“No Support Came for My Neighbourhood, My Family or Me”: People with Disabilities during the Disaster Process and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)

Öz

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the views of people with disabilities regarding their experiences of the difficulties they face during a disaster as a form of discrimination specific to their particular circumstances. Method: To this end, the data collected in the study were obtained through face-to-face interviews conducted in 2023–2024 with individuals aged 30 and over who have orthopaedic, hearing, and visual impairments and who experienced the 23 October 2011 Van earthquakes whilst residing in the central districts of Van. Findings: It was found that the participants in the study held differing views regarding whether they had been subjected to discrimination during the earthquake experience. However, it was generally understood that they believed they had faced discrimination due to their disability, felt helpless, experienced discrimination based on their ethnic origin, felt they had experienced gender discrimination, and emphasised that earthquake relief aid had not reached them in the same way as it had reached other people with disabilities individuals, regardless of any special conditions. Conclusion: The research has shown that people with disabilities perceive the difficulties they face during a disaster as discrimination. It is believed that the findings of the research, when combined with the participants’ own experiences and suggestions, contribute to the development of the Disaster Risk Reduction System (DRRS).
