The Council of State’s Fourth Chamber dismissed, by majority, a challenge to Antakya’s post-earthquake risky-area designation. In the circumstances of the case, the majority accepted that Law No. 6306 may support a designation after a disaster and that later measures concerning undamaged buildings remain open to separate judicial review. The decision distinguishes the area designation from subsequent implementation measures.
