Introduction to the Dutch-Turkish case studies. Figure 5.5 Location of Dutch-Turkish municipal partnerships A. Amsterdam-Kocaeli General policy Cooperation between Amsterdam and Kocaeli started in 1999, after the devastating earthquake on 17 August 1999. The city of Kocaeli, also known as Izmit, is situated at the Gulf of Izmit at the Marmara Sea, approximately 150 km east of Istanbul. In total, nearly 18,000 people died and many more were injured.

Despite this connection there are no specific exchange projects that particularly focus on integration and social cohesion. Main activities and actors The fire department of Amsterdam-Amstelland assisted in the tendering of large equipment in Kocaeli,105 and trained their colleagues in operating the new equipment. The first phase of the knowledge exchange took place under the LOGO East programme, supported by VNG International.
