Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Traffic accident causing a great number of death and injury is a serious problem in all over the world. One of the simple but effective ways of reducing the number of death and injury caused by traffic accidents is increasing the use of safety belt. However, the effect of use of safety belt on the number of death and injury caused by traffic accidents is scarcely studied in Turkey. To fill this gab, this current study investigated the relationship between the rate of use of safety belt and the number of death and injury caused by traffic accidents in all of the 81 provinces in Turkey. This relationship was analyzed in terms of drivers, passengers, driving in urban and rural areas in details. Data were obtained from the Turkish National Police Headquarters via a valid permission. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Simple Regression. Findings showed that there is no significant relationship between rate of use of safety belt and the number of death caused by traffic accidents. But, significant relationships were found between the rate of use of safety belt and the number injury caused by traffic accidents for some cases. ÖzetTrafik kazaları tüm dünyada ölüm ve yaralanmalara yol açan ciddi bir sorundur. Kazalardaki ölüm ve yaralanma sayılarını azaltmak için kullanılabilecek basit ve etkili yöntemlerden bir tanesi emniyet kemeri kullanma oranlarının artırılmasıdır. Ülkemizde emniyet kemeri kullanımının trafik kazalarındaki ölüm ve yaralanmalar üzerine etkilerini ölçen araştırmalar nadiren yapılmıştır. Bu boşluğu doldurmak adına bu araştırmada ülkemizde 81 ildeki emniyet kemeri kullanımı oranları ile kazalarda sürücü başına düşen ölü ve yaralı sayıları arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. İlişkiler şehir içi ve şehir dışı ila sürücü ve yolcu durumları için detaylı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada hem illerdeki kemer takma oranlarına ilişkin veriler hem de illerdeki trafik kazalarına bağlı ölü ve yaralı sayıları verileri Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğünden yasal izinle temin edilmiştir. Veriler betimsel istatistikler, Pearson Product Moment Korelasyon ve Basit Regresyon testleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, illerde kemer takma oranları ile trafik kazalarındaki ölü sayıları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki ortaya koymamıştır. Ancak, kemer takma oranları ile yaralı sayıları arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur.
