Torpuş, Kemal; Cengiz, Sevil
This study aimed to develop a flood fear scale. The study was designed as a methodological and cross-sectional study. The study was conducted with 1158 participants aged 18–65 residing in Türkiye’s Black Sea Region between February 15, 2025, and May 15, 2025. SPSS 25 and Amos 21 programs were used to analyze the data. The flood fear scale consists of four dimensions and 26 items. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.948, and the scale explained 62.644% of the total variance. The model fit indices were χ2/ df = 3.444, RMSEA = 0.065, SRMR = 0.056, CFI = 0.921, IFI = 0.922, NFI = 0.893, and TLI = 0.912. The findings indicated that the flood fear scale provided valid and reliable for adults aged 18–65 residing in Türkiye’s Black Sea Region. The total scores obtainable from the scale range from 26 to 130, with higher scores indicating an increased level of flood fear. Scale can be used to assess flood fear in community-based disaster risk reduction efforts. It is recommended that validity and reliability studies of the scale be conducted in different cultures and geographical regions.

Okan kaçalın
Afet farkındalığı, toplumun afetler sonucu ortaya çıkabilecek birincil ve ikincil etkilere karşı bilgi sahibi olmalarını, afetlerin kişisel yaşamlarının bir parçası olduğu gerçeğini benimsemelerini ve hayatlarına entegre etmelerini sağlar. Ayrıca, afet öncesi, sırası ve sonrasında elde etmiş olduğu bilgi ve birikimlerini, kazanmış olduğu doğru ve hızlı karar verebilme yetisiyle kullanabilme seviyesine ulaşabilmeyi mümkün kılar. Bu çalışmada, Rize ili Ardeşen ilçesinde yaşayan bireylerin afet farkındalık ve hazırlık seviyelerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel olarak yürütülen çalışma, kesitsel tarama modelinde tasarlanmış olup veriler yüz yüze anket formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Anket formunda yer alan sorular, ilgili literatür taraması yapıldıktan sonra, literatürde mevcut olan ve farklı araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan sorulardan derlenmiştir. Veri toplama aracı iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölümde, sosyodemografik bilgi formu, ikinci bölümde ise afet farkındalığı ve hazırlığını ölçmeye yönelik sorular olmak üzere toplamda 29 soru mevcuttur. Örnekleme yöntemi olarak basit rastgele örneklem yöntemi kullanılmış olup, evreni bilinen örneklem hesaplamasına göre örneklem sayısı 380 olarak belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 27.0 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin normal dağılım göstermemesi sonucunda non-parametrik testler kullanılmıştır. İkili karşılaştırmalar için Man Whitney U testi ve çoklu karşılaştırmalar için ise Kruskal Wallis H testi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre bölgede yaşayan bireylerin afet farkındalığı ve hazırlık seviyelerinin orta düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Afet tatbikatlarına katılan bireylerin afet farkındalık ve hazırlık seviyelerinin katılmayanlara oranla yüksek olduğu görülmüş, hanelerine doğal afet sigortası yaptıran bireylerin afet farkındalık ve hazırlık seviyelerinin yaptırmayanlara oranla daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, çalışma kapsamında elde edilen bulguların, bölge halkının afet farkındalık ve hazırlık seviyelerinin artışı yönünde katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Hüsna Nas
Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de yaygın olarak kentsel dönüşüm uygulamaları kapsamında değerlendirilen ve uygulamada kentsel dönüşüm projelerinin önemli bir kısmının yürütülmesinde kullanılan 6306 sayılı Kanun’u incelemektedir. Söz konusu kanun, hukuki çerçevesi itibarıyla Afet Riski Altındaki Alanların dönüştürülmesini de düzenlemekte olup, Kanun’un uygulanmasına yönelik dönüşümler üzerine karşılaştırmalı bir analiz olarak ele alınmıştır. Tez kapsamında, afet riski altındaki alanların dönüşüm politikalarının zaman içerisinde geçirdiği dönüşüm hukuki, sosyal ve yönetsel olarak incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemi çerçevesinde belge incelemesi ve içerik analizi teknikleri kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kanun metinleri, yönetmelik değişiklikleri karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Uygulama süreçlerinin yalnızca normatif düzeyde değil, fiili işleyiş boyutunun değerlendirilmesi amacıyla 2012-2023 dönemi ile 2024 dönemi dönüşüm başvuru türleri, dönüşüm kapsamı incelenmiştir. Çalışma bulguları, 2012-2023 döneminde riskli yapı tespiti prosedürüne dayalı, münferit başvurular ekseninde ve arsa payı çoğunluğuna dayalı karar alma süreçleri çerçevesinde yürütüldüğü görülmüştür. Bu dönemde dönüşüm uygulamalarının daha parçalı ve reaktif bir karakterde olduğu ortaya konmaktadır. 2024 sonrası dönemde Kanun’da yapılan revizyonlar ve rezerv yapı alanlarının genişletilmesiyle birlikte uygulamaların daha planlı, koordineli bir yapıya yöneldiği ve dijital süreçler üzerinden yürütüldüğü, toplu başvuruların ve yürütülen projelerin belirgin biçimde arttığı, uygulama süreçlerinin hızlandığı ve yeni politika modeline evrildiği görülmektedir. Bu evrimin getirdiği sorunlar çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında, 2012-2023 ve 2024 sonrası dönem sırası ile Yoğunlaşmamış Merkeziyetçi Dönem ve Yoğunlaşmış Merkeziyetçi Dönem olmak üzere kavramsal olarak kodlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede fiili katılımın kamu eliyle yürütülmesini temel alan, ortaya çıkan yapısal gerilimlerin dengelenmesine katkıda bulunmayı hedefleyen Karma Katılımcı Dönüşüm Modeli (KKDM) önerilmektedir.

