Abstract

Earthquakes result in major harm to physical environments, human activities and economic efforts. The 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake, which is considered as the disaster of the century and occurred on 6 February, caused interruptions in the social as well as cultural, educational and financial activities on a local, regional and domestic scale. Touristic spaces and elements including historical and cultural assets were also damaged and destroyed. The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of earthquakes on touristic spaces. The population consisted of the districts of Dulkadiroğlu and Onikişubat in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye. Field studies and observations were performed in these areas to reveal the post-earthquake situation at the tourism destinations which were also photographed. Historical and cultural assets with touristic value were found in the city, and the impact of the earthquake on these assets was demonstrated. Mosques, shrines, fountains, mansions, museums and historical bazaars constituted the assets in this study, and most of these assets were found to have been damaged during the earthquake which rendered them useless. Determining the physical and financial losses suffered by these historical and cultural assets and compensating them is critical for the future of tourism in Kahramanmaraş.

Özet

Depremler; fiziki ortamlarda, beşeri faaliyetlerde ve ekonomik anlamda büyük ölçüde zararlara yol açmaktadır. Asrın felaketi olarak nitelendirilen 6 Şubat depremleri sosyal, kültürel, eğitim ve ekonomik anlamda yerel, bölgesel ve ülke genelinde aksaklıkların yaşanmasına sebep olmuştur. Aynı zamanda turizm mekanlarında hasarlara ve yıkımlara yol açmış, tarihi ve kültürel değerler zarar görmüştür. Araştırmada amaç; depremlerin turizm mekanlarına etkisini ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırma evrenini Kahramanmaraş Şehri’nin Dulkadiroğlu ve Onikişubat ilçeleri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada, depremden sonra turizm noktalarında meydana gelen durumu ortaya koymak adına arazi çalışmaları ve gözlemleri yapılmış, turizm noktaları fotograflanmıştır. Şehirde il kültür envanteri verilerinden ve arazi gözlemlerinden yararlanılarak tarihi ve kültürel turizm değerleri belirlenmiş ve bu noktaların depremlerden etkilenme durumları ortaya konulmuştur. Camiler, türbeler, çeşmeler, konaklar, müzeler ve tarihi çarşılar araştırmadaki değerleri oluşturmaktadır ve bu değerlerin büyük kısmının depremlerde hasar aldığı ve kullanılamaz durumda olduğu belirlenmiştir. Depremden zarar gören bu tarihi ve kültürel turizm değerlerinin zararlarının tespit edilmesi ve giderilmesi şehirde turizmin geleceği adına önemlidir.
