HANEHALKI BİREYLERİNİN YOKSULLUK ALGISI ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA: BARTIN İL ÖRNEĞİ

Öz

Yoksulluk, kişilerin hayatlarını sürdürebilmeleri için ihtiyaç duydukları temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılayamadıkları durum olarak ifade edilebilir. Yoksulluk algısı ise öznel ve nesnel oluşumlarla açıklanabilen, kişilerin yoksulluğa ilişkin değerlendirmelerini içeren bir kavramdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hanehalkı bireylerinin yoksulluk algılarını yoksulluk göstergelerinden hareketle Bartın ili ölçeğinde ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada, rastgele seçilmiş 394 hanehalkı bireyine anket uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulardan, Bartın’daki hanehalkı bireylerinin kendilerini yoksul olarak algılamadıkları ve Bartın ilinde yoksulluk oranını yaklaşık olarak %27 seviyesinde tahmin ettikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
