Abstract

Dünya nüfusu yaşlanırken bir sosyal politika aracı olarak yaşlı politikaları özel önem atfedilen konular arasında yerini almaktadır. Birleşmiş Milletler Teşkilatının İnsani Gelişme Raporları toplumda çocuklar ve engellilerin yansıra yaşlıların da afetlerde ve iklim değişikliği sonucu ortaya çıkan risklerden etkilenen en kırılgan gruplar olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Yaşlı bireyler kronik hastalıkları, fiziksel engelleri, işitme ve görme kayıpları nedeniyle, normal yaşamlarında özel ihtiyaçlarını karşılarken yardıma gereksinim duyabilmektedir. Afet-acil durumlarda örneğin sıcak ve soğuk hava koşulları ile salgın hastalık durumları kronik hastalığa sahip yaşlı bireylerin sağlık durumunu kötüleştirmekte, hayatlarını tehdit etmekte özel olarak korunması gereken nüfus kesimini oluşturmaktadırlar. Afet riskleri altında diğer bireylere göre daha savunmasız ve kırılgan olduklarından, acil durum ve afetlerde hazırlık, afetler sırasındaki müdahale ve afet sonrası yardım mekanizmalarında yaşlılar ülkemizde de özel olarak ele alınması gereken dezavantajlı gruplardan biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yaşlı bireylerin kronik hastalıkları ve fiziksel engelleri, genç bireyler göre yavaş hareket etmelerine neden olan kırılganlıkları (hassasiyetleri) nedeniyle özel durumları karşısında geliştirilen önlemler, uygulamalar ve sonuçlarının Dünya örnekleri ışığında incelenmesi ve ülkemiz için öneriler geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, Japonya’da ve Avrupa ülkelerinde belirli acil durum ve afetlerde yaşlı gruplara yönelik gerçekleştirilen hizmetler, alınan önlemler ve kurumsal yapı örnekleri incelenmektedir. Konuya yönelik ülkemizde yerel yönetimlerin, merkezi ve taşra teşkilatlarının yaşlı hizmetlerinin acil durum ve afetlerde yaşlı-duyarlı afet yönetimi planlama süreçlerinin geliştirilmesine yönelik öneriler sunulmaktadır. Sonuç olarak afet yönetimi ile uyumlu bir sosyal politika zemini her açıdan yerel afet müdahale kapasitesini ve toplumun afete dirençliliğini arttıracaktır.

Elderly People as a Group of Citizens with Special Requirements in Disasters

Abstract

While the world population gets older, the elderly policies as a social policy field are among the issues which are attributed special importance. The United Nations Organization's Human Development Reports emphasize that the elderly, children and disabled people in the society are the most vulnerable groups in the disasters and the risks arising from climate change. Elderly individuals may need help in meeting their specific needs in their normal lives due to chronic diseases, physical disabilities, hearing and vision loss. Emergency situation and disaster conditions worsen the health status of elderly individuals with chronic diseases and threaten their lives. In addition, the elderly population segment should be protected in hot and cold weather conditions. In such risk conditions, elderly people are one of the disadvantaged groups that should be handled in our country in case of emergency and disaster preparedness, intervention during disasters and post-disaster relief mechanisms because they are more vulnerable and fragile than others. In this study, it is aimed to examine the measures, practices and results which are developed to response to chronic diseases and physical barriers of elderly people, fragilities that cause them to move slowly compared to young individuals and special situations due to their sensitivities in the light of world examples and to develop a model proposal for our country. In this study, the services, measures taken and the examples of institutional structures implemented in the United States, Japan and European countries for the elderly groups in certain emergencies and disasters are examined, presented proposals for the elderly services of the local administrations, central and provincial organizations in our country.