Yasemin Deniz Öztürk
Afetler sonrasında en kritik gereksinimlerden biri, afetzedelerin güvenli ve yeterli geçici barınma alanlarına yerleştirilmesidir. 6 Şubat 2023 Kahramanmaraş depremlerinden en fazla etkilenen Hatay’da, kriz döneminde hızla kurulan geçici barınma alanları zamanla önemli fiziksel kırılganlıklar göstermiş, acil durumlar ve ikincil afetlerin odağı hâline gelmiştir. Bu çalışma, afet sonrası geçici barınma alanlarının yer seçimi ve uygunluğunu değerlendirmek amacıyla çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) yöntemleri ile Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS) tabanlı bütünleşik bir model önermektedir. Depremden sonraki iki yıl içinde geçici barınma alanlarında 155 yangın, 147 su baskını ve 4 fırtına olmak üzere toplam 306 olay meydana gelmiş; bu olaylar 16 kişinin yaşamını yitirmesine, 67 kişinin yaralanmasına ve 5.075 konteyner ile 420 çadırın zarar görmesine neden olmuştur. Yer seçimi kriterleri, PRISMA analiziyle belirlenen literatür verilerinin 15 uzmanın katıldığı Delphi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmesi sonucunda 25 kritere indirgenmiştir. Nötrosofik DEMATEL yöntemiyle kriterler ağırlıklandırılmış ve en önemli kriterlerin hazır yerleşim planları ile tahliye kolaylığı olduğu belirlenmiştir. AHS ve CBS entegrasyonu ile Hatay merkezinin uygunluk haritası oluşturulmuş, mevcut konteyner kentlerin yalnızca %36’sının uygun alanlarda bulunduğu, bazılarının ise taşkın ovasında yer aldığı saptanmıştır. Jenks Doğal Kırılma yöntemiyle belirlenen küçük, orta ve büyük ölçekli alanlar için 65 alternatif barınma alanı tasarlanmış; bu alanlar Nötrosofik TOPSIS ve VIKOR yöntemleriyle sıralanmıştır. Spearman korelasyonu ve Monte Carlo simülasyonu sonuçları, önerilen modelin farklı ölçeklerde güvenilir, tutarlı ve belirsizliklere karşı dayanıklı bir karar destek sistemi sunduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu sonuçlar, geliştirilen entegre modelin, büyük ve küçük ölçekli alanlar için yöntem bağımsız, güvenilir ve güçlü bir karar destek sistemi sunduğunu göstermektedir.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Scopus SJRQ1Measuring Perceived Social Support After Disaster: Development and Validation of the Perceived Social Support in Disasters Scale (PSSDS-28)
Oruç, Abdurrahman; Cengiz, Ekrem
Background/Objectives: Measuring perceived social support after disaster remains an unresolved psychometric problem. Most instruments do not jointly capture the source of support (from whom it comes) and its function (how it operates). None has been validated in a disaster-survivor sample with retrospectively framed items. We developed and validated the Perceived Social Support in Disasters Scale (PSSDS-28), a 28-item measure integrating both dimensions. Methods: In Phase 1, a PRISMA 2020-guided systematic review; a two-round Delphi with eight experts, cognitive interviews (n = 12); and a pilot study (N = 150) produced a 31-item form. In Phase 2, face-to-face data were collected from 607 adults affected by the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes (Türkiye). Multiple analytic frameworks converged on a five-factor, 28-item structure comprising family–relative, social environment, institutional, emotional, and instrumental–informational support. Results: The correlated five-factor model fit the independent validation sample well (CFI = 0.954, RMSEA = 0.076, and SRMR = 0.072) and outperformed a one-factor alternative (ΔCFI = 0.222). Blocks showed strong internal consistency (ordinal α = 0.852–0.949), composite reliability (0.865–0.950), and adequate test–retest stability (ICC = 0.542–0.909). Scalar measurement invariance held across six groupings, with no meaningful differential item functioning. Convergent and discriminant evidence supported construct validity, and common-method variance was negligible. Institutional (M = 3.29) and instrumental–informational support (M = 2.99) scored lowest—a profile a global score would conceal. Conclusions: The PSSDS-28 provides promising initial psychometric evidence for a multidimensional post-disaster assessment instrument situated at the perceived–received interface, a target that general-purpose scales are not designed to capture. Criterion-related validity, cross-cultural validity, and cross-disaster replicability remain to be demonstrated.

