The industrialization that began to rise in the 1950s in Türkiye due to its impact has led to a dense housing demand from rural to urban areas. As seen in every developing country, in response to this need, informal construction and slum development have also affected our country. This process has brought along fundamental urban living problems. Additionally, the mentioned illegal construction is an extra risky situation for countries like Turkey, which is located in 42% of the first-degree earthquake zone. Urban regeneration has been considered an important tool from the past to the present for overcoming the mentioned urban problems and creating earthquake-resistant cities. In this study, the focal point is the consistency and contradictions of the “Twelfth Development Plan (2024-2028)” which is published in the 100th year of the Republic and the amendments to the “Law on the Regeneration of Areas at Risk of Disaster” on the urban regeneration process. In this way, it is aimed to contribute to the preparation of more compatible and inclusive urban regeneration regulations in terms of both plans and legal legislation. The inclusion of the topic of urban regeneration in the Twelfth Development Plan has been positively received. However, it might take time for these policies to be successful without developing programs that will encourage society and determining current real estate values. In the new regulation published under Law No. 7471 aims to solve the property problems mainly arising after the Kahramanmaraş disaster on February 6, 2023. It also addresses “simple majority” and “financial aid”, while topics such as “tenant rights” and “strengthening of buildings” are not mentioned. As a result, it is believed that a harmonized examination of the development plan that serves the development of the country as a whole and the new legal regulation focusing on the regeneration of areas under absolute disaster risk might contribute to smoother urban regeneration regulations and implementation processes.

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic, which led to an urgent public health problem, is a biological disaster that had a global impact. This study aimed to examine the views of the nurses on the "superhero" discourse in the media in this disaster.Methods: The phenomenological research method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The research was carried out between February – April 2022 with 23 nurses working in intensive care clinics.Results: In this study, the views of nurses who worked in the intensive care unit during the COVID-19 pandemic on the "superhero" discourse in the media were investigated under the themes of rise of heroism (being noticed, heroic discourse for higher efficiency, forced hero) invisibility of heroism (invisibility before the pandemic, invisibility during the pandemic) and death of heroism (the applause, I'm real… not a toy) . The findings of the study revealed that the contribution of nursing to the health system is a little more visible in crisis conditions such as pandemic.Conclusion: The visibility that emerges as "heroism" or "superheroism", the vulnerability of nurses as human beings is ignored. This “professional invisibility and heroic visibility” emerges as a paradox, and nursing either becomes “invisible” as a profession or the needs of nurses for “material and moral support” as heroes can be ignored. During crisis periods such as pandemic, the vulnerability of nurses resulting from heavy working conditions should be taken into account and nurses should be supported physically, financially and morally.

