Abstract :
The paper examines the severity of earthquakes
in Turkey along with different timelines and numerous
policies that were made to combat them. It lays special
emphasis on the implementation of earthquake tax
introduced in 1999 after the Kocaeli earthquake and the
controversies surrounding it. At the time when Turkey was
hit by a catastrophic magnitude of 7.4 and thousands were
killed the Turkish army along withnumerous foreign NGOs
played a major role in providing immediate support in
contrast to the present scenario where due to government
constraints both of the institutions couldn’t be mobilized
with immediate effect. It also brings in the discussion about
the negligence from the administrative side in construction
laws and how it has now left millions of Turkish people
homeless while briefly touching upon different construction
strategies implemented by Japan.
