Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Covid-19 salgını gibi beklenmedik bir durumda, durumun anlaşılma derecesinin ve bunun inşaat sektörü ve uygulayıcıları üzerindeki sosyal ve ekonomik etkisinin nasıl tanımlanıp ortaya çıkarılabileceğini göstermektir. Bu nedenle, sektörü ve profesyonellerini bir sonraki olağanüstü duruma hazırlamak için uygulayıcılara öngörü sağlamaktır. Kamu veya özel sektörde çalışan inşaat mühendislerine anket çalışması hazırlanarak bizzat ve İnşaat Mühendisleri Odası aracılığı ile ulaştırılmakta ve ardından karşılaştırmalı bir analiz yapılmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçları, inşaat mühendislerinin Covid-19'a karşı önlem kurallarına uyduğunu, zorunlu olmadıkça evde kaldıklarını, koronavirüs pandemisinden sonra küresel, ulusal ve aile ekonomileri konusunda son derece endişelendiklerini ve inşaat mühendislerinin büyük çoğunluğunun bir şekilde pandemi sırasında çalışmaya devam ettiklerini ve özel sektör şirketlerinin sadece çok küçük bir kısmının iflas ettiğini göstermektedir.

Abstract

The goal of this study is, in an unexpected exceptional situation such as Covid-19 outbreak, to demonstrate how the extent of understanding of the situation and its social and economic impact on the construction sector and on its practitioners can be defined and exposed. Hence, to provide insights to the practitioners to prepare the sector and its professionals for the next extraordinary situation. A questionnaire survey is prepared and delivered personally and via the Chamber of Civil Engineers to the civil engineers who work for public or private sectors, and then a comparative analysis is carried out. The exploratory results of the study show that the civil engineers follow precaution rules against Covid-19, they stay home unless compulsory matters, they are highly concerned about global, national and family economies after coronavirus pandemic and, while the majority of the civil engineers somehow continue working during the pandemic, only a very small portion of the private sector companies bankrupt.