ABSTRACT:This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the research that has significantly impacted the advancement of disaster management models and approaches since the early 20th century. This review article focuses on scholarly papers indexed in Web of Science and Scopus, which present disaster management models. The selection criteria for these articles were based on their circular models or visual representations of disaster and crisis management from a diverse range of perspectives since 1920. Various disciplines, including public administration, sociology, geography, psychology, and civil defence, have shaped disaster management. Before the 1970s, pioneers in the field, including Prince (1920), Carr (1932), Powell (1954), Chapman (1962), and Stoddard (1968), analysed the impact of disasters on society, and their studies were a significant contribution to the development of disaster management. The circular disaster management model was first introduced by Baird et al. in 1975, focusing on relief-based initiatives. In 1987, Mitroff and fellow researchers delved deeper into the subject, exploring reactive and proactive approaches while integrating the notion of vulnerability. Later models incorporated entitlements such as development, economic progress, risk, hazard, and strategic planning. As time passed, these models grew more extensive and all-encompassing. Nevertheless, disaster management still requires further advancement to tackle crucial challenges like climate change, sustainable development goals, resilience, and the Sendai risk reduction framework. It is recommended that these issues be addressed under the leadership of public administration. ÖZ:Bu çalışmanın amacı 20. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren ortaya konulan afet yönetim modellerinin ve yaklaşımlarının kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirmesini yapmaktır. Makalede, Web of Science ve Scopus'ta indekslenen ve döngüsel veya entegre afet yönetim modeli öneren bilimsel çalışmalar ele alınmıştır. Yapılan taramalarda “afet yönetim modeli” anahtar kelimesi ile 1920 yılından itibaren çeşitli modeller ve yaklaşımlar öneren çalışmalar seçilmiş ve bu çalışmalar kapsamlı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Kamu yönetimi, sosyoloji, coğrafya, psikoloji ve sivil savunma gibi çeşitli disiplinler, afet yönetim modellerinin gelişiminde önemli rol oynamıştır. 1970'lerden önce Prince (1920), Carr (1932), Powell (1954), Chapman (1962) ve Stoddard (1968) gibi alanın öncüleri afetlerin toplum üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmiş ve afet yönetiminin gelişimine önemli katkılar sunmuşlardır. Döngüsel veya entegre afet yönetimi modelinin ilk olarak Baird ve arkadaşları tarafından 1975 yılında önerildiği görülmektedir. Sonrasında Mitroff ve arkadaşları 1987'de bu konuyu genişleterek reaktif ve proaktif yaklaşımları inceleyip kırılganlık kavramını sürece dâhil etmişlerdir. Takip eden çalışmalarda afet yönetim modelleri kalkınma, ekonomik ilerleme, risk, tehlike ve stratejik planlama gibi başlıkları içererek daha yoğun ve kapsayıcı hale gelmiştir. Ancak afet yönetim modelleri içerisinde, iklim değişikliği, sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri, dirençlilik ve Sendai risk azaltma çerçevesi gibi kritik konuların daha fazla yer alması ihtiyacı her geçen gün artmaktadır. Özellikle Kamu Yönetimi öncülüğünde bu konuların ele alınması önerilmektedir.

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the relationship between psychological resilience, physical activity, and disaster response self-efficacy levels among nursing students. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 152 students enrolled in the 3rd and 4th years of the Nursing Department undergraduate program. The data collection instruments included an individual characteristics data form, the Brief Resilience Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF), and the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale (DRSES). Results: Of the participants, 73.0 % were female and 27.0% were male. The participants' mean age was 22.46±3.901 years (range: 21-26 years). The total physical activity score of the participants was 2224.74±2560.249 MET-min/week, with mean scores of 17.38±4.96 for the Brief Resilience Scale and 57.73±13.87 for the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale. Statistically significant and positive correlations were found between psychological resilience and physical activity level (r=0.203, p<0.05), as well as between psychological resilience and disaster response self-efficacy (r=0.196, p<0.05). Conclusion: Adequate preparation should be made at the national and local levels to improve the disaster response self-efficacy, psychological resilience, and physical activity of nurses and nursing students in dealing with disasters.

Background: This study was conducted to determine the psychological preparedness of nurses for disaster threat, their perceptions of social support and the factors influencing them. Materials and Methods: The descriptive study was conducted in Sanlıurfa Mehmet Akif Inan Training and Research Hospital between 10 July and 10 August 2024. The sample consisted of 311 nurses. Descriptive information form, Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale and Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale were used to collect the data. Independent simple t-test, one-way analysis test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. Results: The mean scores of the nurses participating in the study were 65.52 ± 9.72 on the Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale, 27.89 ± 4.76 on the External Situational Environment Knowledge and Management subscale, 28.03 ± 4.79 on the Management of the Person's Emotional and Psychological Response subscale, and 9.59 ± 1.69 on the Management of the Person's Social Environment subscale. The nurses' mean scores on the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale were 55.66 ± 21.67, the mean scores on the family sub-dimension of the social support scale were 18.35 ± 7.57, the mean scores on the friend sub-dimension were 18.48 ± 7.38, and the mean scores on the special person sub-dimension were 18.85 ± 7.63. Conclusions: In this study, it was found that having disaster preparedness plans at home and receiving disaster-related training affected the mean scores of the psychological preparedness scale for disaster threat and the multidimensional perceived social support scale. Marital status and employment status were also found to affect mean scores on the multidimensional perceived social support scale. Nurses should receive regular disaster preparedness training. This is because it is predicted that these trainings will help prepare nurses for their roles and responsibilities in the event of a disaster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study focuses on the migration processes, lives in the new settlements, and expectations for the future of elderly individuals who migrated after the February 6 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. The aim of this research is to examine social effects of forced migration from the perspective of elderly individuals and to reveal their life experiences after forced migration. The research was carried out in a field research model. It is case study based. Information was collected about 15 individuals over the age of 65 with a semi-structured interview form. In the study, it was determined that the process of each elderly person experiencing migration differs and that cultural structure, economic situation, psychological characteristics and personality traits of the individual are decisive in this. The fact that the place where elderly individuals migrated was their hometown and was close to the place where the migration originated positively affected their adaptation to the environment. It has been determined that migrating individuals experience problems in terms of health, transportation, lack of economic income, shopping opportunities, loneliness and fear of earthquakes. The majority of the elderly were found willing to migrate back. It is hoped that this study will be useful in determining targets for supporting elderly individuals after forced migration.

