicians
and tens of thousands of workers are working meticulously in the planning
and construction process of new residential areas. After the microzoning and
geological survey studies, the tender processes were completed and the
construction works were started. In the scope of constructing new safe and
disaster-resilient houses to recover the cities affected by the earthquake, it
was declared that totally 518.192 structures plus 161.808 in the rural areas will
be constructed including totally 680.000 residences and village houses
114.320 shops, 23.511 barns, 1.736 haylofts and 30.433 other structures
which all amount to 850.000 independent units (Özhaseki, 2023a).
It has been accepted as a government policy to build 650 thousand
residences and village houses and to complete 319 thousand of them by the
end of the year and deliver them to the disaster victims.
