“…However, male students had a slightly higher mean score (𝑋̅ = 60.02) compared to female students (𝑋̅ = 59.89). Similar findings were reported by Sözen (2019) and Aksoy and Sözen (2014), while Kayalı's (2018) study yielded different results. Various studies have produced differing results regarding the impact of gender as a variable in natural disaster preparedness.…”

“…Earthquakes have a negative impact on education and training, as well as the physical environments in which these activities take place. Teachers, students, and their families may experience significant problems as a result (Aksoy & Sözen, 2014;Genç & Sözen, 2021;Karakuş, 2013;Kayalı, 2018;Türksever, 2021;Yıldız, 2000). Additionally, earthquakes have been shown to affect students' motivation and academic performance (Sert, 2002).…”

Earthquakes have a significant impact on social, economic, and educational aspects of life. The negative effects of earthquakes on education and training are well documented. It is crucial to be adequately prepared to minimize these effects. This study aims to investigate the earthquake awareness of university students from a sustainable perspective. The survey model, a quantitative research method, was employed in this study. The research study comprised of 200 male (36.10%) and 354 female (63.90%) students who voluntarily participated from a university in the Western Black Sea Region during the 2022-2023 academic year. The Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Scale results show an average of 3.23 (Undecided) for the first factor, Earthquake Structure Relationship, 2.32 (Disagree) for the second factor, Earthquake Preparation Application, and 2.27 (Disagree) for the third factor, Earthquake Preparedness. The overall mean of the scale was 2.61 (Undecided). The results indicate that university students are not adequately prepared for possible earthquakes. There is no significant difference in Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Levels between male and female university students in all sub-factors and the total scale. Furthermore, as the grade level of university students increases, their sustainable earthquake awareness also increases. Furthermore, there is a notable contrast in the earthquake awareness levels of students from the faculties of engineering, health, and theology, with engineering students exhibiting a higher level of awareness. The study found no statistically significant difference between the sustainable earthquake awareness levels of university students and the number of floors in the building where they reside, both in terms of sub-factors and the overall scale.

The study group of this research, which is planned to develop the Sustainable Scale of Earthquake Awareness, consists of the students studying at Duzce University in the academic year 2018-2019. 276 volunteer individuals (213 females, 63 males) participated to the research group determined by random sampling method. For confirmatory factor analysis, 434 female and 129 male volunteer students participated. 839 students, 647 of them were females (77,12%) and 192 of them were males (22,88%), supported the study. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis which is completed after testing the suitability of the data for analysis, the scale was constituted of three sub-factors consisting of 22 items. The factors that make up the scale explain 46,393% of the variance. The sub-factors of the scale were named based on the knowledge about the earthquake. The suitability of the obtained model was 0.072 for RMSEA; 0.90 for NFI, 0,89 for GFI, 0.063 for RMR and 0.86 for AGFI. As a result of the reliability analysis, the internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach alpha) of the scale was determined as 0.884. It is thought that this developed scale will provide support as a tool for educational purposes. It is recommended to carry out different researches that can help to investigate the awareness level about the earthquake with different variables.

Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin deprem bilgi düzeyleri ve sürdürülebilir deprem farkındalıkları arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın örneklem grubunu 2022-2023 öğretim yılı bahar döneminde Düzce Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören 657 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Sürdürülebilir Deprem Farkındalık Ölçeği (SDFÖ) ve Deprem Bilgi Düzeyi Ölçeği (DBDÖ) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; üniversite öğrencilerinin deprem bilgi düzeyleri ile sürdürülebilir deprem farkındalıkları arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Üniversite öğrencilerinin DBDÖ puanlarının orta ve yüksek düzeyde olduğu; ancak SDFÖ puanlarının düşük ve orta düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Cinsiyet açısından erkek öğrencilerin kadın öğrencilere göre “Deprem Etkileri Bilgisi” boyutunda anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek bilgiye sahip oldukları; kadın öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre “Deprem Yapı İlişkisi” boyutunda anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek farkındalığa sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir.
