GENDER AND BEING A MINING ENGINEER: THE CASE OF TURKEY

Yıl 2023, Cilt: 7 Sayı: 1, 111 - 134, 30.06.2023

Öz

The examination of the mining engineering profession from the perspective of both female and male engineers and the investigation of the profession in terms of gender equality constitute the main scope of this study. This study also aims to define and recommend solutions to the issues based on sexist roles faced by mining engineers who had studied mining engineering and are currently practicing their profession in Turkey. In this regard, fieldwork was performed on the basis of the views of 160 participants. In the study, a digital questionnaire consisting of two parts was scattered to the participants. In the first part of the questionnaire, demographic information was asked, and in the second part, questions about the genderbased evaluation of female and male engineers' professions were asked. Solution suggestions were presented by evaluating and interpreting the data obtained from the study.

Maden mühendisliği mesleğinin hem kadın hem de erkek mühendisler açısından incelenmesi ve mesleğin toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği açısından irdelenmesi bu çalışmanın ana kapsamını oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma aynı zamanda Türkiye'de maden mühendisliği eğitimi almış ve hali hazırda mesleğini icra eden maden mühendislerinin cinsiyetçi rollere dayalı olarak karşılaştıkları sorunları tespit etmeyi ve bunlara çözüm getirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda 160 katılımcının görüşlerine dayalı olarak bir saha çalışması yapılmıştır. Çalışmada katılımcılara iki bölümden oluşan dijital bir anket dağıtılmıştır. Anketin ilk kısmında demografik bilgiler, ikinci kısmında ise kadın ve erkek mühendislerin mesleklerini toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı olarak değerlendirmelerine ilişkin sorular sorulmuştur. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler değerlendirilerek ve yorumlanarak çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.
