Lifesaving open areas after earthquake and land management

Abstract

Humans depend on the resources of nature since their existence. As human populations and technology advance, humans' impact on critical natural resources and natural areas, ecosystems, and atmospheric processes has grown. As society developed and urban life grew, people began to separate themselves from nature. Environmental disasters, most of which are natural disasters, have reminded people that they should use and manage natural areas and resources correctly. It is a constant need and responsibility for people and society to manage their relations with the environment. In the study, evaluations were made about the land use planning and land management of open spaces, which undertake many functions after earthquake disasters that cause devastating environmental, human and economic damages.
