Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the disaster awareness levels and institutional responsibility perceptions of international students in Turkey. Turkey is a country that is prone to natural disasters, and it is important to receive disaster training to be prepared for disasters. Turkey hosts more than three hundred thousand international students from 198 different countries. Bartın is one of the cities where international students receive education. Bartın is a risky city in terms of disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides. This is why it is highly important for international students living in Bartın to receive disaster training. Other important issues include which institutions they would reach in a disaster situation, how they would reach them, and how they should act during a disaster. It was determined that 40 % of the participants had not received disaster training and were not sufficiently knowledgeable about relevant institutions. It was also observed that some of the responses of the participants were influenced by their gender, age, duration of living in Turkey, whether there was a risk of disasters in their home country, disaster experiences, whether they experienced loss in disasters, and whether they had received disaster-related training.

土耳其留学生对灾害的认识水平和对机构责任的看法

本研究旨在调查土耳其留学生的灾害意识水平和机构责任感。土耳其是一个自然灾害频发的国家，接受防灾培训以做好防灾准备非常重要。土耳其接纳了来自198个不同国家的30多万名留学生。巴特恩是留学生接受教育的城市之一。就地震、洪水和山体滑坡等灾害而言，巴特恩是一个风险较高的城市。因此，对居住在巴特恩的留学生来说，接受防灾培训非常重要。其他重要问题还包括：在发生灾害时，他们会联系哪些机构，如何联系这些机构，以及在发生灾害时应如何行动。结果发现，40% 的参与者没有接受过灾害培训，对相关机构的了解也不够。调查还发现，参与者的某些回答受其性别、年龄、在土耳其的居住时间、本国是否存在灾害风险、灾害经历、是否在灾害中遭受过损失以及是否接受过与灾害有关的培训等因素的影响。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction (IJDRR) is the journal for researchers, policymakers and practitioners across diverse disciplines: earth sciences and their implications; environmental sciences; engineering; urban studies; geography; and the social sciences. IJDRR publishes fundamental and applied research, critical reviews, policy papers and case studies with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary research that aims to reduce the impact of natural, technological, social and intentional disasters. IJDRR stimulates exchange of ideas and knowledge transfer on disaster research, mitigation, adaptation, prevention and risk reduction at all geographical scales: local, national and international. Key topics:- -multifaceted disaster and cascading disasters -the development of disaster risk reduction strategies and techniques -discussion and development of effective warning and educational systems for risk management at all levels -disasters associated with climate change -vulnerability analysis and vulnerability trends -emerging risks -resilience against disasters. The journal particularly encourages papers that approach risk from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
