Özet
Increasing women's resilience against earthquake fear and educating them about disaster risks, promoting gender equality (SDG 5) and strengthening women's leadership are seen as important approaches in disaster management. This study aims to investigate the effect of women's fear of earthquakes on their perception of earthquake risk. It was designed as a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study, conducted with women aged 18 and older living in Türkiye. Data for the study were collected between April 28, 2024, and August 15, 2024, using the "Socio-Demographic Information Form," the "Fear of Earthquake Scale," and the "Earthquake Risk Perception Scale." According to the results, employed participants had lower earthquake fear scores. Participants with moderate economic status had higher earthquake fear scores compared to those with better economic status. A strong positive (r=0.752) and significant (p<0.05) relationship was found between fear of earthquakes and earthquake risk perception. The fear of earthquakes and earthquake risk perceptions of the participants increase significantly together, demonstrating a strong correlation. Researchers examined the effects of earthquake fear on the earthquake risk perception of women living in Türkiye from various perspectives and the important findings can guide policy makers in creating gender equality (SDG 5) policies in disaster management.
