This research focuses on the impact of climate change on rural areas. In relation to this fundamental issue, the research examines the responses of those residing in rural areas to climate change. The study is based on the evaluation of the findings obtained from 60 questionnaires applied to the central village headmen of Elazig province by simple random method. In the study, it was determined that climate change in rural areas has serious adverse effects on the agriculture and livestock sector. It has been determined that the settlers tend to migrate rather than to have alternative orientations in the face of serious negative effects created by climate change in the agriculture and livestock sector. For this reason, it is possible to define the attitude of individuals residing in rural areas towards climate change as having an "escape and submissive" character. Based on the findings of this research, it is emphasized that some studies should be carried out in order to create capacity for the negative effects / consequences of climate change in rural areas and to raise awareness and awareness about alternative searches. It is thought that developing and implementing informative programs for those residing in rural areas, especially in the areas of water use, water management and orientation to alternative economic fields, and popularizing successful role model applications in the fields of entrepreneurship will yield positive results. As a result, it is possible to argue that preventing the declining population in rural areas and preventing migration in connection with the problems caused by climate change will depend significantly on the condition of rebuilding capacity to be created with alternative orientations in the agriculture and livestock sector.

This study deals with the approaches of temporary village guards who served in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Region on the Kurdish Question and PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party). Whether or not the village guards consider the PKK as an actor in solving the Kurdish problem and to what extent their approach on the issue looks like or differs from those of the State and PKK are the main problematics of the study. In the study it has been found that the village guards identified the Kurdish question on the basis of "education in mother tongue", stated (% 68) that PKK is a terrorist organization used by external forces and hence it could not be addressed in connection with the Kurdish question. It has been found that some village guards (% 20.4) had supportive and legitimising approaches to the PKK organization. It is remarkable that some of the village guards who were positive about the PKK organization approved the democratic autonomy model. The main theme featured by the village guards who accepted the existence of the Kurdish question was that the problem could not be solved by means of violence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
