Earthquake is our biggest fear. Why are we so afraid of a natural disaster that affects the living for a long time, that takes place in our psychology for a long time and even creates the collective unconscious?
There are experiences, yes, even if we live once, the awareness of how serious a disaster is, settles in our subconscious with fear. Fear should actually come with prevention. For example, we act very quickly and cautiously when buying something over the stove. Natural reflexes protect us from many possible accidents, together with our lifelong experiences.
After natural disasters, social reflexes develop, and radical decisions are started to be made after the social conscience is instantly calmed by finding one or two victims who will burden the plague during the healing process of the wounds. For example, areas with 10 floors of zoning are reduced to 3 floors, open exits are prohibited, and building inspection firms are established to ensure better inspection of buildings. Municipalities TAKS, KAKS etc. begin to give importance to static projects rather than architectural controls in zoning legislation. The architect sends the column-free draft to the civil engineer, and after the civil engineer places the columns in the draft, he sends it to the architect and asks him to make the necessary revisions, and the draft is completed. If that wasn't enough, the owner would have requested an increase in the size of the columns and an increase in the number of columns. Yes, the process was just like that. The stud beam became a thing of the past in this process.
