Abstract
This study investigates the information access, reliability, scientific data accessibility, and data literacy skills of individuals affected by the 2023 Turkey earthquake. Using qualitative methods, 14 earthquake survivors participated in semi-structured interviews. Varied perceptions highlighted the importance of how communication sources are perceived, emphasizing the need to address information gaps. Evaluating media effectiveness, including social media, television, and radio, revealed the influential role of social media and the importance of reliable sources. Trust in accessing scientific data underscored the significance of renowned scientists. The study emphasized the urgency to enhance disaster communication, media effectiveness, scientific data access, and data literacy skills, with a focus on scientists and reliable sources to mitigate the impacts of disasters.