Yücel, Hasan; Cengiz, Sevil
Given Türkiye’s high seismic risk, earthquake preparedness is vital. This study explored factors affecting earthquake preparedness behaviors among residents in high-risk areas. The factors affecting earthquake preparedness behaviors Scale based on protection motivation theory was developed, and its validity was tested. Scale development consists of a pilot and main application process. The pilot application was carried out with 50 participants, and the main application was carried out with 804 participants. The sample consisted of 804 participants who were divided into two groups for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The sample was selected from 11 neighborhoods using the cluster sampling method. IBM SPSS 25 was used for exploratory factor analysis, while AMOS 24.0 was employed for confirmatory factor analysis. The final version of the scale consists of 24 items across four dimensions, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.883, exceeding the acceptable threshold of 0.7 for each dimension. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin value is 0.898, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity is significant, with the total variance explained being 51%. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicate a good fit for both the measurement and structural models (χ2/df = 1.779; RMSEA = 0.44; CFI = 0.96; NFI = 0.91; TLI = 0.95; p<0.001). Structural equation modeling showed that, among the constructs of protection motivation theory, perceived efficacy (β = 0.690) is the most important factor affecting earthquake preparedness behaviors. The results show that the scale is a valid and reliable tool to determine the factors affecting earthquake preparedness behaviors in Turkish society.

Objective: This study aimed to validate and ensure the reliability of the Turkish version of the Vitality Questionnaire, which captures traits advantageous for survival, to aid in systematic preparations for future disasters and life challenges. Method: In this study, the Scale of Eight Personal Characteristics Related to Vitality was translated into Turkish by three language experts, validity and reliability analyses were conducted, and a pilot test was carried out with 30 participants. Subsequently, between February 1 and March 1, 2024, online data were collected from 523 individuals across Turkey who had experienced disasters. Results: The average age of participants was 24.09 ± 7.60 years; 72.7% (n = 380) were female. Among participants, 79.2% (n = 359) had experienced an earthquake, 65.1% (n = 56) a flood, and 47.4% (n = 9) a fire. Analysis of the Eight Personal Traits Scale showed the original 8-factor structure was retained, with all item factor loadings above 0.40 and an explained variance of 61.180%. Therefore, no items were removed, and the 8-subdimension structure was accepted. Factor loadings ranged between 0.34 and 0.83. Internal consistency, evaluated through split-half reliability, was found to be at an acceptable level. Conclusion: The analysis and evaluations conducted in this study concluded that the Eight Personal Traits Scale Related to Disaster Vitality is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the Turkish sample in identifying personal traits in the face of disasters.

Social media facilitates crisis management and emergency response efforts by disseminating disaster information during disasters. Understanding the positive and negative contributions of social media to disaster management after devastating disasters will make social media more effective and efficient for crisis management in the future. The objective of this study was to investigate the public's social media use in the 15-day period after the earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023, in Türkiye. The study was designed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The data were collected from 1698 people residing in Türkiye via a survey method and analyzed via descriptive, ordinal logistic regression, and thematic analysis. The thoughts of 245 participants regarding social media use were analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that social media was employed as a powerful resource for sharing information after the earthquakes. The participants used Instagram the most and followed the social media accounts of the institutions the most. Posting the physical and psychological damage of earthquakes and humanitarian aid negatively affected the participants and caused them to think that social media was useless. Due to the information shared by social media phenomena and nongovernmental organizations, the participants stated that social media was useful after the earthquakes. For people to share posts that will contribute to search and rescue, aid and damage assessment on reliable and high-follower social media accounts, disaster managers, scientists and policy makers should understand communities' usage intentions, satisfaction and criticism regarding social media accounts and platforms during previous disasters.

