Methods of post disaster accommodation in terms of project management; case of Isparta

Abstract

There are many faults in Turkey and %93 percent of land, %98 percent of population, %98 percent of  industrial area, %95 percent of dams in Turkey carry the earthquake risks. Turkey has encountered with many earthquakes and obtained lessons learned to improve the process of project with respect to supporting rapid accommodation, health, education and any other requirements. Studies have been revealed that after earthquake, three stages have been applied namely, Emergency Stage, Rehabilitation Stage, Reconstruction Stage to help the victims. According to Project Management Institute (PMI), Project Management Process Group (PMPG) consists of initiation, planning, execution, controlling & monitoring and closing. Applying these stages are vital to provide support according to plan. To understand importance of this process group, witness’ comments are evaluated, and defined bottleneck throughout providing support. Moreover, efficiency and productivity shall be measured in order to ensure being within time and budget. In this study, after earthquake process is studied in terms of project management. Results are discussed and lessons learned are obtained in order to take measurement associated with post disaster for Isparta- Burdur zone located in the mid-west of Mediterranean, Turkey.
