Construction in spotlight in Iran

Saturday's deadly earthquake highlights the primitive = building=20 methods in rural areas.

By BORZOU DARAGAHI

ABDAREH, Iran -- There is nothing left.=20

Assad Mohammad's childhood house and family were here, but all = that=20 remains is a mangled heap of split wood, twisted tin and mud = bricks. His=20 father, two sisters, a nephew, niece and other relatives were = crushed to=20 death in their homes when a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck this = village=20 in northwestern Iran early Saturday.=20

"Look at this," said the builder, who lives three hours away in = Tehran=20 but rushed here after hearing of the quake. "I don't know whose = house is=20 whose. I don't whose belongings are whose belongings. My father. = Oh, my=20 father."=20

Some 245 people were killed, and thousands were injured and = left=20 homeless in the disaster. Iran is among the world's most = seismically=20 active countries, and an aftershock struck Abdareh even as = Mohammad stood=20 weeping for his lost loved ones.=20

Although the earthquake didn't set records for magnitude or = casualties,=20 it highlighted the primitive state of construction in rural Iran. = State=20 television aired documentaries trumpeting official efforts to = upgrade=20 housing incapable of withstanding even the mildest of earthquakes. =

The walls of rural Iran's mud-brick homes, clustered tightly = together=20 in interlocking mazes, break during even minor earthquakes, = causing=20 ceilings to crush those inside. "The mud brick houses turn into = dust,"=20 said Morteza Shahbodaghi, a Red Crescent relief worker in the = area. "They=20 are neither sturdy nor allow for easy rescue."=20

Saturday is the first day of the work week in the Muslim world. = At 7:28=20 a.m., when the earthquake struck, nearly all the men were already = at work=20 picking grapes from the nearby vineyards. Nearly all the 30 killed = here=20 were women, children or the elderly.=20

Fatima Karimkhani said she was just getting up when she heard = rattling.=20 She immediately jumped toward the front door of her tiny home and = almost=20 made it outside when the door fell on her. She was trapped but = slowly=20 managed to claw her way out. "I am very lucky to be alive," she = said.=20

Ali-Ahmad Mohammadi, out in the vineyards, was thrown to the = ground by=20 the quake. He got up and was immediately knocked down by an even = larger=20 tremor lasting about 20 seconds. He got up again and ran to his = house.=20 Although his home was damaged, his family members escaped to = safety. Five=20 or six of his neighbors were killed.=20

His house, however, is in a relatively new section of the = village away=20 from the traditional, tightly knit core.=20

The cities near the earthquake's epicenter in the mountains = also=20 suffered extensive property damage, but very few fatalities. In = Avaj, a=20 tree-lined mostly Turkic-speaking city of 20,000 people, roofs = collapsed=20 and many homes were damaged. When the quake hit, terrified = residents ran=20 screaming out of their homes, with women ignoring the Islamic = Republic's=20 rules requiring them to dress modestly and cover their heads. Such = haste=20 yielded a reward: Only one person died.=20

Since the Islamic revolution in 1979, Iran has had an excellent = record=20 in bringing paved roads, utilities and public infrastructure to = rural=20 communities. But almost all the traditional mud-brick villages = remain.=20

For Mohammad, the Tehran builder, the loss of his family = ancestral home=20 and village was especially bitter. Inspired by his new skills, he = came=20 back here 10 years ago with plans he had drawn up to rebuild the = town to=20 withstand earthquakes. He showed them to his father and other = village=20 patriarchs. They smiled and nodded and assured him they would = rebuild=20 insha-allah, if God willed it.=20
