“…Implementation of resettlement policies considers reducing building pressures on the city centre and residential areas of the inner area; relocating private sector companies, businesses and government establishments into safer districts; and strengthening the overall integrity of community structure. (Orhan, 2015a;Orhan, 2015b). The resettlement areas cannot attract businesses parallel to dwellings, so that private entities continue to settle in damaged urban core.…”

“…The resettlement areas cannot attract businesses parallel to dwellings, so that private entities continue to settle in damaged urban core. The problem caused by recovery policies isolating businesses from household recovery leads to generation of a fragmented urban structure (Orhan, 2015a). While the city growing around the most vulnerable locations with its businesses and industrial plants, a large amount of population still demands to the vulnerable urban core, despite the investments made for a safer location in resettlement areas.…”

“…Contrary to the functionalist approaches prior to 1980s, alternative conceptualizations took place in explaining the social milieu against risks (Orhan, 2015a). The well-known researcher criticizing the basic premises of modernity and industry society in explaining the contemporary world order is Ulrich Beck.…”

“…Moreover, the impaired downtown was regulated by reconstruction policies including a control on and reduction in building heights and densities; by this way it was aimed to achieve a low density development in the damaged area. Despite the resettlement of households in permanent housing district, the area was not able to attract the business community, because firms preferred to recover in affected urban centre city (Orhan, 2015;Orhan, 2016b). During the recovery process, a third urbanization model emerged in the west fringes of the affected downtown.…”

“…Following the earthquake, recovery process was firstly handled by central government, and soon after by local governments. In Adapazari case, initial efforts were made to resettle the distressed community into safer locations through allocation of public resources (Orhan, 2015). Besides the recovery initiatives of state, local governments carried out the recovery process by regulating land-use decisions and development rights in the affected areas (Orhan, 2016d).…”

In developing countries bounded by traditional approaches of disaster management, post-disaster policies may not lead to resilience at aggregate level. Turkey exemplifies the case with its experience in the 1999 Izmit earthquake. The policies applied following the 1999 trajectory to create a safer built environment incorporated resettlement and reconstruction efforts, yet businesses were largely unregulated by local and national governments during the recovery process which leads to development of their own adaptive strategies to survive after the disaster. This paper aims to analyse the adaptation strategies of private enterprises in the face of disasters. In this respect, a case study research was undertaken in Adapazari, Turkey to inquire their adaptive strategies after the disaster with respect to the independent variables of business size and occupancy status. This paper contributes to the field of disaster studies by showing businesses' adaptive capacities that enable them to survive following a disaster. The key findings of this study present that businesses adapt for survival after a natural disaster in accordance with their business size and occupancy status. Although small firms and lease-holder firms challenge with organizational and financial problems, they are able to develop locational strategies which increase their survival change and adaptability against their larger and owner occupied counterparts. ÖzGeleneksel afet yönetimi yaklaşımlarıyla sınırlanan gelişmekte olan ülkelerde afet sonrası politikalar toplum düzeyinde dirençlilik yaratamayabilir. 1999 Depremini deneyimlemiş olan Türkiye böyle bir durumu örneklemektedir. 1999 trajedisinin ardından güvenli bir yapılı çevre oluşturmak için uygulanan politikalar yeniden yerleştirme ve yeniden yapım çabalarını içermektedir, ancak iyileşme sürecinde işyerlerinin yerel ve merkezi yönetimlerce kapsamlı düzenlemelere dahil edilmemesi afetten sonra ayakta kalmak için kendi uyum stratejilerini geliştirmelerine neden olmuştur. Bu çalışma afete maruz kalan işyerlerinin uyum stratejilerini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. İşyeri büyüklüğü ve mülkiyet sahipliliğini gösteren bağımsız değişkenlere göre işyerlerinin afet sonrası uyum stratejileri Adapazarı örneğinde bir saha araştırması ile ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışma işyerlerinin afet sonrasında kendilerini ayakta tutacak uyum kapasitelerini ortaya koyarak afet çalışmaları alanına katkı koymaktadır. Araştırmanın temel bulguları işyeri büyüklüğü ve mülkiyet sahipliliğine göre işyerlerinin bir doğal afetten sonra ayakta kalmaya uyumlandıklarını göstermektedir. Küçük ve kiracı olan firmalar her ne kadar organizasyonel ve finansal sorunlar yaşasalar da geliştirdikleri yer seçim stratejileri ile büyük ve mülk sahibi rakiplerine karşın hayatta kalma ve adapta olabilme şanslarını artırmaktadır.
