- Abstract
Turkey is located on the Alpine-Himalayan seismic belt, which is an important earthquake belt of the world. A lot of earthquakes have occurred in Anatolia in historical periods. In addition to this, civilization was established in them in Anatolia and dozens of them were destroyed. Turkey acts as a bridge connecting Europe and Asia, where civilizations intersect in this region. Düzce province is located in a region with high seismicity. The North Anatolian Fault system is dominant in this region. Düzce province is under the influence of the Düzce fault, which is a branch of the NAFZ system. It has been exposed to many earthquakes in historical periods. Recently, two major destructive earthquakes have been shaken on 17 August 1999 and 12 November 1999. There are multiple structures and traces from the Roman period in Konuralp district. The most important of these is the historical ancient Aqueducts. The wreckage of aqueducts still stands witness to history. It is estimated that these arches were damaged in historical earthquakes. Aqueducts still servise outside the district for touristic purposes.
