Özet:

 For municipalities to fulfill their roles in disaster management, in addition to having sufficient authority and capacity, collaboration and coordination at different levels with central structures are essential. This study aimed to assess the opinions of municipal employees regarding the capacities of municipalities in disaster management. The descriptive research was conducted in municipal offices of a city and its districts between November 20, 2023, and January 15, 2024. The data collection instruments included the Employee Profile Form and the Form Assessing Municipalities Capacities in Employees Perspectives on Disaster Management, developed by the researcher. The research population consisted of 260 permanent employees working in a city and district municipalities. The sample comprised 148 municipal employees 56.92 who were accessible at their workplaces and voluntarily participated in the study. Data analysis involved the use of numbers, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Employees, with an average age of 40.539.48, are composed of 60.1 males, 29.7 of whom are graduates, and 42.6 are working as laborers. It has been observed that 29.0 of them have 1-4 years of work experience in municipalities. According to the employees, in disaster management within municipalities; it was observed that no training was provided 71.6, no drills were conducted in the last two years 87.2, municipalities were not prepared for disaster management 79.7, and the budget for disaster management was insufficient 86.5. Additionally, there was a perception among employees that there is an inadequacy in the number of qualified technical personnel and equipment 59.5, insufficient budget 45.9, and a lack of training 37.2 as the top three problems in disaster management for municipalities. According to the findings of the study, the majority of employees over 75 perceive the municipalities capacities in disaster management as inadequate. It is recommended that policies be implemented to enhance their capacities and increase their authority to enable municipalities to be more effective and successful in disaster management.

 Belediyelerin afet yönetiminde rollerini yerine getirebilmeleri için yetki ve kapasitelerinin yeterli olmasının yanında merkezi yapılarla farklı seviyelerde işbirliği ve koordinasyona ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu araştırma, belediye çalışanlarının afet yönetiminde belediyelerin kapasiteleriyle ilgili görüşlerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Tanımlayıcı türden olan araştırma, bir il ile ilçe belediyelerinde 20 Kasım 2023, 15 Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen Çalışanları Tanıtıcı Form ile Çalışanların Afet Yönetiminde Belediyelerin Kapasiteleriyle İlgili Görüşlerini İçeren Form kullanıldı. Araştırma evrenini, bir il ve ilçe belediyelerinde sürekli çalışan 260 kişi oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise işyerlerinde ulaşılabilen ve araştırmaya gönüllü katılan 148 56.92 belediye çalışanı oluşturdu. Verilerin analizinde sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma kullanıldı. Yaşların ortalaması 40.539.48 olan çalışanların, 60.1i erkek, 29.7si lisans mezunu olup, 42.6sı işçi olarak çalışmakta, 29.0unun belediyelerde 1-4 yıl çalışma deneyimine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışanlara göre belediyelerde afet yönetiminde; eğitim verilmediği 71,6sı, son iki yılda herhangi bir tatbikat yapılmadığı 87.2sı, belediyelerin afet yönetimine hazır olmadığı 79.7u ve afet yönetiminde belediye bütçesinin yetersiz 86.5i, insan kaynakları sayısının 77.0si yetersiz olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca çalışanlara göre belediyelerin afet yönetiminde en önemli üç sorunun ise nitelikli teknik personel ve ekipman eksikliği 59.5, yetersiz bütçe 45.9 ile eğitim eksikliğinin olduğu 37.2 saptanmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre çalışanların büyük çoğunluğuna 75in üzerinde göre belediyelerin afet yönetiminde kapasitelerinin yetersiz olduğu görülmüştür. Belediyelerin afet yönetiminde etkili ve başarılı olabilmeleri için yetkilerinin arttırılarak kapasitelerini geliştirici politikaların hayata geçirilmesi önerilmektedir.
