Abstract

This study was carried out in the first six months of the Covid-19 to investigate the Turkish citizens ' thoughts about government-based public social assistance provided by Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundations (SASFs) in Turkey. This research is conducted by 401 people covering a total of 1.344 household members. According to the main results, nearly 75 per cent of those who applied for social assistance belong to low income (unemployed and insufficient income). In addition, 56 per cent of first-time beneficiaries and 71 per cent of pre-pandemic social assistance recipients are satisfied with social assistance during the pandemic process. Without any gender and education differences, public social assistance demand is found at the highest level between the ages of 29-40, and the lowest level is at the age of 65+. Interestingly, satisfaction from public social assistance was differentiated according to the marital status of the beneficiaries receiving social assistance before Covid-19. Further from these, SASFs have caught a self-assessment opportunity to correct their deficiency for future similar situations.

对土耳其2019冠状病毒病期间接受公共社会援助公民观点的调查

本研究是在新冠疫情的头六个月进行的，目的是调查土耳其公民对土耳其社会援助和团结基金会(sasf)提供的基于政府的公共社会援助的看法。这项研究是对401人进行的，涵盖了1344个家庭成员。根据主要结果，申请社会援助的人中近75%属于低收入者(失业和收入不足)。此外，56%的首次受益人和71%的大流行病前社会援助受助人对大流行病期间的社会援助感到满意。公共社会救助需求在29-40岁年龄段最高，65岁以上年龄段最低，没有性别和学历差异。有趣的是，在新冠疫情前，社会救助对象的婚姻状况不同，对公共社会救助的满意度也有所不同。此外，sasf已经抓住了自我评估的机会，以纠正其不足，以应对未来类似的情况。

期刊介绍： The Eastern Journal of European Studies (EJES) seeks to provide a forum for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue between ideas, and a framework for theoretical and empirical analyses covering major topics in European studies: European history, politics, European economy and European policies, EU community law, European culture and society. EJES encourages studies focusing on Central and Eastern Europe (including Eastern Neighbourhood) in order to better understand its transformations induced by the integration process and to address its specific challenges by supporting scientific debates on the general European theory and practice. Furthermore, the editorial board regularly invites distinguished guest editors to coordinate thematic issues.
