Zuhal GülerDoğancan ÖzselNuran Güler

As a consequence of migration from rural to urban areas, which gained momentum since the 1950’s, younger people have moved to cities but the elderly were either remained to live in the emptied villages in both winter and summer times, or moved back and forth between the two in different times of the year. The subject of this study is to find out the socio-economic profiles and life-satisfaction of this latter group that remained in between the two. Elderly individuals focused on this study are those who have born in villages but, currently, can only live in their villages in summer and move to urban areas, mostly to Istanbul, in times of winter. As shown in the study, if possible, they would like to remain in their own villages with their partners, and, if he or she is past, then with their children. The data is collected through both quantitative and qualitative techniques. A questionnaire form is applied in the Zara district of the city of Sivas, to 436 individuals over 65 years old from 20 different villages, who live in those villages in summer times and move to urban areas in winters. Also as a qualitative technique, both elderly individuals and officials from related government institutions are interviewed in-depth.

ARAFTA KALAN YAŞLILAR: KIRDAN-KENTE GÖÇ’ÜN YAŞLILARA ETKİSİ

Zuhal GülerDoğancan ÖzselNuran Güler

Türkiye’de 1950’li yıllardan itibaren hız kazanan kırdan kente göç nedeniyle gençler büyük şehirlere göç etmiş, yaşlılar ise, giderek boşalan köylerde ya yaz-kış yaşamaya devam etmiş ya da yazın köyde-kışın ise şehirde yaşamak zorunda kalmışlardır. Bu çalışmada da arafta kalan, yani yazın köyde-kışın şehirde yaşayan yaşlıların sosyo-ekonomik sorunları, yaşam memnuniyetleri ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında yer alan yaşlıların tamamına yakını köyde doğmakla birlikte, sadece yaz aylarını köylerinde geçirebilmekte, kış aylarında ise, şehirde ve ağırlıklı olarak İstanbul’da yaşamaktadırlar. Bununla birlikte, olanakları olduğu taktirde köyde ve öncelikle eşleri ile ve eşleri hayatta değilse çocukları ile birlikte yaşamak istemektedirler. Veriler, nicel ve nitel veri toplama tekniği birlikte kullanılarak derlenmiştir. Nicel veri toplama tekniği olarak, Sivas’a bağlı Zara İlçesinin 20 köyünde 65 yaş ve üzeri yaştaki 436 yaşlıya doğrudan görüşme yoluyla soru kağıdı uygulanmıştır. Nitel veri toplama tekniği olarak ise derinlemesine mülakat yapılmıştır.
