It is well known that earthquake is a major and most devastating natural catastrophe peril worldwide. As such, Turkey being placed within several tectonic plates, it is not an exception. Moreover, it is one of the most exposed countries globally. Researches shows that major cities in Turkey, such as İstanbul, İzmir, Malatya, Erzincan, Hatay and Van have been struck by devastating earthquakes several times in the past.
