The economic aspect of the transaction, which is intended to be made outside the zoning and planning criteria, should also be taken into consideration when making conversion decisions.

In this study, a region in Turkey which is declared as risky area under the Law no 6306: The transformation of areas at risk of disaster is discussed. The urban transformation costs in the area of 4.6 hectares with a population of 1430 people are tried to be calculated in the light of the data obtained from the feasibility reports made in the region.
