摘要：The desire to grow and develop at a fast pace without regard for scientific conditions is an obsession,particularly of developing countries like Turkey. However, any development achieved in ignorance of thescientific process and sustainability leads to higher costs as well as serious losses in terms of human and otherlife.Our area of study is one of the best examples of the negative effects of this type of development. The areaunder study covers the landslide sites located on the southwest of Istanbul (the Büyükçekmece, Beylikdüzü,Avcılar and Esenyurt districts) which is the largest city in Turkey. In this study, we tried to probe into the realestate development process of the landslide sites, the measures taken or failed to be taken in this process, thehumanitarian and economic conditions involved and the things required to be done.
