Summary
This paper is concerned with the concept of using physical planning as a tool in reducing the earthquake hazard. We frequently draw our examples from applications or experiences in Turkey, although the ideas are of a general nature. The main parts of the report deal with background information on the effects of earthquakes, mathematical determination of the expectation that any of these effects would affect a given point, resulting eventually in macro-or micro-level zone maps, and a planning stage so that communities will find themselves in an advantageous state when an earthquake emergency occurs.
One appended section contains a rather detailed case study for Gediz earthquake in 1970 in Turkey.
