Kentsel Hava Hareketliliğinde İHA'ların Geleceği: Toplumsal Algı ve Endişeler

Öz

Bu çalışma, İnsansız hava araçlarının (İHA/UAV-Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) kentsel hava hareketliliği (KHH/UAM-Urban Air Mobility) bağlamındaki toplumsal algısını incelemek ve bu yeni teknolojinin yaygın kabulünü ve uygulanabilirliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, İstanbul ve Ankara illerinde yaşayan 82 katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, katılımcıların İHA'lar hakkındaki görüşlerini belirli bir yapıda sınıflandırmak amacıyla tematik analiz yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bu analiz sonucunda katılımcı görüşleri üç ana kategori altında toplanmıştır. Olumlu görüşler arasında katılımcıların İHA'ların acil durum kullanımıyla ilgili beklentileri ön plana çıkmaktadır. Olumsuz görüşlerde ise, İHA'ların güvenlik ve potansiyel riskleri konusundaki endişeler başı çekerken, İHA’ların topluma etkisi, yasal düzenlemeleri ve teknolojik gelişimi hakkındaki karışık düşünceleri nötr kategoriyi oluşturmuştur.

The Future of UAVs in Urban Air Mobility: Public Perception and Concerns

Abstract

This study aims to examine the public perception of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the context of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and evaluate the widespread acceptance and applicability of this new technology. In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 82 participants residing in the provinces of Istanbul and Ankara. The data obtained were analyzed using the thematic analysis method to categorize participants' views about UAVs in a specific structure. As a result of this analysis, participant views were categorized into three main themes: positive views, negative views, and neutral perspectives. Among the positive views, participants' expectations regarding the emergency use of UAVs stand out. In the negative views, concerns about the security and potential risks of UAVs took the lead, while mixed thoughts about the impact of UAVs on society, legal regulations, and technological development formed the neutral category.
