Abstract
This document is the output of the desk study and field studies conducted to understand the impact of the February 6 earthquakes on medium and small-scale businesses, the current situation and needs, in 5 provinces affected by the earthquake (Gaziantep, Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Adıyaman, Malatya). This study aims to present a holistic picture that reveals the prospects for recovery by evaluating the current situation of the businesses alongside a comparison before the earthquake and after the earthquake. Some data concerning the impact of the earthquake do not encompass Gaziantep province due to the localized destruction primarily confined to Islahiye and Nurdağı districts within the region. However, findings from field study conducted in Gaziantep were integrated into the broader analysis concerning the regional effects of the earthquake, regarding supply chains and labour markets in particular. The report basically addresses the pre-earthquake situation of businesses, the difficulties they encountered after the earthquake, and their future expectations.
