Abstract
Disaster, which has been a great danger to humanity throughout history, has become a priority issue for urban planning due to the loss of life or property in cities. From the proclamation of the republic to the 2000s, cities have been intervened with various planning decisions. In the 2000s, apart from these decisions, a new era has been entered in the fight against disasters in cities with the urban renewal interventions that started to be included in the legislation. In particular, law no 6306 ‘Law on the Renewal of Areas Under the Risk of Disaster’, which began to be included in the laws in 2012, aims to implement urban transformation only for the disaster risk areas identified in the cities. Although the law is a necessery form of intervention against urban disasters, it does not make clearly criteria or definitions for risky area determination. Due to this gap in the law, it is the hypothesis of the study that the law numbered 6306 cannot be fully implemented within the scope of disaster relief. In line with the hypothesis put forward, it has been obtained that risky area announcements within the scope of Law No. 6306 published in the ‘Turkey Official-Gazette’ from the date of the law to the present, that is, from May 2012 to November 2021 and Turkey's disaster situation from various institution reports and studies. The aim of the study is to reveal both the spatial and chronological relations of these data obtained. While comparing the two data, spatial analysis is made with the ArcGIS program, and the number and locations of the announcements are statistically analyzed with the SPSS program. With the data obtained in line with those analyzes, it is essential to understand the struggle with urban disasters to reveal the relationship between the places where disasters that cause significant losses occur, current risk analyzes and places declared as risky areas within the scope of Law No. 6306.
