AK Parti Election Manifesto

The election manifesto put forth by the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party for the Presidential and 28th Term General Elections, which will be held on May 14th, was shared with the public. The first section of the manifesto, which consists of 481 pages and 6 parts, was titled "Risk and Crisis Management against Disasters." In this context, the manifesto emphasized the importance of building a resilient society and resilient cities, stating that the "Turkish Century" will be the century of resilient societies and cities against disasters. The manifesto emphasized the importance of conducting good risk analysis before disasters occur, identifying and implementing risk-reducing measures in all types of disasters, and mitigating the potential effects of disasters. During the intervention phase of disasters, the manifesto stated that the main priority is to implement measures that prevent loss of life quickly, in a strong coordination with professional and equipped teams, without leaving any citizen behind. After the quake disaster, the main priority is to quickly create permanent housing opportunities in rural and urban areas using correct construction techniques on solid grounds and in a planned manner, eliminating infrastructure damage, normalizing social and economic conditions, and healing wounds as soon as possible. The manifesto highlighted that our goal in combating all types of disasters, especially earthquakes, is to create a financially, institutionally, physically, and socially resilient country and society against disasters by completing the transformation in disaster management that we initiated under the coordination of AFAD. Our basic vision is to design the risk reduction, preparation, intervention, and reconstruction stages of disasters as part of the development process, minimize the losses that disasters may cause by creating disaster-resistant and safe settlements and infrastructure in this direction, and increase social awareness accordingly. In the Turkish Century, we aim to reach a society model with high disaster awareness, where disasters are prevented, and a resilient city and society against disasters are established through unity, solidarity, and cooperation. Within this framework, we have come a long way to implement the Turkish National Risk Shield Model to ensure that our country has a comprehensive disaster preparedness and management system. The manifesto includes institutional reforms made to date in disaster and risk management and highlights that an integrated disaster management model, which includes all processes related to disasters, has been put into effect in partnership with public institutions and civil society organizations with the understanding of "resilient Türkiye." "BUILDINGS WILL BE BUILT ON STRONG FOUNDATIONS" The manifesto underlines that the Turkish National Risk Shield Model, which will be implemented to provide Türkiye with a comprehensive disaster preparedness and management system, will prepare Türkiye for all potential disasters it may face. The necessary precautions will be taken for the safety of citizens' lives and properties in case of possible disasters. The manifesto emphasizes that precautions against natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, and landslides will become a priority in every field. It is stated that a comprehensive risk management approach, including socio-economic, demographic, pandemic, and security problems that may arise after disasters, will be targeted before, during, and after disasters. The manifesto draws attention to the cities affected by the earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş and states that we will rebuild the cities affected by the earthquake with a comprehensive approach, including social facilities such as infrastructure, schools, mosques, hospitals, markets, parks, and sports fields, with an understanding of "respect for history and the past." We aim to complete the construction of 650 thousand houses significantly in one year. Settlements will be shifted from valleys to slopes, taking into account fault maps. We will construct our buildings on the most robust grounds using ground improvement, isolators, steel structures, and new technology with a tunnel formwork system. We will strengthen the Disaster Reconstruction Fund that we established with alternative resources. We will implement a comprehensive Economic Rehabilitation Program and Development Campaign in the earthquake region. "NEW OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE OFFERED TO SOCIETY" The earthquake-stricken region will establish an industrial and commercial corridor to revive the region's production, trade, and export potential, according to the manifesto, emphasizing that buildings will be constructed on solid grounds. In this context, a program will be implemented in coordination with the Ministry of Industry and Technology, the GAP (Southeastern Anatolia Project) and DAP (Eastern Anatolia Project) regional development administrations, and development agencies. The manifesto indicated that an action plan will be implemented to transform the provinces in the earthquake region into centers of attraction in agriculture, industry, and service sectors through this program. It was noted that a new incentive regulation would be made primarily in agriculture and industry sectors, as well as in areas that have regional competitive potential, and a rapid and effective investment initiative would be launched. The manifesto indicated that the sectors prioritized for each province would be identified, and a suitable planning would be implemented to increase high-value-added product production and production diversity. It was stated that "with steps to be taken in employment-intensive areas, led by the service sector, the population dynamics of the region will be supported, and new opportunities will be offered to society, especially to young people. The infrastructures of areas with high tourism potential, such as culture, gastronomy, and thermal, will be rapidly developed, and their promotion will be strengthened even more. We will develop a health tourism-oriented program in particular for the evaluation of geothermal resources, and prioritize greenhouse cultivation fueled by thermal sources. We will ensure that at least one of our universities in the region becomes a world-renowned brand, and the activities of other universities in our region will be supported within a special program. Major infrastructure projects, including logistics, which support investment, production, and exports, will be prioritized and realized, starting with the Hassa Tunnel. Additionally, economic infrastructures that are integrated with satellite cities created within the scope of permanent housing works will be developed. We will equip all living spaces with innovative approaches, including high technology and smart city applications."
