As search and rescue efforts continue on buildings that collapsed after the 6.6 magnitude earthquake, the epicenter of the Aegean Sea off Seferihisar, the mayor of the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Soyer announced the findings that will be discussed.
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Tunç Soyer shared his findings on all the destroyed buildings on the live broadcast he attended.
Soyer said that deformations such as the cutting of columns were detected in the ground floors of the buildings, all of them licensed between the years 92 and 99, which were converted into a business center.
“THEY CUT THE COLUMNS TO MAKE A SPORTS ROOM”
Stating that the destroyed buildings were built before the building license regulation issued in 99, Soyer said: “In the first observations, we have data that shows that sea sand was used.
There is information about the weakness of the reinforcement areas. They even cut the column on the ground floor, for example, to make a market, to build a gym, “he said.
“WE WILL REQUEST A LEGAL AGREEMENT”
Saying, “There is a need for new regulation and legal regulation regarding buildings that have been licensed in 99,” Soyer said, “We do not have the authority to determine if there is a building deformation with respect to buildings that have been licensed prior to the 99 “date.
There is no such authority. However, this must happen. Therefore, after our first job is finished, I will make a determination on the ground floors of all buildings that were licensed before 99.
As a result of these determinations, we will make a legal regulation request to make a demolition decision for buildings that are in a state of demolition, uninhabitable and threatening. We will do that. We will make these determinations for buildings throughout Izmir. I am sure that these structural deformations occur in many buildings. Unfortunately, this is also present in destroyed buildings. That is why we must take precautions here. “
“WE WILL SCAN THE BUILDINGS RETURNED TO A SHOPPING CENTER ONE BY ONE”
By saying, “We are learning an important lesson from one perspective,” Soyer explained, “we have never thought of areas with buildings licensed for urban transformation.
We have always thought that urban transformation is necessary in areas where unlicensed buildings are located. Whereas, in places where there are buildings and zoning plans licensed for damage caused by the earthquake we are experiencing. So we have to break our routine.
In other words, we need an innovation and a new perspective in the development plans of licensed areas. Ultimately, we will begin to work on this urban transformation with a new perspective.
The second is that we will immediately scan all the buildings that were licensed before 99, and the ground floors that were inhabited became businesses. “
“IF NECESSARY I WILL MOVE TO ASSEMBLY”
Soyer continued: “We do not have the authority to conduct such an inspection when we do not receive a notice of building deformation.” “There is no fracture related to the Izmir faults yet. It is a disaster caused by the rupture of an unknown fault in the sea.”
WE DO NOT KNOW IF THE BUILDINGS ARE DURABLE
Serdar Sandal, mayor of Bayraklı, who suffered the most damage in the earthquake, said: ‘We do not have a situation to know whether destroyed and damaged buildings are earthquake resistant. How can we know that? The responsibility lies with the Ministry of the Environment and Urbanization ”.
