Abstract:

Although the experiences of disaster in our country have contributed to the practice of the intervention and recovery works that can be considered successful in recent years, this success alone is not enough in terms of reducing the losses that occur after the disaster. International developments in disaster management emphasize the importance of reducing disaster losses before they occur. This means talking about a “risk management focused” disaster management. It is also important for the construction of disaster-resilience cities that the understanding of “disaster risk management” adopted at national as well as international level regarding disasters is comprehensive and coordinated at central and local level. In this study, under the coordination of provincial Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency directorates with the approach of creating risk-free, safe and qualified living environments, which is one of the Sustainable Urbanization and Spatial Development Principles, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Plan, which is aimed to be completed in 81 provinces by the end of 2021, Its contribution to the creation of strong cities has been evaluated in terms of urban planning. The results of the evaluation show that the success of disaster risk reduction plans which have an important place for the construction of resilient cities will be possible with an integrated strategy based on the mitigation principle.
