THE EFFECT OF EARTHQUAKE KNOWLEDGE AND RISK PERCEPTION ON SOCIAL SUSTAINABLE EARTHQUAKE AWARENESS

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between participants' earthquake risk perception and knowledge level and sustainable earthquake awareness in terms of various variables. The study is descriptive cross-sectional research. 559 volunteer individuals participated in the study. Relationships between quantitative variables were determined with Pearson correlation analysis. Our research found that there is a significant difference between gender and earthquake risk perception. It has been determined that my disaster experience has an impact on the level of earthquake knowledge. Women were found to have lower earthquake knowledge scores than men. Women were found to have higher earthquake risk perception scores than men. Single people had higher cognitive earthquake risk perception scores than married people. It was found that the earthquake risk perception scores of the disaster survivors were higher than those of the non-survivors. More comprehensive studies may be needed to understand the interaction of factors such as gender, marital status, and disaster experience on earthquake knowledge level and risk perception. These studies can contribute to the development of more effective education and awareness strategies for the general earthquake preparedness of society.

DEPREM BİLGİSİ VE RİSK ALGISININ TOPLUMSAL SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR DEPREM FARKINDALIĞINA ETKİSİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, katılımcıların deprem risk algısı ve bilgi düzeyi ile sürdürülebilir deprem bilinci arasındaki ilişkiyi çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemektir. Çalışma tanımlayıcı kesitsel bir araştırmadır. Çalışmaya 559 gönüllü birey katılmıştır. Nicel değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler Pearson korelasyon analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırmamızda cinsiyet ile deprem risk algısı arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu bulunmuştur. Afet deneyimimin deprem bilgi düzeyi üzerinde etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kadınların deprem bilgi puanları erkeklere göre daha düşük bulunmuştur. Kadınların deprem risk algısı puanları erkeklere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Bekârların bilişsel deprem risk algısı puanları evlilere göre daha yüksektir. Afetzedelerin deprem risk algısı puanlarının afetzede olmayanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Cinsiyet, medeni durum ve afet deneyimi gibi faktörlerin deprem bilgi düzeyi ve risk algısı üzerindeki etkileşimini anlamak için daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulabilir. Bu çalışmalar, toplumun genel olarak depreme hazırlıklı olması için daha etkili eğitim ve farkındalık stratejilerinin geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunabilir.
