About the project:
When we look to the Turkish country today, it is possible to see a length of coast more than 8000 km including islands. It is also a fact that the rate of fatal drowning cases is extremely high. Unfortunately, each year 900 people on average die from drowning cases. The situation in 2014 report of the World Health Organization is unbelievably negative. According to this report, it is detected that each year 372.000 people die from fatal drowning. It is also detected that more than half of these deaths hit young people under 25 and 4% of them take place in Europe in the same report. Another significant problem nowadays is that the individuals are not conscious enough of topics of first aid and life guarding. However, millions of people all around the world lose their lives in home, industrial and traffic accidents and maximum 10% of them are met with first aid. While 10% of those who are met with first aid survive, maximum %5 of victims who are not met with first aid is able to survive. When we consider the fact that only 10% of victims are met with first aid in accidents, it can be understood how significant it is to understand and spread the essentiality of first aid. Particularly an awareness will be created related to the increase of deaths caused by fatal drownings in summer seasons and more attentions will be taken to this topic. The opinions of participants related to tourism activities in the region will be shared with relevant institutions and more contributions will be provided for regulations which will be implemented in this subject.
