Analysis Of Cultural Heritage Affected After Disasters In The Context Of New Design In Historical Environment: A Proposal For Habib-I Neccar Mosque Through World Examples

Abstract

Due to its location and geological characteristics, our country has been exposed to many natural disasters, especially earthquakes, in the past and today. These disasters have caused economic and environmental losses as well as damage to many historical and cultural heritage. Especially earthquakes pose a great threat to the transfer of historical buildings to future generations due to their great destructive effects.  As a result of the recent earthquake in our country, dated 6 February 2023 and centred in Kahramanmaraş, the historical environment and buildings in Antakya, where the damage of the earthquake was felt most severely, were severely damaged and deteriorated. Within the scope of this study, the post-earthquake condition of the Habibi Neccar Mosque in the historical city centre of Antakya, which was largely destroyed by the earthquake, was determined. What kind of interventions can be made in order to preserve the unique identity and historical context of cultural heritage and to transfer it to future generations has been investigated. In this context, examples of cultural heritage in different parts of the world that have suffered destruction and devastation after major disasters have been investigated, and post-disaster conservation and design practices have been examined.
