    Assessment of Local-Level Community Resilience within the Scope of a Disaster-Resilient City: The Case of Türkiye
    (Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2025) Ozturk, Goksel; Bilgili, Alper
    This study aimed to assess community resilience to disasters at the local level in Turkey. In this study, a community disaster-resilience index (CDRI) consisting of five subdimensions and 34 basic indicators based on the disaster-resilience of place model was developed. The developed CDRI was applied for 81 provinces in Turkey. In order to reach the data in the determined subdimensions, current data on the websites of the Turkish Statistical Institute, the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, and the General Directorate of Highways were accessed. The data obtained were analyzed using Analysis of Moment Structures 23 and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software Version 25 (IBM SPSS 25) programs, and general resilience scores were obtained at the provincial level. In addition, Geographic Information System software was used to reveal the spatial distribution of the provinces according to their resilience scores. As a result of the application of the CDRI developed in the second stage, it was observed that the majority of the provinces in Turkey had medium and above disaster-resilience levels. In addition, when the resilience scores of the provinces were evaluated according to the subdimensions of CDRI, it was found that the highest scores were in economic resilience and the lowest scores were in community capacity subdimensions. Therefore, it may be recommended to make plans to increase community capacity. Furthermore, the developed CDRI is expected to guide disaster management policies and investments.

    Attitudes of Students in Medical and Health Sciences Faculties Toward Syrians and Influential Factors
    (Springer, 2025) Tanriverdi, Guelbu; Bakar, Coskun; Gursoy, Melike Yalcin; Ozturk, Goksel
    This study examines the attitudes of students in Medical and Health Sciences faculties in Turkey toward Syrians and identifies the factors shaping these attitudes. 465 students were included in the cross-sectional study. Data were collected via an online survey form, which included demographic questions and the Attitudes Towards Syrians Scale. The survey included demographic questions and the Attitudes Toward Syrians Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and linear regression analysis were employed for data analysis. Age was negatively correlated with discrimination scores (r=-0.203, p < 0.001), suggesting that older students exhibited lower levels of discrimination. Students with negative experiences involving Syrians had significantly higher discrimination scores (p < 0.001). Those perceiving fewer cultural similarities also had higher discrimination scores (p < 0.001). Faculty differences were significant, with Health Sciences students displaying higher discrimination scores than medical students (p = 0.008). Among departments, Emergency and Disaster Management students reported the highest levels of discrimination (p < 0.001). Age, cultural perceptions, and personal experiences influence students' attitudes toward Syrians. Cultural awareness programs and opportunities for positive interactions may help reduce discrimination, particularly among younger students and those with limited cultural engagement. These findings emphasize the importance of inclusive education policies in fostering social cohesion within healthcare settings.
