In this project, the experiences of the earthquake issue, which came to the agenda after the devastating earthquakes that took place on 6 February 2023 in Hatay and its surroundings, will be presented in terms of society, memory, memory and cultural heritage from antiquity to the present day through the ancient city of Issos-Epiphaneia, and studies will be carried out on the lessons that can be learned after the earthquake. In the ancient city of Issos-Epiphaneia, located in the Erzin district of Hatay, it is planned to carry out a multi-disciplinary research to determine the earthquake findings on the ancient settlement, which is predicted to provide data that will shed light on the earthquake history of the region, as well as the restoration of the damages caused in the ancient city after the 6 February earthquake, and the measures to be taken for the protection of the buildings against earthquakes. In the research, which will examine the structures unearthed as a result of the excavations carried out in Issos- Epiphaneia, it is aimed to document the wall destruction and collapse patterns, taking into account the construction and architectural features of the building community. The restoration and conservation of earthquake-damaged buildings will be carried out. The archaeological findings collected from the field studies will be blended with the data produced by archaeology, ancient history and epigraphy, and will be evaluated together with the findings of the geological surveys to be carried out within the scope of the excavations carried out in the region. The results of the research will provide new insights into the effects of natural disasters on the living culture of the region from the ancient period to the present day, as well as new findings in earthquake history research. In addition to the ancient earthquake research, an earthquake-resistant ancient city planning will be prepared for the future planning of the archaeological site.
