Özet:

 Increasing womens resilience against earthquake fear and educating them about disaster risks, promoting gender equality SDG 5 and strengthening womens leadership are seen as important approaches in disaster management. This study aims to investigate the effect of womens fear of earthquakes on their perception of earthquake risk. It was designed as a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study, conducted with women aged 18 and older living in Türkiye. Data for the study were collected between April 28, 2024, and August 15, 2024, using the Socio-Demographic Information Form, the Fear of Earthquake Scale, and the Earthquake Risk Perception Scale. According to the results, employed participants had lower earthquake fear scores. Participants with moderate economic status had higher earthquake fear scores compared to those with better economic status. A strong positive r0.752 and significant p0.05 relationship was found between fear of earthquakes and earthquake risk perception. The fear of earthquakes and earthquake risk perceptions of the participants increase significantly together, demonstrating a strong correlation. Researchers examined the effects of earthquake fear on the earthquake risk perception of women living in Türkiye from various perspectives and the important findings can guide policy makers in creating gender equality SDG 5 policies in disaster management.

 Kadınların deprem korkusuna karşı dayanıklılıklarının artırılması ve afet riskleri konusunda eğitilmeleri, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinin teşvik edilmesi SKH 5 ve kadın liderliğinin güçlendirilmesi afet yönetiminde önemli yaklaşımlar olarak görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadınların deprem korkusunun deprem riski algıları üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Türkiyede yaşayan 18 yaş ve üzeri kadınlarla yürütülen kesitsel, tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri 28 Nisan 2024 - 15 Ağustos 2024 tarihleri arasında Sosyo-Demografik Bilgi Formu, Deprem Korkusu Ölçeği ve Deprem Riski Algısı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Sonuçlara göre çalışan katılımcıların deprem korku puanları daha düşüktü. Orta düzeyde ekonomik duruma sahip katılımcıların deprem korku puanları, daha iyi ekonomik duruma sahip olanlara göre daha yüksekti. Deprem korkusu ile deprem riski algısı arasında güçlü, pozitif r0,752 ve anlamlı p0,05 bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların deprem korkusu ve deprem riski algıları birlikte önemli ölçüde artmakta olup, güçlü bir korelasyon göstermektedir. Araştırmacılar, deprem korkusunun Türkiyede yaşayan kadınların deprem riski algısı üzerindeki etkilerini çeşitli perspektiflerden incelemiş olup bulgular, afet yönetiminde cinsiyet eşitliği SDG 5 politikaları oluşturmada politika yapıcılara rehberlik edebilir.
