Abstract

The objective of this study is to reveal with different variables the relationship between the frequency of domestic flights of airline passengers in Turkey and the number of daily patients, which is a COVID-19 pandemic data. The data collection tool used in the study is a questionnaire. A correlation test was used in the analysis of the relationship between the annual flight frequency before and after the pandemic (Considering the pandemic is over). Hypotheses on the changes in flight frequency were developed with the demographic data, and these hypotheses were tested by one-way ANOVA method. SPSS 22 program was used to analyze the data. 229 people participated in the survey, and among them 202 eligible people were included in the study. The results of the correlation test were determined to be significant. It is revealed that there is a relationship between the declared number of patients and the flight frequency. As the declared number of patients increases, the flight frequency decreases. A decrease by a maximum of 82% is predicted in the average annual flight frequency per person if the patient number is estimated to be over 3000. All of the socio-demographic variables studied, except the level of education, affect flight frequency.

Covid-19 Pandemisinin İç Hatlardaki Uçuş Sıklığına Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı yolcuların görüşlerine dayalı olarak Türkiye’deki hava yolu yolcularının yurt içinde (iç hatlar) gerçekleştirecekleri uçuş sıklıklarının COVID-19 pandemi verilerinden olan günlük hasta sayıları ile olan ilişkisini çeşitli değişkenlerle birlikte ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırmada kullanılan veri toplama aracı ankettir. Pandemi öncesi ile sonrası arasındaki yıllık uçuş sıklığı ilişkisinin analizinde korelasyon testi uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca demografik verilerle uçuş sıklığı değişimine dair hipotezler oluşturulup bu hipotezler tek yönlü ANOVA yöntemi ile sınanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ise SPSS 22 programından yararlanılmıştır. Ankete 229 kişi katılmış fakat bunların arasından sadece uygun olan 202 kişi değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Korelasyon test sonuçları anlamlı çıkmıştır, dolayısıyla çeşitli zaman periyodları için verilmiş olan tahmini ortalama hasta sayıları ile uçuş sıklıkları arasında bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bildirilen hasta sayısı arttıkça uçuş sıklığının azaldığı görülmüştür. Hasta sayısı 3000'in üzerinde olduğunda, kişi başına ortalama yıllık uçuş sıklığında en fazla %82'lik bir azalma öngörülmektedir. İncelenen sosyo-demografik değişkenlerden eğitim düzeyi haricindekilerin tamamının uçuş sıklığını etkilediği ortaya çıkmıştır.
