Sürdürülebilirlik Açısından Afet ile Mücadele Politikaları: Louisiana Eyalet Mevzuatı

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Lousiana Eyaleti, kıyı eyaleti olarak tarih boyunca birçok su baskını, tayfun ve kasırga gibi afetlerle karşılaşmıştır. Eyalette ciddi yıkım ve ölüme yol açan bu afetler aynı zamanda büyük ekonomik zararlar da vermiştir. Afetler sonrası sürdürülebilir politikaların geliştirilmesi ve takibi afetlerin yıkıcı etkilerinden kurtulmak için önem kazanmıştır. Çalışmada, Louisiana Eyalet Meclisi tarafından çıkarılan kanunlar “sürdürülebilirlik” kavramı çerçevesinde taranarak kanunların içerik analizi yapılacaktır. Bunun için, Lousiana eyalet mevzuatı web sitesindeki (Louisiana State Legislature) arama sayfası kullanılacaktır. Kavram, aynı zamanda afet sonrası iyileştirme politikaları açısından da incelenecektir. Bunun için kanunlarda yer alan sürdürülebilirlik kavramı afet, kasırga, tayfun, deprem, sel, konut, çevre, iklim gibi farklı kavramlarla birlikte değerlendirilecektir. Geri dönen sonuçlar tarih sırasına göre listelenerek kanun içerikleri çalışma metnine aktarılacaktır. Çalışma ile Lousiana Eyaleti yasalarında sürdürülebilirlik kavramının ne şekilde ve hangi içeriklerle yer aldığının belirlenmesi hedeflenmektedir.

DISASTER RECOVERY POLICIES IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABILITY: LOUISIANA STATE LEGISLATURE

As a coastal state of Louisiana in United States, is a verge of many environmental disasters such as floods, typhoons and hurricanes throughout its history. These disasters, had the potential to cause property damage, personal injury and even death. They also caused great economic damage. The development and follow-up of sustainable policies after disasters has gained importance in order to recover after the devastating effects of disasters. In this study, the laws enacted by the Louisiana State will be examined within the framework of the concept of "sustainability" and the laws have been analyzed. The search page on the Louisiana State Legislature website will be used. The concept will also be examined in terms of post-disaster recovery policies. For this, the concept of sustainability in the laws will be evaluated together such as disaster, hurricane, typhoon, earthquake, flood, housing, environment and climate. The contents of the returned results of laws will be included to the working text. This study aims to determine the content of sustainability concept and in what ways it is involed in the Louisiana State Legislature.
