The problems of building inspection organizations and problems in building supervision system – Van case

With the increase in industrial activities in our country, the census conducted in 1985 revealed that for the first time the urban population exceeded the rural population. When the social and economic dimensions are left aside, this has led to the development of the construction sector in cities and a review of all building-related legislation. Also; in our country, in the period when the rural population is dense, the destructive effects of earthquake have not been felt as a result of the construction of the buildings in the village as there were single storey mud brick or masonry structures. However, as a result of the increase in the urban population and the need for high-rise buildings, the earthquake risk became important. This has led to the importance of building safety, technical implementation responsibility and scientific responsibility. Until 2001, as stated in the development law no. 3194, when the supervision of the buildings was being ensured with the concepts of technical responsibility, in the responsibilitiy of technical implementation in the structures outside the boundaries of the municipality and the boundaries of the municipality; in 2001, with the law on Building Inspection No. 4708, the building inspection obligation was imposed on buildings. In this thesis; surveys were conducted with technical staff working in building control organizations operating in Van province, with technical and administrative staff working in the institutions issuing license, technical and administrative staff working in construction materials laboratories and with building contractors, site supervisors, project authors and the personnel of the building supervision branch in the provincial organization of the ministry and solutions to the problems in the building control system were tried to be proposed.
