Özet:

 This study explores the interaction of people and place, the most important elements of geography, in the context of community resilience. Community resilience is the process of adaptation of a society to changing conditions by recovering from the effects of disasters as soon as possible. A resilient community is considered one of the most important components of disaster respons. In the context of increasing disaster risks, interest in increasing community resilience is growing in both academic and policy circles. This study seeks to understand how individuals affected by the February 6, 2023, earthquakes perceive resilience. These interviews were conducted as qualitative research. Typical case sampling was used in the study. Participants were selected from individuals who had experienced both earthquakes January 24, Elazig and February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş and equal gender distribution was sought. Interviews were conducted on July 15 and August 15, 2023, six months after the second earthquake. Interviews were conducted with 22 people, consisting of 11 female and 11 male earthquake survivors from Elazig, Kahramanmaraş, and Malatya, the three provinces affected by the earthquake. A descriptive analysis of the opinions obtained after the interviews was conducted. Similar answers were brought together, and conclusions on social resilience were evaluated in terms of social, environmental, economic, built, natura, and institutional environment dimensions.

 Bu çalışma, coğrafyanın en önemli unsurları olan insan ve mekânın etkileşimini toplumsal dirençlilik bağlamında araştırmaktadır. Toplumsal dirençlilik bir toplumun afetlerin etkisinde en kısa sürede kurtularak değişen koşullara uyum saplama sürecidir. Artan afet riskleri bağlamında toplumların dirençliliğini artırmaya yönelik ilgiler hem akademik hem de politik çevrelerde her geçen gün artmaktadır. Dirençli bir toplum afetle mücadelede en önemli bileşenlerden biri olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çalışma, 6 Şubat 2023 depremlerinden sonra bireylerin görüşlerinden yola çıkarak dirençlilik algılarını belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu görüşmeler, nitel araştırma türünde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada, tipik durum örneklemesi kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar her iki depremi de yaşamış 24 Ocak Elazığ ve 6 Şubat 2023 Kahramanmaraş bireylerden seçilmiş ve eşit cinsiyet dağılımı aranmıştır. Görüşmeler ikinci depremden altı ay sonra, 15 Temmuz-15 Ağustos 2023 tarihlerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Depremden etkilenen üç il olan Elazığ, Kahramanmaraş ve Malatyadan 11 kadın ve 11 erkek depremzededen oluşan 22 kişi ile yüz yüze yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmeler sonrasında elde edilen görüşlerin betimsel analizi yapılmıştır. Benzer cevaplar bir araya getirilerek toplumsal dirençliliğe yönelik çıkarımlar sosyal, çevre, ekonomik çevre, yapılı çevre, doğal çevre ve kurumsal çevre boyutları açısından değerlendirilmiştir.
