Disasters had great affects on the region and community that they occurred physically, socially, economically and psychologically. The community sometimes uses most of its capacity to overcome the situation and sustain their pre disaster daily life. The most important problem revealed after the emergency phase is especially to meet the shelter needs of the affected population. After 1999 Earthquakes in Turkey during the rehabilitation phase temporary houses were built for the victims in a short time to 1“2 year period basis which were planned by the central government. The time extended to 3 year and beyond because of the permanent housing site expropriation problems. At the end of the 2002 the home owners moved to their permanent houses. Even tough some of the temporary housing sites were demolished some is still in use. Most of the users of these houses were tenants and low income families. This situation clearly shows the lack of organization for the tenants and low income families after the earthquake. This study analyzes the role of the NGO's established after the earthquake in order to defend the rights of the tenants, low income families and disabled peoples tenure in Turkey.
