Pandemide Küresel Kentte Yaşamak: İstanbul’un Covıd-19 Deneyimi

Özgür SayınVeysel Bozkurt

Yeni tip koronavirüs olarak da bilinen COVID-19 ortaya çıktıktan sonra birkaç ay gibi çok kısa bir süre içinde küresel bir salgına dönüştü. Salgının yayılma rotası, vaka yoğunluğu, sosyoekonomik ve psikolojik sonuçları incelendiğinde, bu küreselliğin merkezinde küresel kentlerin yer aldığı görülmektedir. Bu gerçek, salgın sürecinde küresel bir kentte yaşıyor olmanın diğer kentlerde yaşamaktan farklı bir şey olduğunu düşündürtmektedir. Bu hipotezden hareketle, bu çalışma koronavirüs pandemisinin küresel kent sakinleri üzerindeki çeşitli etkilerini araştırmaktadır. Geniş kapsamlı bir veri setine dayanan çalışma dünyanın önemli küresel kentlerinden biri olan İstanbul’da yaşayan insanların koronavirüs sürecinde yaşadıkları ekonomik, sosyal ve psikolojik deneyimleri ve bu deneyimlerin ülkenin geri kalanından hangi açılardan farklılaştığını incelemektedir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, İstanbul’un koronavirüsün sosyal ve ekonomik etkilerini Türkiye’nin diğer şehirlerine göre daha derinden yaşadığını göstermiştir. Bununla beraber, bulgular daha düşük gelir ve/ veya eğitim seviyesine sahip kent sakinlerinin bu sürecin olumsuz etkilerini daha fazla hissettiği sonucunu vermektedir.
