The purpose of this study is to examine the type of the construction contract on the demolition of a risky building and the construction of a new one in its place in return for land share, as regulated by the Law No. 6306 on the Conversion of Disaster Relief Areas and the Implementing Regulations. The Construction Contract in return for land share, which is a special type of Work Contract, is a contract that is regulated by a notary and brings obligations to both parties. In the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties should be clearly and accurately expressed.
