Against the background of recent events, talk about seismically dangerous/safe regions of Turkey does not cease. Let's analyze the situation in detail.
Turkey is not the only country located at the junction of lithospheric plates. These countries have a list of seismically dangerous regions. The administrations of such districts, with the assistance of the Emergency Management Agency in Turkey (AFAD), regularly inform the population about the rules of conduct in critical situations, conduct training in schools and other institutions, as well as take a number of other preventive measures.
For those who are just planning to live in the country, it will not be superfluous to familiarize themselves with the seismic zoning map of the country, on which all areas are marked according to the degree of risk of an earthquake.
On the map, the safest areas are marked in beige, and the riskiest ones are marked in red. It is obvious that Antalya, Alanya and Mersin are the regions least prone to earthquakes.
When buying real estate in regions with an increased risk of earthquakes, you need to be especially careful in terms of choosing housing. It must comply with all the requirements and standards set by the country's supervisory authorities.
