Özet

Turkey is a country suffering from disasters, especially earthquakes, because of its location. Disasters cause physical damage as much as economically. One of the most important physical injuries is that the houses become destroyed and cannot be seated. For this reason, the need for housing is very important after a disaster. To cope with this problem, permanent houses, post disaster housing in other words, are built in many areas to provide accommodation for households whose houses cannot be seated. Post disaster housing is important to vulnerable households so that they will be able to return to a better living condition before the disaster. However, since permanent housing is completed by constructing it very quickly, it is important that the life standard of permanent housing is compatible with the previous experience of the users. In this sense, post-use assessments of permanent housing, especially produced after the destructive impact on a disaster, are getting important to subsequent applications to be more successful. Within this scope, permanent residences in Subaşı Village, Yalova Province in Turkey have been examined within the context of post-earthquake transformation applications on 17 August 1999. In the study, the construction of the houses built in Subaşı Village, the general evaluations about the design, the criteria of entitlement, the planning process of the permanent houses, the demographic characteristics of the participants were assessed.

As a result of the study, it was seen that the permanent residential areas in Subaşı village could not integrate with the existing city. With the socialization processes of households with different characteristics, it was observed that different qualities of contribution were made to living areas. Neighbourhood relations and care for open spaces and ownership arrangements affect social relationships together. Individual solutions to designs and lack of ownership regulation in common areas also prevent the formation of management units in permanent residential areas. Thus, an integrated life in the areas of new housing does not come into being. This has led to the conclusion that in the process of integration of permanent residential areas with existing urban areas, social facilities and non-residential uses, business and shopping areas, schools and green spaces should be constructed within a more comprehensive framework.