On 5.9.2023, flash floods occurred in Igneada town of Demirkoy district of Kırklareli province, which caused serious loss of life and property. Since this unfortunate event was a natural hazard with a hydro-meteorological characteristic, it occurred at the river basin scale. Therefore, the present study aims to systematically reveal the chain of events leading to the flash floods in the Degirmen River basin, where the natural hazard occurred. The study data were processed and interpreted in the light of the relevant literature within the framework of the findings obtained from office and field studies. At this stage, the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) method was used to determine how and why the event occurred and how to prevent similar problems from occurring again. As a result of the study, it was determined that flash floods caused by sudden torrential rains led to high-energy water flows on the slope lands depending on topographic features. Consequently, they forced the transportation of materials of various sizes. The materials coming from the river's upper basin with strong flash floods with irregularly changing flow rates triggered flooding in places where the slope of the river bed decreased. However, this natural event has become a natural hazard in the lower basin due to the wrong land use caused by the negative anthropogenic effects of human beings on the natural environment.

The effects of disasters are not limited to humans only; these disasters are also an important risk factor for animals. Today, the issue of animal rights are often neglected in disaster. Within this context, the study will examine international policy documents, legal regulations, plans, programs, and practices regarding disaster management and animal rights. In the study, it was determined that national level policy documents, legal regulations about disaster management in Turkey have a human-oriented perspective and activities carried out before, during and after the disaster are not sufficent. The study emphasizes that the disaster management system should not only be human-focused but also that all life forms, including animals, should have equal rights to life and self-realization. Including the issue of animal rights in the disaster management process will contribute to the realization of environmental and social justice and also the success of the disaster management process.

Disasters are events that affect normal life and require constant preparedness. It is an area that requires a special management approach as the results cannot be fully predicted. Disaster emergency management is a management field with its own characteristics that covers before, during and after the disaster and is also considered as integrated disaster management. The main thing in the pre-disaster period is to focus on awareness-raising and prevention activities. Post-disaster studies focus on activities such as recovery, repair, damage compensation and psychological support. These two periods of the process correspond mostly to the tasks that are under the responsibility of the central administration and that it can perform. The disaster sequence process is very closely related to the local government structure where the incident occurs. Therefore, disaster sequence management structure is an important issue in the success of intervention efforts. In this respect, the impact of local structure on disaster response efforts is also very vital. The aim of this study is to compare the disaster response capacity of local governments and the local disaster response capacity of the central administration through a sample municipality, focusing only on the intervention phase of the integrated disaster management process. Based on this, in this study, after the concepts of the field are given, information is given about the structure in Türkiye, the role and duties of local governments within this structure are revealed by examining legal texts. The structures of the examined institutions in their laws were examined, and the disaster emergency response data in the province of Gaziantep were evaluated by examining the documents and reports prepared for the activities of these institutions. When the number of response personnel, response equipment, machinery parks and other logistics facilities of the local administration unit and the local unit of the central administration are examined together, it is evaluated that the local administration unit is much faster and more effective in disaster response efforts. A structure that gives more authority to local governments in disaster response efforts has been proposed [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When it comes to disaster situations, disasters are mostly considered to be physical phenomena. However, disasters are a social phenomenon as well as a physical phenomenon. The fact that disasters are a social phenomenon requires examining them from a sociological perspective. Disasters, with the crises they cause, are like a social laboratory for sociology, which emerges with the search for solutions to the crises of modern society. Based on this reality, the present study examines disasters in the context of certain sociological concepts. In the study, disaster readings on the axis of mass panic, solidarity, conflict and gender, which are frequently used concepts in the sociological evaluation of disasters, are included. These sociological perspectives on disasters explain how disasters do not have a single dimension but can lead to situations that may conflict with each other simultaneously. While in studies focusing on mass panic, it is emphasized that the first reaction immediately after disasters is mass panic, which leads to social disintegration; in studies focusing on solidarity, it is emphasized that the behavioral pattern that emerges immediately after the earthquake is more cooperation and that disasters lead to strong altruistic norms in people. In studies focusing on evaluation on the axis of conflict, interests and the political dimension of the disaster are discussed, and it is emphasized that conflict will be inevitable in the allocation of blame and the allocation of resources. Studies examining the effects of disaster on men and women in the context of gender roles, based on the vulnerability paradigm, it is emphasized that women and men are not equally affected by disasters and that women are mostly in a disadvantaged position.

