Abstract
Introduction: Individuals are a whole with their environments. The environment (the neigbourhood) in which the individual resides is extremely important for one’s physical and mental health. Living in a neighbourhood characterized by fear, crime, violence, graffiti, garbage, noise, fighting, alcohol and drugs can negatively affect individual well-being.
Objective: This study was conducted in a methodological way to test the Turkish validity and reliability of the Perceived Neighbourhood Disorder Scale.
Method: The research was organized to determine the neighbourhood perception of individuals between the ages between 13- 18 and over 19. Plot study was done by applying pre-test to 87 adolescents in Tokat city center. Validity and reliability analyzes were applied in line with the results obtained from this questionnaire. After that, 513 people were retested for the final test. The questionnaires were applied between January 30 - March 30, 2019, with the approval of the governorship, the school administration, family and students. In this study, a total of 600 people were surveyed.
Findings: In the study, the exploratory factor analysis Cronbach's Alpha (α) coefficient was calculated as 0.869 for the Perceived Neighbourhood Disorder Scale, and the explained variance ratio was 65.258. After identifying the factors with exploratory factor analysis, the validity of factor structures was tested with confirmatory factor analysis. The chi-square test was calculated as 2.433, RMSEA as 0.049, CFI as 0.969, and GFI as 0.957 for the results obtained from fit indices in the confirmatory factor analysis. It was observed that the obtained model fit well according to the fit index values.
Conclusion: As a result of the findings obtained in our study; the Turkish form of the Perceived Neighbourhood Disorder Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool. The use of this questionnaire is recommended for future researches in Turkey.

Abstract
Giriş: Birey çevresiyle bir bütündür. Bireyin yaşadığı çevre (mahalle), fiziksel ve ruhsal sağlığı için son derece önemlidir. Korku, suç, şiddet, duvar yazıları, çöp, gürültü, kavga, alkol ve uyuşturucu ile karakterize bir mahallede yaşamak bireysel refahı olumsuz etkileyebilir.
Amaç: Bu çalışma, Algılanan Mahalle Bozukluğu Ölçeği'nin Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenilirliğini test etmek amacıyla metodolojik olarak yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Araştırma, 13-18 yaş arası ve 19 yaş üstü bireylerin mahalle algısını belirlemek amacıyla düzenlenmiştir. Tokat il merkezindeki 87 ergene ön test uygulanarak parsel çalışması yapılmıştır. Bu anketten elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Bundan sonra, 513 kişi son test için tekrar test edildi. Anketler 30 Ocak – 30 Mart 2019 tarihleri arasında valilik, okul yönetimi, aile ve öğrencilerin onayı ile uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmada toplam 600 kişiye anket uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada Algılanan Komşuluk Bozukluğu Ölçeği için açımlayıcı faktör analizi Cronbach Alpha (α) katsayısı 0,869, açıklanan varyans oranı 65,258 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi ile faktörler belirlendikten sonra, faktör yapılarının geçerliliği doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile test edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizinde uyum indekslerinden elde edilen sonuçlar için ki-kare testi 2,433, RMSEA 0,049, CFI 0,969 ve GFI 0,957 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen modelin uyum indeksi değerlerine göre iyi uyum gösterdiği görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda elde edilen bulgular sonucunda; Algılanan Mahalle Bozukluğu Ölçeği'nin Türkçe formu geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracıdır. Türkiye'de ileride yapılacak araştırmalar için bu anketin kullanılması önerilmektedir.
