Abstract:
Communicationan information period has started with internet, going in our life rapidly, and have changed our life style in many ways; from shopping to education, administration of goverment to banking and have caused a new point of view.Informatics culture has been spread to each section of society with having adequate information capacity in technology, progressing and improving rapidly. How much people adapt to informatics culture in communication technology and progressing information and in this culture this study raking model is a desciriptive study to designate awareness of information safety.547 individuals from different groups of occupation (health staff, lawyer, engineer and teacher) have formed the sample of the research between the years 2010-2012. After some eliminations, the results of the scale of 501 individuals have been taken into consideration.To develop information security scale in informatics culture a pre study has done by talking to the participants. Afterwords, literature raking consisting of 80 questions have done to form a scale question pool. While writing the items it has been paid attention to the items should reflect the behaviour. Later, being presented opinion of the expert, it has been decided that nineteen items to be extracted, 61 items to be presented in the pre-application form. Pilot application has been done to the 46 participants with the 61 questions scale. As a result of pilot Security Safety Awareness Scale?s test reliability coefficient was 0,733 and for the Technology Usage Designation Scale?s test reliability coefficient was 0,821. After the analysis, 1 question that reducing the reliability has been extracted and the number of the questions have been changed and the number of the questions have been reduced to 60 and have taken its last state. According to this, it has been decided that meausing test is enough to trust. To see the validy of the scale, it has been applied to the expert view. After the relevant correction, the items have shown to the Turkish teachers for the semantic and sentence structure and it has been delivered to the participants when taken its last shape. . As a result of analyzing Security Safety Awareness Scale?s test reliability coefficient was 0,638 and for the Technology Usage Designation Scale?s test reliability coefficient was 0,937.The datas taken by the studies were being evaulated by using the SPSS program. In analysis, the frequency and the percentage was being used in the analysis of the participants demographic special features of the datas. Independet sampling was being applied to designate whether there is a differences or not between the participants? gender and education status variables. One way Anova analysis was being applied to designate whether having a meaningful awareness according to their ages and professions variables. The determine the groups having meaningful difference Scheffe test was being used.According to results,-It is being seen that there is a meaningful difference of the participants ages, computer and internet usage time and their usage of technology where as no meaningful difference in their gender, education status and professions.-It is being seen in information safety awareness that there is a meaningful difference of participants? age, gender and professions but there is not a meaningful difference in their computer and internet usage and education status.-It is being seen that there is a weak and positive meaningfull relationship between informatics culture and information security awareness.
