Önlenemeyen doğal afetlerden/tehlikelerden sayılan deprem, yerkabuğundaki kırılmalardan dolayı ortaya çıkan titreşimlerin dalgalar halinde yayıldıkları ortamları sarsan hareketlerdir. Deprem kuşağında yer alan Türkiye’de depremler kaçınılmaz bir gerçeklik olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Günümüze kadar Türkiye’de birçok deprem yaşanmış ve yaşanmaya devam edecektir. Son zamanlarda yaşanan depremler arasında 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde yaşanan Kahramanmaraş’ta 7.7 (Pazarcık merkezli) ve 7.6 (Elbistan merkezli) şiddetindeki depremler gelmektedir. Pazarcık merkezli bu depremden merkez üs ve çevresinde yer alan 11 il (Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Adıyaman, Osmaniye, Gaziantep, Şanlıurfa, Malatya, Diyarbakır, Adana, Kilis ve Elâzığ) çok etkilenmiştir. Yüksek şiddetli olan bu deprem, buralardaki birçok yerleşimi ve yapıyı çok etkilemiştir. Çalışma kapsamına bu depremlerden çok etkilenen yerleşim yerlerinden biri olan Adıyaman’ın Gölbaşı ilçesi alınmıştır. Gölbaşı’na 26 Nisan 2023 tarihinde (depremden 79 gün sonra) MAÜ Mühendislik-Mimarlık Fakültesi Mimarlık Bölüm hocaları, MYO İnşaat Teknolojisi hocası (İnş Müh.) ve öğrencilerle gidilip yerinde gözlemler ve incelemeler yapılmıştır. Gözlem ve inceleme yapılan yerler Gölbaşı Merkeze bağlı Fatih ve Yeni mahallelerdir. Araştırmanın temel amacı, bu hasarların nedenlerini anlamak ve deprem-mimarlık ilişkisini irdelemektir. Yapılan gözlemler, birçok yapının zemin sıvılaşması nedeniyle hasar gördüğünü, bunun yanı sıra yapısal hasarların da önemli boyutlarda olduğunu göstermiştir. Literatür taraması, mimarlık ve deprem ilişkisi üzerine yeterli çalışma yapılmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu durum, deprem sonrası yapı tasarımı ve inşaat süreçlerinin yeniden gözden geçirilmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, gelecekteki depremlere karşı daha dirençli yapılar inşa edilmesi için mimari yaklaşımların geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayabilir. Sonuç olarak, bu tür araştırmalar, deprem sonrası hasar tespitinin yanı sıra, yapısal tasarımın iyileştirilmesi adına önemli veriler sunmaktadır. Türkiye gibi deprem kuşağında yer alan ülkelerde, mimarlık ve mühendislik disiplinlerinin birlikte çalışarak daha güvenli bir yaşam alanı yaratma çabası büyük önem taşımaktadır.

This study investigates the structural behavior of the historical bridge located in the “Yukhari Bash” National Architectural Reserve Zone in Sheki, Azerbaijan, using finite element analysis (FEA) before and after its restoration. The primary objective is to evaluate the performance of the bridge under self-weight and seismic loads, following the standards of the Turkish Building Earthquake Code. The bridge, constructed primarily with limestone masonry, was analyzed using SAP2000 software. The results indicate that the structural integrity under compressive and shear stresses remained within acceptable limits both before and after restoration. However, post-restoration improvements in stress distribution and deformation were evident. This paper contributes to the preservation of historic structures through modern engineering analysis and provides insights into the appropriate restoration practices for masonry arch bridges.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine and evaluate the urban development activities, planning, implementations, and architectural formations in Mardin as published in the Mardin Haber newspaper between 2018 and 2023. Additionally, it seeks to identify the sustainability of architecture through written media. Theoretical Framework: Architectural activities in cities are influenced by factors such as human elements and topographical conditions. Local written press plays an important role in the transmission of these formations to future generations. In this study, the theoretical framework has been shaped within this context. Method: For this study, Mardin Haber, one of the local newspapers in Mardin, has been selected. The reason for choosing this newspaper is that it has been published continuously between 2018 and 2023, and full access to its archives has been provided. The study was conducted using a mixed research method. Printed newspaper archives from 2018 to 2023 were scanned and recorded as numerical data, and tables were created. Research Results: Within the scope of the study, the newspaper archives published between 2018 and 2023 were examined, and topics related to Mardin’s architecture were identified. News articles about urban development, planning, implementation, and urban space, as well as those about urbanization, were analyzed and presented as numerical data. Conclusion: Among the news related to urban development, conservation, planning, and implementation, it was observed that there were more articles about "conservation" than the others. Originality/Value: The place of Mardin city's architecture in the written press has been contributed to the literature.

Quality assurance in architecture departments in Turkey is provided through the accreditation system run by the Architecture Accreditation Board (MİAK). This study comprehensively examines the process of establishing quality assurance in architecture education at the Department of Architecture at Mardin Artuklu University, focusing on preparatory work towards the accreditation standards set by MİAK. The research discusses how the department's regional, cultural, and multilingual structure is reflected in the education programme and how this unique context is aligned with accreditation requirements. The findings show that accreditation is not only a mechanism for improving educational quality, but also a strategic tool that enhances the visibility and recognition of regional universities at national and international levels. In this context, the study aims to contribute to the rethinking of regional architecture education models in Turkey within the framework of quality assurance. The study reveals the transformative effects of preparing for the accreditation process on institutional learning, programme development, and stakeholder participation. It also emphasises that the relationship between the local context and universal quality standards plays a decisive role in developing sustainable and context-sensitive quality assurance approaches for regional universities.
