dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between earthquake knowledge and sustainable earthquake awareness among university students, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as the analytical framework. The research encompassed 495 university students hailing from a municipality situated along the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. The participants' responses to the measurement instruments were subjected to SEM analysis. The assessment instruments utilized in this study were the Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Scale and the Earthquake Knowledge Scale. Prior to analysis, the suitability of these scales for factor analysis was ascertained through Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's tests. Subsequently, the theoretical structural model underwent examination via LISREL software. Results derived from the SEM analysis revealed a favorable association between earthquake knowledge and sustainable earthquake awareness among university students. This underscores the critical importance of individuals possessing comprehensive knowledge about earthquakes and maintaining sustained awareness to mitigate potential damages, particularly loss of life, in the event of seismic activity.en_US