It is possible for individuals to get out of the effects of psychological trauma, which occurs as a result of being negatively affected by the events they have experienced, and to regain normal conditions through planned methods. One of these methods is psychological first aid. The aim of this study is to reveal the importance of librarians having psychological first aid skills through the selected sample and to offer solutions by addressing the problems in this regard. The findings of the study are based on the evaluation of the observations and experiences of volunteer librarians who went to the earthquake zone and provided library services after the disaster centered in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023. Within the scope of the research, a semistructured questionnaire was used in face-to-face interviews with nine librarians. The data were analyzed using descriptive content analysis. The findings show that librarians provide both basic librarianship services and services in various themes depending on the expectations and needs of the people in the earthquake zone, children in the earthquake zone are more interested in games and recreational activities in the mobile library, and adults need people with whom they can share their feelings and thoughts. Based on the observations and experiences of librarians in the earthquake zone, the study concluded that librarians should receive psychological first aid training and improve their knowledge and skills in this area. As a result of the evaluation, it was suggested that librarians and expert psychologists should work together to create materials for library-based psychological first aid training. What makes this research unique and different from the studies on psychological first aid in the information science literature is that it was planned by putting librarians at the center and the results were obtained with an evidence-based approach based on the real experiences of librarians. It is thought that this research will fill an important gap in the national literature since there is no evidence-based scientific publication that deals with psychological first aid and librarians together.

Earthquakes that cause the mass deaths occur frequently. In this article, it is aimed to contribute to the development of the response structure in our country by evaluating the identification studies performed on the field during the Kahramanmaraş earthquake, and a research in the case study pattern has been planned. Data was evaluated through planning, wreckage, identification and burial headings. It was observed that there were deficiencies in planning of the identification; documentation and victim tracking systems couldn't be fully performed in wreckages; many bodies were agglomerated in identification areas and burials were fullfilled in line with numbers given by prosecution offices. It has been evaluated there was a lack of knowledge and awareness regarding disaster management and identification. In this context, planning should be made covering the identification process, in which the main solution partner is the Ministry of Justice. Relevant cadres required for disaster management and identification should be created in institutions, the experts should be employed in there and identification teams should be established. Triage algorithms should be created for identification areas. Necessary arrangements should be made in legislation for scene documentation by the emergency response teams and the participation of expert volunteers in the identification process.

Disasters are inevitable facts of life. It is difficult to deal with disasters and emergencies because of the uncertainties they contain. Managing disasters and emergencies requires integrity with before and after processes. No matter how well-informed people may be when faced with a disaster, they may not act consciously due to the shock of the event, fear and anxiety. Therefore, the recovery phase after a disaster is very important. In the presented paper, meeting areas after a disaster for Istanbul, which is one of the closest witnesses of the earthquake reality, were examined. The motivation of the paper is to evaluate the assembly areas in Istanbul on the basis of all districts under expert opinions and to compare and rank the suitability of the currently existing emergency assembly areas for the expected major Istanbul earthquake. This ranking was made by the help of the fuzzy logic integration of the Multi Attributive Ideal Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA) method, which is one of the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Techniques (MCDM). It is thought that this ranking will be useful in revealing the current situation of the districts and raising awareness. As far as is known, according to the results obtained from the paper in which the spherical fuzzy logic integrated MAIRCA technique was used for the first time, Kadıköy district was determined as the district with the best conditions assembly areas.

