Artvin Halkının Afet Risk Algısı

Abstract

Günümüzde afetlerin yol açtığı zararlar artmaya devam etmektedir. Afetlerin neden olduğu zararları azaltmaya yönelik çabalar arasında, afet risk algısı üzerine yapılan çalışmalar ön plana çıkmaktadır. Afet risk algısı çalışmalarına odaklanmak, toplumsal kırılganlığı azaltmada ve afet yönetimi süreçlerinde daha başarılı ilerleme sağlanmasında kilit bir rol oynamaktadır. Afet öncesi aşamada risk algısı üzerine yapılan çalışmalar, risk yönetimine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Risk yönetiminin başarısı, afet yönetimi döngüsünün etkinliğini etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Artvin ilinde yaşayan bireylerin afet risk algısını ölçmek ve değerlendirmek, böylece Artvin’deki afet yönetimi çalışmalarına katkı sağlamaktır. Çalışmanın verileri, Artvin merkezde yaşayan 18 yaş ve üzeri 412 bireyden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan bireyler gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak katılım sağlamışlardır. Veri analizi için SPSS 25 yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, kadın katılımcıların afet risk algısı, kırılganlık ve kaygı/korku düzeylerinin erkek katılımcılardan daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Afet risk algısı düzeylerinin, il düzeyinde yürütülen afet risk azaltma çalışmalarına katkı sağlayacağı göz ardı edilmemelidir. Afet risk algısı, bireylerin ve kurumların afet öncesinde aldığı tedbirleri belirleyen kritik bir faktör olmalıdır. Ölçülen afet risk algısı o bölgenin afet yönetim adımlarını desteklemelidir.

Disaster Risk Perception of the Artvin Population

Abstract

Currently, the damages caused by disasters continue to increase. Among the efforts to reduce the damages caused by disasters, studies on disaster risk perception stand out. Focusing on disaster risk perception plays a key role in reducing societal vulnerability and achieving more successful progress in disaster management processes. Studies on risk perception during the pre-disaster phase contribute to risk management. The success of risk management affects the effectiveness of the disaster management cycle. The aim of this study is to measure and evaluate the disaster risk perception of individuals living in Artvin province, thereby contributing to disaster management efforts in Artvin. The data of the study consist of 412 individuals aged 18 and above living in the central part of Artvin. The participants volunteered to take part in the study. SPSS 25 software was used for data analysis. According to the results of the study, it was found that female participants had higher levels of disaster risk perception, vulnerability, and anxiety/fear compared to male participants. The level of disaster risk perception should not be overlooked in terms of its contribution to disaster risk reduction efforts at the provincial level. Disaster risk perception should be a critical factor determining the measures taken by individuals and institutions before a disaster. The measured disaster risk perception should support the disaster management steps of the region.
