Earthquake is the most important cause of death from natural disasters in Iran. This paper brings attention to the main causes of loss of life due to the Kermanshah province earthquake (Nov 12 2017), and provides a wakeup call about the unsafe nature of buildings there.
This study is based on official reports review and a field assessment in the areas affected by the earthquake in western Iran.
Although buildings in this area are mainly old structures, strangely, more than 70% of the destroyed buildings in this earthquake were under 5 years of age, newly built or renovated buildings according to mandated building codes.
Mandated building codes and construction rules and regulations are not respected even for the newly constructed or reconstructed structures buildings.
地震是伊朗自然灾害致死的最重要原因。本文关注了克尔曼沙阿省地震（2017年11月12日）导致生命损失的主要原因，并就当地建筑的不安全性质敲响了警钟。
本研究基于官方报告审查以及对伊朗西部地震受灾地区的实地评估。
尽管该地区建筑主要是旧建筑，但奇怪的是，此次地震中超过70%的受损建筑是5年以下的新建或翻新建筑，这些建筑是按照规定的建筑规范建造的。
即使是新建或重建的建筑，规定的建筑规范和施工规章制度也未得到遵守。