This study was conducted to determine the trauma levels of nursing students after the great Kahramanmaraş earthquake in Turkey. This study is cross-sectional and descriptive. A total of 365 nursing students made up the study's sample. The "Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale" and the "Introductory Characteristics Information Form" were used to gather data. The total score average of the Students' Post-Earthquake Trauma Level Determination Scale was found to be 57.78±16.62 for the current sample. In the study, it was determined that the post-earthquake trauma levels of female students, those whose homes were heavily damaged, those whose relatives were trapped under rubble, and those who had problems finding food and water immediately after the earthquake were statistically significantly higher(p<0.05). Among the scale sub-score averages, cognitive structuring, emotional limitation and affective sub-dimension average scores were found to be high. After the disaster, necessary trainings can be urgently planned in schools to reduce and prevent the trauma that may occur in students. It may also be recommended that psychological counseling and guidance services be provided effectively in schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Depremler, neden olduğu yıkım nedeniyle dünyanın her yerinde bireyler üzerinde önemli ölçüde travmalara neden olmaktadır. Depremler, yer kabuğu hareketliliği olarak jeolojik kökenli bir faaliyet iken, toplumsal sistemin devam ettiği alanda oluşturduğu etki nedeniyle önemli sosyal sonuçları olan doğal afetlerdir. Ekonomik ve psikolojik boyutta önemli ölçüde yıkımlara neden olan bu afet, sosyal yaşam ve düzeni üzerinde oluşturduğu etkileri de göz önüne alındığında, toplumsal sistemi kökten etkileyecek değişimlere neden olmakta ve sosyolojik boyutta da önemli sonuçlar ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma depremin neden olduğu toplumsal değişimleri ve tahribatı, dayanışma pratikleri ve gerilim hatları çerçevesinde irdelemektedir. Dolayısıyla çalışmada, deprem sonrası toplumsal dayanışma pratiklerinin ve yönetiminin sonucundaki gerilim hatlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde meydana gelen depremler sonucunda çeşitli illerden göç etmek zorunda kalmış 15 depremzede ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmeler çerçevesinde elde edilen veriler parçalanarak kodlanmış, benzer kodlar bir araya getirilerek temalar oluşturulmuştur. Yapılan değerlendirmeler; kaynakların eşit olmayan dağılımı (ya da algısı), iletişim sorunları ve ihtiyaç tespitinin etkinliği başlıkları altında yorumlanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar ve yorumlar çerçevesinde çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

The increase in the frequency and severity of disasters in recent years brings along loss of life and economic damages. Türkiye is a seismically active region worldwide and more than 60 per cent of the deaths caused by disasters are related to earthquakes. Studies show that earthquake knowledge affects the resilience of society against disasters. This study was conducted to determine the level of earthquake knowledge of individuals and the factors associated with it. The study group consisted of 403 students studying at the Vocational School of Health Services of a state university located in the Western Black Sea Region of Türkiye. In order to evaluate the level of knowledge of the participants about earthquakes, the previously developed Earthquake Knowledge Level Scale was analysed using quantitative methods. When the results of the research are examined, it is seen that there is significance in the results of the analyses according to the variables of gender, experiencing disaster and receiving disaster education, while there is no significance in the variables such as programme of study, class level and willingness to receive disaster education. In the gender variable, the knowledge of male students about the distribution of earthquake zones was found to be higher than the knowledge of female students about the distribution of earthquake zones. In the disaster experience variable, the earthquake knowledge levels of the students who experienced a disaster were found to be higher than the students who did not experience a disaster. In the variable of receiving disaster education, the mean scores of the Earthquake Knowledge Level Scale were higher for the students who received disaster education than for the students who did not receive disaster education. In line with the results, the importance of disaster trainings to create knowledge and awareness about earthquake was understood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
