The aim of this study is to determine the profile of Recreational Fishers (RBL) and Hunters (RAV); to compare their consciousness which can be affective on environment in relation to hunting / fishing and demographic variables.
The research consists of RBL and RAV. An electronic survey form which was prepared and sent to all members of groups and clubs of fishing/hunting by using social media. Female participants were excluded in statistical analyses process because of lacking participation. According to the results, it can be claimed that both RBL and RAV are aware of what fishing/hunting is and its sustainability and its effect on environment. Married participants compared to singles, young participants compared to older participants and participants who live in rural compared to participants who live in urban are more sensitive and aware of the effect of fishing/hunting on environment. Participants in both education groups have enough awareness of the effect of fishing/hunting. Furthermore, as history (years) and the frequency of fishing/hunting increase, the awareness and sensitivity of participants on the effect of fishing/hunting on environment increases.
Özet
Bu çalışmanın amacı rekreatif balıkçılar (RBL) ve rekreatif kara avcılarının (RAV) profillerinin belirlenmesi; avcıların avlanmanın ekolojik yapı üzerine olabilecek etkilerine yönelik bilinçlerinin avlanma türü ve demografik özelliklerine göre karşılaştırılmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın evreni Türkiye’de sayıları kesin olarak belirlenemeyen balıkçılık ve avcılık ile rekreatif olarak uğraşan bireylerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışma tanımlayıcı bir çalışma olup, veri toplama aracı olarak dijital bir anket formu kullanılmış ve anket sosyal medyada yer alan balıkçı/avcı kulüp ve gruplarına gönderilmiştir. Geri dönen tüm anketler değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Çalışmaya yeterli düzeyde bayan katılmadığı için cevap veren bayan katılımcılar istatistiki analizlerde kapsam dışında tutulmuştur. Çalışmada RAV ve RBL’lerin yeterli düzeyde avlanma bilincine sahip oldukları, bireyin eğitim düzeyinin artmasıyla bu bilincin arttığı, medeni durumun bilinç konusunda anlamlı bir farklılık yaratmadığı fakat evlilerin daha duyarlı oldukları, kentte yaşama, yaş, avlanma süresi ve sıklığı arttıkça avlanma bilincinin de arttığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
