As a result of recent disasters in northwest Turkey (Marmara earthquake August 17, 1999/Düzce earthquake November 12, 1999), many buildings collapsed and many people experienced physical and mental problems.

A design of natural-hazard land-use planning for minimising the consequences of recent and possible earthquakes is presented herein.
