Summary

This study explores the personal experiences of people who lived through the Kahramanmaraş earthquake. Through open-ended questions, researchers aim to understand how survivors' lives changed, what helped them cope, and what made returning to normal routines easier or harder. The findings could offer valuable insights for supporting communities affected by future disasters.
