Özet

This study examined the levels of earthquake knowledge and attitudes toward earthquakes of disaster relief staff with respect to various variables. The study was conducted on 112 participants attending the in-service Disaster Education course conducted in December 2008 organized by Burdur Province Civil Defence Directorate. To reach the aim of the study, an earthquake knowledge scale and earthquake attitudes scale were administered to the participants. The participants' knowledge levels and their attitudes towards earthquakes were analyzed using the SPSS package program. Pearson ProductMoment correlation calculation was performed to determine the relationship between earthquake knowledge and earthquake attitudes among disaster relief staff which has shown that as participants' knowledge on earthquake increased, their attitude scores also increased at a significant level.
