Governing Quakerty in a Post-Disaster Türkiye

Project description

Property governance post-quake: Antakya’s dilemma

In the wake of earthquakes, communities face numerous challenges, particularly concerning property governance. Displaced individuals grapple with their losses, while authorities navigate complex legal and institutional frameworks. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the QUAKERTY project will focus on Antakya, Turkey, which has been recently devastated by earthquakes. The project explores governmental, communal, and individual strategies in the post-disaster context. It analyses property dynamics, from loss to re-entitlement, in collapsed and reconstructed urban landscapes. Investigating property circulation, legal frameworks, and individual experiences, the project aims to refine post-disaster property governance. By understanding processes of loss, recycling, and re-entitlement, QUAKERTY seeks to aid inclusive and resilient property recovery efforts in quake-affected regions.

Objective

This academic research, entitled 'Governing Quakerty', focuses on the intersection of 'quake' and 'property', and sheds light on property governance in a post-disaster context, particularly in and around the recently quake-affected area of Antakya, in Türkiye, where the research is focused. The central research question is: How does property governance unfold in the earthquake-affected city, and what are the governmental, communal, and individual strategies implemented to deal with land and property loss, appropriation, and the ensuing processes of re-entitlement during the reconstruction period? The research examines the dynamics of disaster property in a post-quake context, encompassing both the collapse (the process of alienation) and reconstruction (the process of re-entitlement) phases, by investigating (a) the disposal, recycling and governance of earthquake-damaged property and personal belongings within collapsed or damaged buildings; (b) the process of post-disaster property claims and strategies for re-entitlement and ownership during relief and reconstruction efforts. By examining the circulation of property along the processes of loss, recycling, reconstruction and re-entitlement in the context of a destroyed urban landscape, in conjunction with legal and institutional contexts and policies, as well as the strategies and experiences of affected individuals, this scholarly investigation will make a critical contribution to the development of an effective approach to property governance in quake-affected areas, thereby assisting resilient and inclusive post-disaster property recovery efforts.