Demirbilek, Ömer; Öztürk, Serkan
A functional and sufficient volunteer community is needed to reduce the damage of disasters and to have a rapid response and recovery process. Most of the volunteering studies in disasters in the literature focus on the positive side of the volunteering process, but there are many negative points that prevent individuals from volunteering in disasters. In this research, it is aimed to discover why university students, who are one of the most valuable groups in volunteering in disasters, do not volunteer in disasters. The research was conducted with a phenomenological design. Maximum variation and criterion sampling were used to decide the study group. The study group consists of thirteen university students with distinctive characteristics. The interview method was used as the data collection technique, and the semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers was used as the data collection tool. Thematic analysis was conducted with the MAXQDA 2020 qualitative analysis program on the obtained data. As a result of the data analysis, seven themes appeared, consisting of İnformation, Economy, Interpersonal Bonds, Uncertainties, Individual Characteristics, Perceptions of Volunteering, Promotion and Advertising Activities. Finding the negative aspects of volunteering that distracts young people from volunteering will be one of the best preparations for future disasters.

Mızrak, Sefa; Çam, Handan
The effects of natural and technological disasters on human, the environment, economy and social life can be prevented via scientific and technological developments. Especially, international scientific studies provide a better understanding of the nature, characteristics and effects of disasters. Therefore, a more resilient community can be built after disasters by reducing the damages of disasters at national and international level. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the disaster resilience of countries. In this study, by analyzing the data of 181 countries in 2018 and 2019, the rate of total population affected by disasters was employed as dependent variable and the factors indicating the development level of countries as independent variables. The data were analyzed with the help of ArcGIS 10.7 program using ordinary least squares regression analysis that reveals general relationships and geographical weighted regression analysis that shows local relationships across study area. In conclusion, in the general model, compulsory education duration in 2018 was the only variable that positively and significantly predicted the rate of total population affected by disasters. While neonatal mortality rate and unemployment predicted positively and significantly the rate of total population affected by disasters in 2019, urban population rate predicted negatively and significantly. The effect of all the independent variables on the rate of total population affected by disasters differed depending on time and region. The result of this study is expected to contribute to the national and international organizations responsible for disaster risk reduction efforts to prepare more effective and efficient disaster plans. In addition, the method and approach of this study may give an idea to scientists investigating on disasters.

Background: Emergency medical staff working in pre-hospital (PH-staff) may encounter mass casualty incident (MCI) events. In these events these medical personnel should perform triage. The objective of this study is to determine the skill and knowledge levels of PH-staff about Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) triage. Methods: With this cross-sectional, observational study we analyzed data from 127 PH-staff. Data was collected with the survey tool (response rate = 74.7%). Kruskal-Wallis H Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, and Spearman's Correlation analyzes were used in the data analysis by means of SPSS Software. Results: Of the participants, 63% were men, the median age was 24 years, 88 PH-staff (69.3%) intervened in MCI events, and 37 PH-staff (29.1%) applied START triage. The skill score was 60% and the knowledge score was 72.5%. There was a weak positive correlation between knowledge and skill scores (r = 0.337, p < 0.01). The knowledge level of the emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics was higher than those from the other professions. Conclusions: The triage knowledge and skill levels of the PH-staff were not low contrary to the expectations. The triage knowledge and skill levels of professions that did not have pre-hospital training such as paramedics and EMTs were low.

Worldwide studies show that gender is an important variable affecting disaster risk perception and that women have high levels of disaster risk perception. The objective of this study is to investigate women’s earthquake risk perception as well as the factors that may help predict it. The data of the study were collected from 463 women living in Kocaeli (Turkey) by survey method. The study, which employed ordinary logistic regression analysis, analysed whether the same dependent variable was predicted by different independent variables in five models. Many of the women who participated in the research reported that they were more sensitive to earthquakes. The items with the highest mean among women's affective and cognitive risk perception factors are the items that measure fear and financial perception, respectively. Education and age significantly help predict women’s earthquake risk perception. Living in dread of earthquakes and being depressed and worried for future generations make women feel more sensitive. This study has showed that all the underlying factors affecting women's disaster risk perception should be understood more deeply. It is thought that the results of the study will contribute to studies related to disaster management, risk perception, and women.

The data of the study were collected from 617 students and analyzed by means of SPSS and AMOS programs. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis H test, and structural equation model were applied. Consequently, a valid and reliable scale consisting of four factors (exposure, anxiety, effect, and uncontrollable) was obtained. According to the students, rockfall was most likely to occur on campus. Gender and type of school had a significant effect on disaster risk perception, while disaster experience, disaster education, disaster volunteer, and class level did not have a significant effect on disaster risk perception. Students with chronic illness had significantly higher perceptions of the uncontrollable. The structural equation model showed that exposure, effect, and uncontrollable were significant and positive predictors of anxiety.
