Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to establish strategies that support local economic development after the earthquake and to determine the common themes of these strategies that can be applied in all regions. In line with this goal, it is aimed to develop a model that will support economic and social development again and locally after the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023, and affected 11 provinces. In this context, being Hatay/Defne, Kahramanmaraş/Elbistan, Adıyaman/Gölbaşı and Osmaniye/Kadirli, which are at the second level in the Socioeconomic Development Ranking Research of Districts (SEGE) classification developed by the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and which are considered to have high economic and social impact potential in their provinces. Analysis was carried out for four districts. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with important information sources such as local administrators, district residents, chambers of commerce, İŞKUR, union representatives, industry representatives and local business representatives in these districts. Content analysis of the obtained data was done with the help of Maxqda Analytics Pro 2022 qualitative data analysis program. According to this, the data obtained as a result of the semi-structured interview were analyzed by creating 228 subcodes under 4 themes. These themes are named as “Investment and Regulations”, “Economic Development”, “Assess the Region” and “Workforce”. It is thought that the creation of an economic development model that will support the current efforts in the earthquake region will contribute to both the literature and the potential to mitigate the consequences of similar disasters in the future.
