The number of people killed and injured in earthquakes depends on many variables but within a particular rural region with unchanging building technology it is primarily related to the number of buildings which totally collapse D5 . Estimates of numbers of people killed and injured can be derived using an empirical relationship derived from past experience in the area as discussed in Section . One of the most important uses of loss estimates of this sort is that they can be used to assess the impact of a building improvement programme of upgrading the traditional houses and to compare the effectiveness of different levels of technology in upgrading if the relative vulnerabilities are known or can be estimated. Figure shows the impact over 25 years in the expected numbers of deaths and houses destroyed in eastern Turkey if different levels of strengthening corresponding to some of those shown in Figure were generally introduced. Data of this sort can be used in a cost-benefit or cost-effectiveness evaluation of alternative possible government intervention programmes. This is discussed in Chapter 10.
