Eski Gediz Kasabası, Gediz ilçe merkezine baglı bir belde merkezidir. Bugüne kadar yöreyle ilgili detaylı bir cografî arastırma yapılmamıstır. Bu durum, arastırmamızın temel amacını olusturmaktadır. Arastırmada Eski Gediz kasabasının fizikî, beserî ve ekonomik cografya özellikleri ele alınarak, sehirsel fonksiyonları cografî bir bakıs açısıyla ortaya konulmaya çalısılmıstır. Ayrıca kasabanın fonksiyonel sorunları da belirlenip, çözüm önerileri getirilmeye çalısılmıstır. Kasabanın özellikleri incelenirken genel eserlerin yanı sıra, çesitli periyodik kaynaklardan da yaralanılmıstır. Bunun yanında, yerinde yapılan gözlemlerden de büyük ölçüde faydalanma yoluna gidilmistir. Yapılan arastırmalar sonucunda, yöredeki beserî ve ekonomik faaliyetleri iklimin olumlu, tektonik yapının ise olumsuz etkiledigi belirlenmistir. 28 Mart 1970 tarihindeki deprem felaketiyle kasaba tarihinin, yerlesim ve nüfus açısından tam anlamıyla degistigi gözlenmistir. Ekonomik fonksiyonların yeterince gelismedigi yörede, istihdam zorlukları nedeniyle son yıllarda belde dısına yönelik göçler yasanmaktadır. Yerlesim sahası dar bir vadi içerisinde yer aldıgı için yatay yönde fazla genisleyememektedir. Konutlardaki yatay yöndeki genisleme ancak vadinin kuzey ve güneyindeki, giris ve çıkıs noktalarına dogru olmaktadır. Yörenin deprem sahası üzerinde yer alması, konutların dikey yönde büyümesini de engellemistir. Eski Gediz’in ekonomisinde tarımın payı oldukça azdır. Nitekim aktif nüfusun çogu geçimini sanayi ve hizmet sektöründen saglamaktadır. Bu nedenle kasaba ve çevresinde sanayinin gelismesi tesvik edilmelidir. Ayrıca kasabanın tarihî dokusu korunarak turizme Eski Gediz is a small-town centre located near the town of Gediz. No comprehensive geographical research of the region has been carried out so far, which forms the main objective of our research. In the research, physical, economic and human aspects of geography relating to Eski Gediz were taken into consideration, in an attempt to manifest its functions as a town from a geographical point of view. In addition, functional matters of the town were determined and suggestions of solution were proposed. When the features of the town being studied, in addition to general works, various periodicals were utilized as well. Moreover, observations made in person were largely made good use of. As a result of the surveys carried out, it was determined that human and economic activities in the region had been positively affected by the climate, but negatively by the tectonic structure. It was observed that the history of the town had totally changed in terms of settlement and population, due to the disastrous earthquake of March 28, 1970. In the economically underdeveloped region, emigrations have been noticed in recent years, due to difficulties in employment. The settlement area cannot expand horizontally much owing to the fact that it is situated in a narrow valley. Dwellings are located on the both entrance and exit points in the north and the south of the valley. The fact that the region is placed upon the earthquake zone has prevented the houses from expanding vertically. Agriculture has a very small part in the economy of Eski Gediz. As a matter of fact, most of the active population earns their living from the industrial and service sector. Therefore, necessary measures should be taken to ensure the growth of industry in the town and its vicinity. Furthermore, the town should promote tourism by preserving the historical texture.
