Risk perception of people living in Turkey

In this study, a survey consisting of open-ended and closed-ended questions was conducted to measure the risk perceptions of people living in our society. In the research, a survey was conducted on people living in 5 different provinces (Istanbul, Aydın, Van, Malatya and Izmir), and in the prepared questions, it was examined whether our people had knowledge about Occupational Health and Safety and their risk perceptions and awareness were tried to be observed. In the survey consisting of 5 questions, a separate observation was tried to be made from each question. Care was taken to ensure that the participants in the survey were from different segments, different professions and different age ranges. A space has been created where they can easily present their opinions without being influenced by their private information being scrutinized too much. Evaluations were made as a result of the survey and an attempt was made to measure the risk perceptions of people living in our society in general After the study, it was determined that the risk perceptions of people living in Turkey are not sufficiently developed and should be studied in detail. It has been seen that risk perception is an important and fundamental concept that affects our lives positively or negatively throughout life, and that better quality and safer environments can be created with sufficient work on this basis.
