Abstract
Türkiye is frequently exposed to earthquakes due to its location in one of the most active earthquake zones in the world. Following the recent earthquakes in the southeastern part of the country, the need to quickly recover from the losses in the local and regional economies of the affected areas makes it extremely important to analyze economic structure to ensure a planned economic development. In view of this, this study aims to investigate the key economic sectors that should be prioritized for investment in the reconstruction process of these places for an effective and efficient economic recovery. In doing so, a static explicit Input-Output (I-O) Model based on Leontief's work is adopted. The key sectors that require investment priority for the recovery and development of local economies in the shortest possible time have been identified using a categorical classification methodology based on the unbalanced growth model proposed by Hirschman.
