The Organization Structure of Turkish Disaster Management: A Critical Evaluation

Sismik risk, Türkiye'deki pek çok yerleşim birimi için sürekli bir tehdit niteliği taşımakta, meydana gelen depremler yüksek miktarda can ve mal kaybına sebebiyet vermektedir. Uzun yıllardır uygulanan doğrusal (lineer) politikalara ve 1999 Marmara depremi sonrasında gerçekleştirilen reformlara rağmen, Türk afet yönetimi, dinamik ve karmaşık afet şartlarında etkin faaliyet gösterecek bir örgütlenme anlayışına sahip değildir. Afet yönetiminin mevcut Örgütlenme politikası ve operasyon prensiplerini belirleyen yasal ve idari düzenlemeler bu problemin önemli bir sebebidir. Depremlere zamanında ve kolektif müdahalenin koordinasyon içerisinde gerçekleştirilmesi, afet ortamlarının karmaşık ve dinamik şartlarına uygun organizasyon politikalarının geliştirilmesini gerektirmektedir.

Türk Afet Yönetiminin Organizasyon Yapısı: Eleştirel Bir Değerlendirme

Seismic risk is a constant threat for most local communities in Turkey. Earthquakes have caused significant losses to human lives and properties. The Policy makers have adopted various linear policies to deal with this complex problem. Despite recent reforms, the organization of Turkish disaster management is ineffective in dealing with complex disaster environments. Current public policies i ncluding the disaster law and regulations as well as the principles of operation are important reasons for this problem. Public policies that count for complexity is required for timely and collective seismic response operations.
