Abstract

Araştırmanın teorik çerçevesi sosyal sermaye kuramına dayanmakta olup fenomenolojik desen kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, deprem sonrası sosyal yardımlaşma ve dayanışmalarda kriz iletişim yöntemlerini ele almaktır. Araştırma desenine göre, çalışmanın örneklem grubunu, Kahramanmaraş’taki Konteyner Kentte yaşayan depremzedeler oluşturmuştur. Veriler Max Van Manen’in ve Linda A. Bliss’in tekniklerine göre tematik analiz sonuçlarından elde edilmiştir. Bu temalar deprem afetinde temel ihtiyaçlar katmanı, ev geçimi ve eğitim sorunları, kriz dayanışmasında kolektif bilinç, kriz dayanışması sapması eksenlidir. Deprem sonrasında sosyal yardımlaşma ve dayanışma ruhunun güçlendiği görülmüş; aynı zamanda maddi sosyal yardımların dağıtımında koordinasyon eksiklerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Afetten etkilenen bölgenin kapsamlı oluşu, afetin koordinasyonunu zorlaştırmıştır. 6 Şubat depremlerinde sosyal yardımların yağmalandığı görülmüş; vandalizm davranışlarına da rastlanılmıştır. Bu nedenle afetzede ihtiyaç sahipleri sosyal yardımlara erişmeye temkinli davranmışlardır. Deprem bölgelerinde bir yandan maddi iyileştirmeler, gelişmeler olurken; diğer yandan depremzedelerin temel geçim kaynağına, barınmaya ve alt yapıya olan talepleri devam etmektedir. Afetzedelerin, depremden sonra hayatta kalmaya dair önemli krizler yaşadıkları; bu krizleri sosyal yardımlaşma ve dayanışmayla çözmeye çalıştıkları görülmektedir. 6 Şubat krizinin sonuçları, Türkiye’deki depremlerde yaşanan kriz iletişiminin görünürlüğü açısından önem ifade eder. Bulgular, yaşanacak depremlerin gelecekteki muhtemel etkilerinin anlaşılmasına da ışık tutar.

Research on Crisis Communication for Social Aids in the 6 February Earthquakes: The Example of Kahramanmaraş Province

Abstract

The theoretical framework of the study is based on social capital theory, and a phenomenological design was employed. The aim of the study is to examine crisis communication methods in social assistance and solidarity after an earthquake. According to the research design, the sample group consisted of earthquake victims living in the Container City in Kahramanmaraş. Data were obtained from thematic analysis results according to the techniques of Max Van Manen and Linda A. Bliss. These themes are centred on the basic needs layer in the earthquake disaster, livelihood and education problems, collective consciousness in crisis solidarity, and crisis solidarity deviation. It was observed that the spirit of social solidarity and cooperation strengthened after the earthquake; at the same time, coordination deficiencies were identified in the distribution of material social assistance. The extensive nature of the affected area made coordination of the disaster response difficult. Looting of social aid was observed during the 6 February earthquakes, and acts of vandalism were also encountered. Consequently, disaster victims in need were cautious about accessing social aid. While material improvements and developments are taking place in the earthquake-affected areas, the demands of earthquake victims for basic livelihoods, shelter, and infrastructure continue. It has been observed that disaster victims experienced significant crises related to survival after the earthquake and attempted to resolve these crises through social assistance and solidarity. The consequences of the 6 February crisis are significant in terms of the visibility of crisis communication experienced in earthquakes in Turkey. The findings also shed light on understanding the potential future effects of earthquakes.
