Abstract:

 

After the earthquakes stricken the province of Van, the authorities acted quickly  to provide permanent houses for the rural dwellers. Only a year after, the dwellers  delivered their new dwellings that were built by the state or the contractors.  Accordingly, this study focuses upon the dwellers and their perceptions for their  newly built environment, in the contexts of migration, livelihood, approaches for  reconstruction strategies and their post-occupancy evaluations. In parallel to the  qualitative research approach for the study, in total 12 interviews were conducted  in the villages of Topaktaş, Ozkaynak, Kozluca, Gedelova and Yalnızağaç. The  interviewees’ contributions to the study helped to uncover the different insights of  the reconstruction process as well as the post-earthquake socio-economical  conditions from their own perspectives and with their own words.
