“…Turkey is one of the earthquake-prone countries, more that 90% its land lays down in highly seismic regions (Çağatay, 2005). Earthquakes are unpredictable and uncontrollable events that occur infrequently in any one location and several countries live earthquake disasters (McRae et al, 2018). Because of the earthquake disasters, many people die and many buildings collapse or heavily damage.…”

“…The investigations show that the main cause of the destructions and hazards is not the earthquake itself, but the result is hazardous because of the inappropriate production of the structures. To reduce fatalities in an earthquake the most important issue is "earthquake-resistant buildings" as a key preventative measure against earthquake damage (McRae et al, 2018;Bayram et al, 2018).…”

“…McRae et al (2018) report that if earthquake-prone buildings in New Zealand's capital, Wellington, continue to be strengthened or demolished at the current rate, the deadline would be met. McRae et al (2018) report that if earthquake-prone buildings in New Zealand's capital, Wellington, continue to be strengthened or demolished at the current rate, the deadline would be met.…”

“…The deadlines imposed by the Act are still years away, but at the current annual rate of building strengthening, many hundreds of buildings nationwide will not have been strengthened by their government-mandated deadlines. McRae et al (2018) report that if earthquake-prone buildings in New Zealand's capital, Wellington, continue to be strengthened or demolished at the current rate, the deadline would be met. Outside of the country's main centres, however, approval rates for seismic retrofitting suggest that voluntary compliance is much slower (Elcoat, 2016).…”

“…However, recent events such as the 2010/11 Canterbury and 2016 Kaikōura earthquake sequence, the 2017 flooding in Edgecumbe caused by Cyclone Cook, the 2019 Nelson fires, and the 2019 Whakaari/White Island eruption have reinforced the risk posed by natural hazards. The February 22 nd , 2011, Christchurch earthquake alone claimed 185 lives, with the full earthquake sequence causing an estimated NZ$40 billion dollars of loss (Potter, Becker, led to extensive and ongoing debate around how to reduce the impacts of such events in future, including changes to building codes (McRae, McClure, Henrich, Leah, & Charleson, 2017).…”
