24 years after the earthquake disaster that we experienced on August 19, 1999, the fact that similar scenes are experienced today also reveals the deficiencies in the measures taken. 5 thousand 545 housings built by TOKI in Kahramanmaraş, 8 thousand 18 in Hatay, 3 thousand 323 in Osmaniye, 20 thousand 605 in Malatya, 17 thousand 261 in Şanlıurfa, 20 thousand 912 in Diyarbakır, 27 thousand 947 in Gaziantep, 7 thousand 65 in Adıyaman, 21 thousand 154 in Adana and 1,929 in Kilis survived the earthquakes epicenter in Kahramanmaraş without any structural damage. 
 
It has been reported by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change that 133,759 houses built by TOKI in 10 provinces where the earthquake epicenter in Kahramanmaraş took place did not suffer any structural damage from the earthquakes. 
 
According to the information received, TOKİ, which has been producing social housing for low-income citizens for more than 20 years, is building safe houses in provinces and districts with urban transformations. TOKİ has built 1 million 180 thousand houses since 2002. 
 
TOKI had built 5 thousand 545 houses in Kahramanmaraş, 8 thousand 18 in Hatay, 3 thousand 323 in Osmaniye, 20 thousand 605 in Malatya, 17 thousand 261 in Şanlıurfa, 20 thousand 912 in Diyarbakır, 27 thousand 947 in Gaziantep, 7 thousand 65 in Adıyaman, 21 thousand 154 in Adana and 1929 in Kilis, in total 133 thousand 759 residences so far.
 
It was determined that there was no destruction in the buildings constructed by TOKİ in 10 provinces affected by the earthquakes epicenter in Kahramanmaraş, and that no structural damage occurred in any of the TOKİ houses. 
 

How are TOKİ houses built? 

 
In the constructions commissioned by TOKİ, first of all, on-site ground survey report is issued. In line with the data obtained from the report, project design studies are carried out in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, especially the Earthquake Regulation. The productions are carried out in accordance with the construction techniques in line with these projects. 
 
TOKİ, with the solutions against earthquakes such as "raft foundation", "tunnel formwork carrier system", "high concrete strength" applied in buildings, minimizes the quakes that could occur in the building and thus the damage.
