AB  - This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review of the public perception of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in various fields. The research seeks to understand public attitudes toward UAVs and the underlying reasons for these attitudes. The study did a detailed search using specific keywords in the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The search strings used for database queries were determined, and exclusion criteria for article screening were established. Records were identified through database searches, and duplicates were removed following the PRISMA flow diagram. Articles were re-evaluated for eligibility, and the studies included in the synthesis were identified. The study yielded important findings for understanding the societal impact of UAV technology and its future trajectory. Various factors affect the public perception of UAVs, and the consequences of this perception are directly related to how individuals and societies adopt the technology. In this respect, it is evident that stakeholders should consider public perceptions when making decisions regarding UAV usage. Given that privacy concerns surrounding UAVs may lead to public debate, managing risks and developing communication strategies with the public may also be beneficial.

N2  - Bu çalışmanın amacı, çeşitli alanlarda kullanılan İnsansız Hava Araçları (İHA) hakkındaki toplumsal algıya ilişkin sistematik bir literatür taraması yapmaktır. Araştırma, İHA'lara yönelik toplumsal tutumları ve bu tutumların altında yatan nedenleri anlamaya çalışmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, Scopus ve Google Akademik veri tabanlarında belirli anahtar kelimeler kullanılarak ayrıntılı bir arama yapılmıştır. Veritabanı sorguları için kullanılan arama dizeleri belirlenmiş ve yayın taraması için dışlama kriterleri oluşturulmuştur. Kayıtlar veritabanı aramaları yoluyla belirlenmiş ve PRISMA akış şeması izlenerek tekrarlar kaldırılmıştır. Yayınlar uygunluk açısından yeniden değerlendirilmiş ve senteze dahil edilen çalışmalar belirlenmiştir. Çalışma, İHA teknolojisinin toplumsal etkisini ve gelecekteki yörüngesini anlamak için önemli bulgular ortaya koymuştur. İHA'lara ilişkin toplumsal algı çeşitli faktörlerden etkilenmektedir ve bu algının sonuçları, bireylerin ve toplumların teknolojiyi nasıl benimsediğiyle doğrudan ilişkilidir. Bu bağlamda, paydaşların İHA kullanımına ilişkin kararlar alırken toplumsal algıları dikkate almaları gerektiği açıktır. İHA'lara ilişkin mahremiyet endişelerinin kamuoyunda tartışmalara yol açabileceği göz önüne alındığında, risklerin yönetilmesi ve toplumla iletişim stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi de faydalı olabilir.
