A lot of less developed countries are located along the earthquake belts. Less developed countries may not be able to afford technology such as designing new infrastructure and strengthening existing infrastructure because a large proportion of their funds go inti the development of their industrial and economic activities. For example, the Kobe earthquake in Japan killed 5000. However, an earthquake of a slightly smaller intensity in Turkey in 1999 killed 17 000 people.
