    Bostan, Sedat; Yaprak, Unal

    Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the vulnerability levels of Turkey in terms of natural disasters and to guide decision makers and strategists in this field. In the study, disaster data obtained for 1987-2011 were used, and the disaster of type was most observed in our country. Materials and Methods: Data vulnerability indices against the disasters were calculated using a Data Envelopment Analysis Program (DEAP) 2.1 program with a Data envelopment analysis-based output-oriented Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Index method. Results: The regions of Turkey, which have the highest vulnerability index for the disasters, were TRA2 (0.323), TRB2 (0.305), and TRB1 (0.287) regions. In addition, it was seen that in the Black Sea region, the TR82 (0.267) region was more vulnerable than the other places of the region. In this study, a picture of the whole country over a period of 25 years in terms of disasters was captured. Conclusion: In the picture, it is seen that economic and social costs endured due to disasters are separated into two regions starting from the region of Eastern Anatolia and the north branch extends across the Black Sea region and the other south branch reaches to the Mediterranean.

    Inal, Ebru; Kocagöz, Semanur; Turan, Meliksah

    Objectives The behaviors of individuals during disasters are determined by their level of disaster readiness and their knowledge of disaster threats. The aim of this research was to determine the basic disaster consciousness levels of individuals between the ages of 18 and 23. Methods The study included 291 students from Kelkit Aydin Dogan vocational school at the University of Gumushane. Each student completed a questionnaire with 10 informative questions about disaster consciousness. The data were evaluated using the chi-square test and the t-test. Results Not all 291 students answered each question. Of 285 students, 74.0% had not received any education on disaster preparedness. Of 249 students, 85.9% did not have a disaster preparedness plan. Of 266 students, 88.7% did not have an emergency kit. Out of 10 possible points, participants received 3.00 +/- 1.58 points on average for disaster preparedness. Conclusions The point average for student participants was quite low. Previous disaster training significantly increased the number of points received by participants. Disaster training should be extended to a wider range of individuals.
