İçinde yaşadığımız dünya sayısız riskle kuşatılmış durumdadır. Özellikle son yıllarda doğal risklerden imal edilmiş risklere, salgın hastalıklardan terörist saldırılara kadar çok geniş yelpazeden riskler toplumları tehdit emkete ve korku yaratmaktadır. Geçtiğimiz yıllarda dünyanın çeşitli bölgelerinde yayılım alanı bulan bombalı terör saldırıları terör risk ve korkusunun çok büyük coğrafyalarda tetiklenmesine ve korkunun gündelik hayatları etkisi altına almasına yol açmıştır. Ancak bu korku, bireylerin yalnızca kendilerine ilişkin korkularından ibaret olmayıp ailelerine ve yakınlarına ilişkin korkularını da içermektedir. Bu çerevede, bu araştırma daha önce bombalı terör saldırılarının gerçekleştiği Ankara’da yaşayan bireylerin yakınlarına ilişkin korkularını ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, 2018 yılında anket ve görüşmeler aracılığı ile toplanan verilere dayanmaktadır. Anketler, Ankara’da terör saldırılarının gerçekleşmiş olduğu mekanları ve çevresini kullanan 400 kişi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşme verileri ise bombalı bir terör eylemine doğrudan maruz kalmış olan 20 kişiden kartopu örnekleme tekniği ile toplanan verilere dayanmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçları, bireylerin yakınlarına ilişkin korkularının kişisel korkularından daha yüksek olduğunu ve cinsiyet, çocuk sahibi olmak, terör mağduriyeti ve yaşanılan muhite ilişkin algıların bireylerin yakınlarına ilişkin korkuları üzerinde belirleyici olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca bu korku ve kaygıların bireylerde telkin davranışını tetiklediği bulgulanmıştır. Araştırma, literatürde genellikle eksik bırakılan, terör korkusunun ve algılanan terör riskinin alturistik boyutlarını ortaya koyması açısından önem arz etmektedir.

Altruistic Dimensions of Fear of Terror and Perceived Terror Risk

Öz

The world is surrounded by many risks. Especially in recent years, a wide range of risks, from external to manufactured risks, from epidemics to terrorist attacks, create threats and fear for the societies. Terrorist attacks in recent years have caused terrorism risk and fear to be triggered in vast geographies and fear affects daily lives. However, the fear covers not only the personal fears of individuals but also fears about relatives. This study aims to address the fears about relatives and families of individuals living in Ankara, where terrorist attacks took place. The research is based on data collected through surveys and interviews in 2018. The surveys were conducted with 400 individuals with regard to the spots where terrorist attacks took place in Ankara. Interview data is based on data collected by the snowball sampling technique from 20 people who were directly exposed to a terrorist attack. Results reveal that the fears of individuals about their relatives are higher than their personal fears. Gender, having children, the neighbourhood, and terrorism victimisation are determinant on the individuals’ fear about their relatives. Besides, it has been found that fear and anxiety trigger the recommendation behaviour in individuals. The research is essential in terms of revealing the altruistic dimensions of fear of terrorism and perceived terrorism risk, which is often lacking in the literature.
