İZCİ LİDERLERİNİN AFET VE ARAMA KURTARMA EĞİTİMLERİNDEKİ ROLÜ: BİR DOKÜMAN İNCELEMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma, izci liderlerinin afet ve arama kurtarma eğitimlerindeki mevcut rolünü kapsamlı bir doküman incelemesi aracılığıyla ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Nitel araştırma desenine sahip olan bu çalışmada, Türkiye İzcilik Federasyonu, Dünya İzci Hareketi Örgütü (WOSM) gibi ulusal ve uluslararası izcilik kuruluşlarının yanı sıra Afet ve Acil Durum Yönetimi Başkanlığı (AFAD) gibi ilgili kurumların yönergeleri, eğitim materyalleri, raporları ve konuya ilişkin akademik yayınlar sistematik olarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, afet bilincinin liderlik eğitimlerine farklı düzeylerde entegre edildiğini, ancak arama kurtarma eğitimlerinin çoğunlukla temel yaşam kurtarma ve acil durum müdahalesi ile sınırlı kaldığını göstermektedir. İzci liderlerinin eğitimci, rol model, ilk müdahale edici ve topluma hizmet sunucu gibi çok boyutlu rollere sahip olduğu, mevcut eğitim materyallerinin çeşitliliğinin arttığı ancak standardizasyon, pratik uygulama, psikososyal destek ve sürekli eğitim alanlarında önemli gelişim alanları bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, izci liderlerinin afet ve arama kurtarma kapasitelerinin güçlendirilmesine yönelik somut öneriler sunarak, toplumsal afet dirençliliğinin artırılmasına ve ilgili literatüre önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır.

THE ROLE OF SCOUT LEADERS IN DISASTER AND SEARCH AND RESCUE TRAINING: A DOCUMENT REVIEW

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the current role of scout leaders in disaster and search and rescue training through comprehensive document analysis. Using a qualitative research approach, the study systematically examined guidelines, training materials, reports, and academic publications from national and international scouting organizations such as the Turkish Scouting Federation and the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), as well as from relevant institutions including the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD). The findings show that disaster awareness has been incorporated into leadership training at various levels, while search and rescue training remains mostly focused on basic life-saving and emergency response skills. Scout leaders are found to have multiple roles as educators, role models, first responders, and community service providers. It was also found that, despite the expanding variety of training materials, there are still significant gaps in standardization, practical application, psychosocial support, and ongoing training. This study offers specific recommendations to strengthen the disaster and search and rescue capabilities of scout leaders, thereby contributing to improved community disaster resilience and adding valuable insights to the related literature.
