Abstract:

Thro history, epidemic diseases have been one of the events that have profoundly affected states and communities in all parts of the world. Infectious diseases that occur in a particular region have jumped into other regions for reasons such as trade, war and immigration and have caused major deaths. As the economic, political and cultural interaction between societies increased, the spread rate of epidemic has also increased. Denizli, one of the crossroads of the Inner West of Anadolu, has had a position settled by people in every period of history due to its location on productive lands, has always established a relationship with the civilizations that appear in Anadolu due to its geographical characteristics and has witnessed the domination struggles of Anadolu and the surrounding communities. Because the roads are located at the crossing point and their economic efficiency is high, it has been a settlement that has attracted the attention of people since the early periods of history. This study aims to provide information about the studies carried out in order to prevent the spread of these diseases, including epidemic diseases such as Ebola, Cholera, Tifos, Humma, which occur in Denizli, one of the important cities of Anatolia due to its geopolitical location.
