An Analysis of Quantitative and Qualitative Publications in the Architecture Field about 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake

Abstract

The earthquake on February 6, 2023, centered in Kahramanmaraş-Elbistan, caused significant loss of life and property in Kahramanmaraş and surrounding provinces. After this earthquake, which had a comprehensive impact, the articles published after the earthquake were analyzed, and focal points in the field of architecture were determined through research trends and content analysis of the articles. In this context, 50 articles in the literature were accessed from Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Dergipark databases with the time limitation of "February 2023-March 2024" and the keywords "Kahramanmaraş earthquake and buildings," "6 February 2023", "architecture," "heritage," "damage assessment". In the next stage, the focal points of the articles were revealed by performing quantitative word analysis in VOSviewer with the keywords obtained from the articles. Subsequently, the studies were categorized using text analysis in MAXQDA based on earthquake stage, building scale, building function, building structure, building components, and building materials. As a result, according to the quantitative analysis results, the majority of the articles were published between February and April 2023. According to the word analysis, the articles examined focused on "building damage assessment," "earthquake," "damage," "seismic hazard," "masonry structure," and "reinforced concrete." According to the results of the qualitative analysis, 94,2% of the articles focused on the post-disaster. The focussed scale was the structure scale, with 37,5%. Regarding function, 59,6% focussed on all building stock without discriminating against the building function. According to the building structure, reinforced concrete structures were focused at 49,2%. The wall component was analyzed with 35,4% in the building component category. Finally, according to the building material, concrete was the focus of the articles, with 41,2%. It is thought that the results obtained within the scope of the article will contribute to architecture and closely related fields for future research as a priority research topic
