Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada,
yakın açık rekreasyon alanları (doğal alanlar) üzerinde durulmuş, ilgili
alanlarda geçirilen vakit ile iyi olma hali, psikolojik dayanıklılık, yenilenme
deneyimi, yaşam doyumu ve iş tatmini kavramları arasındaki ilişki ve etkileşim
istatistiksel olarak ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

Yöntem: Araştırma için,
2018 yılı Mart-Haziran aylarında, İstanbul’un Beşiktaş, Bakırköy, Beyoğlu,
Şişli ve Fatih ilçelerinde ikamet eden ve çalışan 103’ü kadın, 243’ü erkek
olmak üzere toplam 346 kişiye (beyaz yakalı) anket uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada,
yakın açık rekreasyon alanlarına yönelik mekânsal ölçek, iyi olma hali,
psikolojik dayanıklılık, yenilenme deneyimi, yaşam doyum ve iş tatmini
ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizi, SPSS 22.0 programında
yapılmıştır. Frekans analizi, faktör analizi, güvenirlik analizi, korelasyon ve
regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Anlam düzeyi p<0.05 alınmıştır.

Bulgular: İlgili doğal
alanlarda geçirilen vakit açısından bakıldığında, katılımcıların az vakit
geçirdikleri ve daha çok yürüyüş yapmak, çocuklarla vakit geçirmek ve piknik
yapmak gibi amaçlarla bu alanları ziyaret ettikleri görülmüştür. Diğer
taraftan, ilgili alanlara gerçekleştirilen ziyaretlerin, bağımlı değişkenler
ile arasında oldukça zayıf bir ilişki bulunmuş ya da herhangi bir ilişki
bulunamamıştır (p>0.05).

Sonuç: Araştırmanın
sonucunda, katılımcıların ilgili doğal alanlarda geçirdikleri vakit ile iyi
olma halleri arasında ilişki katsayısı oldukça düşük bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, yakın
açık alanlara yapılan ziyaret ile diğer bağımlı değişkenlere ait bazı boyutlar
arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki ve etkileşim ortaya
çıkmamıştır (p>0.05).

THE EFFECTS OF NEARBY OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES ON WELLBEING, PSYCOLOGICAL RESILIENCE, RECOVERY EXPERIENCE, LIFE AND SATISFACTİON

Abstract

Aim: This study
focuses on nearby outdoor recreation activities (natural places) and tries to
statistically prove the relation and interaction among the time spent around
the places mentioned and well-being, psychological resilience, recovery
experience, life and job saisfaction.

Method: The
questionnaire was applied to a total of 346 white colars ( 103 women and 243
men) working and dwelling in the disticts of Beşiktaş, Bakırköy, Beyoğlu, Şişli
and Fatih in İstanbul between March-June of 2018. In this study, a spatial
scale referring to nearby outdoor recreations, well-being, psychological
resilience, recovery experience, life and job satisfaction scales were used and
the analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0. The acquired data was evaluated by
frequency-analysis, factor analysis, reliability-analysis, correlation and
regression. Meaning level was taken as p<0.05.

Findings: When considered
from the point of time spent around the natural places mentioned, the results
show that the participants spend limited time and mostly visit those places for
a walk, spend time with children or to picnic. Yet, a quiet poor relation or no
relation was found among the amount of time spent in natural places and other
dependant variances (p>0.05).

Conclusion: As a result of
study, the relation coefficient between the nearby outdoor recreation and
well-being was found to be very low. In addition, a statistically significant
relation or interaction was not found between the visits to the nearby outdoor
places and sub-dimensions belonging to the other dependant variances
(p>0.05).
