Özet:

 In 2010, with the amendment made to the Civil Defence Law, municipalities, along with other public institutions and organizations, started to establish positions under the name of civil defence expertise. These positions have been created with different hierarchical structures and different numbers of personnel in each municipality. The aim of this study is to reveal the demographic characteristics, work and disaster experiences, general and disaster training levels, forms of organization, perceptions of disaster legislation, organizational communication and authority perceptions of civil defence personnel in Istanbul district municipalities. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was conducted. The population of the research are civil defence personnel working in district municipalities in Istanbul. In Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, the Civil Defence Unit has a standard structure and function as a Department. Therefore, it is not included in the scope of this study since it does not experience the same problems as the district municipalities. For the research, all 150 personnel working in the civil defence units of Istanbul district municipalities were invited to participate in the 50-question survey, but 116 of them responded. This research has revealed the characteristics of the personnel in the civil defence units of district municipalities, as well as their work and disaster experiences, general and disaster training level, the structure of the units, their perceptions on disaster legislation, organizational communication and their perceptions on authorities. The most important determination obtained from the findings is that there is no standard structure and functioning in the civil defence units in Istanbul district municipalities, but the level of education of the personnel in the civil defence units is high and they are experienced in disaster practices.

 2010 yılında Sivil Savunma Kanununda yapılan değişiklikle, diğer kamu kurum ve kuruluşlarıyla birlikte belediyelerde, sivil savunma uzmanlığı adı altında kadrolar oluşturulmaya başlanmıştır. Bu kadrolar, her belediyede farklı hiyerarşik yapıda, farklı sayılarda personel ile oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı; İstanbul ilçe belediyelerindeki sivil savunma personelinin demografik özellikleri, iş ve afet deneyimleri, genel ve afet eğitimi düzeyleri, teşkilatlanma biçimleri, afet mevzuatına yönelik algıları, örgütsel iletişim ve yetki algılarını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaçla bir anket araştırması yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evreni İstanbuldaki ilçe belediyelerinde görevli sivil savunma personelidir. İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesinde Sivil Savunma Birimi Daire Başkanlığı şeklinde standart bir yapı ve işleve sahiptir. Dolayısıyla ilçe belediyeleriyle aynı sorunlara sahip olmadığından bu araştırmanın kapsamına alınmamıştır. Araştırma kapsamında, İstanbul ilçe belediyelerindeki sivil savunma birimlerinde görevli toplam 150 personelin tümü 50 soruluk ankete katılım için davet edilmiş, ancak 116sından dönüş alınmıştır. Bu araştırma, ilçe belediyelerinin sivil savunma birimlerindeki personelin özelliklerinin yanında iş ve afet deneyimleri, genel ve afet eğitimi düzeyi, birimlerin yapıları, afet mevzuatına yönelik algıları, örgütsel iletişim ve yetkilere yönelik personel algılarını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bulgulardan elde edilen en önemli tespit, İstanbul ilçe belediyelerindeki sivil savunma birimlerinde standart bir yapı ve işleyiş bulunmadığı ancak sivil savunma birimlerindeki personelin eğitim seviyesinin yüksek ve afet uygulamalarında deneyimli olduklarıdır.
