Many earthquakes have occurred in Turkiye which is located in an active earthquake zone. A large number of casualties has been experienced in these earthquakes. After these natural disasters that left deep scars in the country, the reliability of existing building stock has been a subject of debate and has become one of the key matters that make up the agenda of the country. Investigations, researches and findings related to the existing building stock were published in various periods and aimed to increase the level of knowledge on the subject. As a result of the findings obtained from the studies, the severity of the current situation required many precautions to be taken. In this context, the necessity of determining how the structures will behave in a possible earthquake has emerged and this issue has been addressed for the first time in the Regulation on Buildings to be Built in Earthquake Zones (DBYBHY) published in 2007. Since DBYBHY takes both high cost and time to identify and evaluate risky buildings, the Law on Transformation of Areas under Disaster Risk with no 6306 was published in 2012 and the rules to be used during the determinations are determined in the annex of this law titled as Principles Regarding the Determination of Risky Structures. In this study, the actions to be done in risky building conversion processes are briefly mentioned and supports that citizens who want to carry out the process within the scope of the law can receive from the state are examined in detail. In addition, strengthening and re-building costs for the Saglam Apartment in Ankara, demolished within the scope of these laws and principles were compared.
