TY - JOUR T1 - A Current View of Data Collection on People With Disabilities in Türkiye TT - Türkiye'de Engelli Bireylere Yönelik Veri Toplama Sürecine Güncel Bir Bakış AU - Korkmaz, Burak Can PY - 2025 DA - June Y2 - 2025 DO - 10.47147/ksuiibf.1653617 JF - Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi Dergisi PB - Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2146-5908 SP - 35 EP - 45 VL - 15 IS - 1 LA - en AB - Social policies are increasing worldwide, and collecting data on disadvantaged groups is becoming critical. Evaluating the data collection process for people with disabilities (PWD), who constitute a significant part of society, is critical in terms of both identifying their needs healthily and determining the effectiveness of social policies accurately. Therefore, this article aims to examine the data collection process regarding PWD in Türkiye in the light of existing literature and current developments. Disability and Aging Statistical Bulletin, which is updated with data regularly collected by the Ministry of Family and Social Services every year and presented with comprehensive content, is considered important in describing the current situation for PWD. Statistical bulletins, which include specific data in the most basic areas, such as education and employment, are essential for social policies. This article discusses the data collection process for PWD in Türkiye, including policy recommendations and implications. KW - Disability KW - Data collection KW - Social policy KW - Disadvantaged groups N2 - Dünya ile paralel olarak Türkiye'de de sosyal politikaların arttığı görülmekte ve dezavantajlı gruplara ilişkin data toplama süreci önemli hale gelmektedir. Toplumun azımsanmayacak bir parçasını oluşturan ve yaşadığı sorunlar açısından sosyal politikaya en fazla ihtiyaç duyan gruplar arasında yer alan engelli bireylere yönelik data toplama sürecinin değerlendirilmesi, hem ihtiyaçların tespitinin sağlıklı bir şekilde yapılması hem de sosyal politikaların etkililiğinin doğru bir şekilde tespit edilmesi açısından büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Dolayısıyla, bu makale Türkiye'de engelli bireylere ilişkin veri toplama sürecinin var olan literatür ve güncel gelişmeler ışığında incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Her yıl Aile ve Sosyal Hizmetler Bakanlığı tarafından düzenli olarak toplanan veriler ile güncelleştirilerek geniş bir içerikle sunulan Engelli ve Yaşlı İstatistik Bülteni engelli bireylere yönelik var olan durumun betimlenmesinde önemli görülmektedir. Eğitim ve istihdam gibi en temel alanlarda spesifik verilerin dahil edildiği istatistik bültenleri sosyal politikalar açısından elzemdir. Bu makalede Türkiye'de engellilere yönelik veri toplama süreci, politika önerileri ve çıkarımlar açısından tartışılmıştır. CR - Akter, S. (2012).
