Özet:

 The aim of this study is to determine the disaster risk perceptions of individuals and to evaluate them in terms of various variables affecting this situation. The study was conducted between February 2022 and March 2022 on 416 individuals aged 18-65 living in Erzincan province. Data were collected electronically using the Disaster Risk Perception scale. Data were evaluated using Mann Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. 63.5 of the individuals were female and 47.6 were between the ages of 18 and 24. 52.4 of the participants were single and the percentage of university graduates was higher 30.5. The economic level of the participants was medium 81.0. When the characteristics related to disasters were analyzed, 37 had never experienced a disaster before, while 52.2 had not received any training on disasters before. The mean disaster risk perception score of the individuals was 82.8510.32, which is almost at a high level. In addition, while age, gender, marital status, educational status and disaster experience factors affect disaster risk perception, economic status and receiving training on disasters were found to have no effect on disaster risk perception. Studies conducted to determine disaster risk perception are very important within the scope of disaster management. Because these studies reveal individuals ideas about disasters and their approaches to disasters. For this reason, it is recommended to conduct studies on individuals to determine their risk perceptions especially for each type of disaster.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, bireylerin afet risk algılarını belirlemek ve bu durumu etkileyen çeşitli değişkenler açısından değerlendirmektir. Araştırma, Şubat 2022-Mart 2022 tarihleri arasında, Erzincan ilinde yaşayan 18-65 yaş arasındaki 416 birey üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Veriler, Afet Risk Algısı ölçeği kullanılarak elektronik ortamda toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesi Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal-Wallis H testleri kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bireylerin 63,5i kadın olup 47,6sı 18 ile 24 yaş aralığındadır. Katılımcıların 52,4ü bekâr olup üniversite mezunu olanların yüzdesi daha fazladır 30,5. Katılımcıların ekonomik düzeyi orta düzeydedir 81,0. Afetlerle ilişkili özellikleri incelendiğinde, 37si daha önce hiç afet yaşamamışken, 52,2si daha önce afetlerle ilgili bir eğitim almamıştır. Bireylerin afet risk algısı puan ortalaması 82,8510,32 olarak neredeyse yüksek düzeydedir. Ayrıca yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum, öğrenim durumu ve afet deneyimi faktörleri afet risk algısını etkilerken, ekonomik durum ve afetlerle ilgili eğitim alma faktörlerinin afet risk algısı üzerinde etkili olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Afet risk algısını belirlemeye yönelik yapılan çalışmalar afet yönetimi kapsamında çok önemlidir. Çünkü bu çalışmalar bireylerin afetler konusundaki fikirlerini ve afetlere olan yaklaşımlarını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu nedenle bireyler üzerinde özellikle her bir afet türüne yönelik risk algılarını belirlemeye yönelik araştırmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
