Özet:

 This study investigates the roles of regional development policies and regional disparities in relation to the vulnerability of settlements under earthquake risks. The concentration of economic investments and hence population in a specific region is called value agglomeration VA. VA process in Türkiye has been accelerated after the 1980s as an outcome of liberalization and open trade export-oriented growth policy and resulted in extremely uneven development especially in coastal areas of the country Research findings showed that the majority of most developed districts are located in the riskiest zone, while least developed ones are located in less risky zones. Between 2008 and 2022, Türkiyes total population increased by 13.8 million people, and 8.6 million 63 of this resided in the 1st-degree seismic belt. When the period between 1986-2022 is examined, 73 of the most developed districts and 55 of the priority regions for development are located in the 1st-degree seismic belt. Results reveal that VA is positively correlated with seismic risks, which implies a need for reversing regional development strategies in Türkiye. To achieve a resilient settlement pattern, the government may achieve risk mitigation by preventing VA from taking place in risky areas by adopting effective regional planning policies, government incentives, and investment promotion.

 Bu çalışma, bölgesel kalkınma politikalarının ve bölgesel farklılıkların, yerleşim yerlerinin deprem riski altındaki kırılganlığı üzerindeki rolünü araştırmaktadır. Ekonomik yatırımların ve dolayısıyla nüfusun belli bir bölgede yoğunlaşması değer yığılması DY olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Türkiyede DY süreci 1980lerden sonra liberalleşme ve açık ticaret ihracata dayalı büyüme politikasının bir sonucu olarak hızlanmış ve başta kıyı bölgeleri olmak üzere ülkede son derece eşitsiz bir kalkınmaya yol açmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, en gelişmiş ilçelerin çoğunun en riskli bölgede, en az gelişmiş ilçelerin ise daha az riskli bölgelerde yer aldığını göstermiştir. 2008-2022 yılları arasında Türkiyenin toplam nüfusu 13,8 milyon kişi artmış ve bunun 8,6 milyonu 63 1. derece deprem kuşağında yer seçmiştir. 1986-2022 yılları arasındaki dönem incelendiğinde, en gelişmiş ilçelerin 73ü ve kalkınmada öncelikli yörelerin 55i 1. derece deprem kuşağında yer almaktadır. Sonuçlar, DYnın sismik risklerle pozitif ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymakta ve bu da Türkiyede bölgesel kalkınma stratejilerinin tersine çevrilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Dirençli bir yerleşim modeli elde etmek için hükümet, etkili bölgesel planlama politikaları, devlet teşvikleri ve yatırım teşvikleri benimseyerek; DYnin riskli alanlarda gerçekleşmesini engelleyerek risk azaltımını sağlayabilir.
