English to Turkish: The Human Element
Source text - English What is the Human Element? There is no accepted international definition of the term ‘the human element’. In the maritime context, it can be taken to embrace anything that influences the interaction between a human and any other human, system or machine onboard ship. Although the phrase may be fairly recent in origin, the impact of people in the maritime safety system has been with us as long as mankind has sailed the seas. Nevertheless, the particular issues that this presents are not constant. The people, systems and machines have changed, not only through the increase in technology, but also because of the need for operators to maintain the competitive edge by reducing running costs. This has resulted in a reduction in manning scales and the employment of multinational, multicultural and multilingual crews. Furthermore, the increasing reliance upon complex systems in merchant ship operations places certain demands and constraints on the human element, not least in terms of the competence of the user and of the organizational and physical environment in which he/she is required to operate. IMO Resolution A.947(23) - Human Element Vision, Principles and Goals for the Organization – recognizes ‘the need for increased focus on human-related activities in the safe operation of ships, and the need to achieve and maintain high standards of safety, security and environmental protection for the purpose of significantly reducing maritime casualties”; and that “human element issues have been assigned high priority in the work programme of the Organization because of the prominent role of the human element in the prevention of maritime casualties.’ The human element is a critical feature of all aspects of ship or system design and operation. Human element considerations do not just start when a ship is launched and end when it is sold on or scrapped – they exist throughout its lifecycle, including at the conception, design and build stages.	Translation - Turkish İnsan Unsuru Nedir? İnsan unsurunun kabul edilmiş bir uluslararası tanımı yoktur. Denizcilik bağlamında, bir insanla başka bir insan, sistem veya gemi üzerindeki herhangi bir makine arasındaki ilişkiyi etkileyen her şeyi kapsayacak bir “insan unsuru” tanımı yapılabilir. “İnsan unsuru” terimi oldukça yeni olmakla birlikte, insanın denizde emniyet üzerindeki etkileri, insanoğlu denizlere açıldığından beri söz konusudur. Bununla birlikte, bu konuyla ilgili meseleler sabit kalmamıştır. İnsanlar, sistemler ve makinelerdeki değişiklikler, yalnızca teknolojik gelişmelere bağlı olarak değil, aynı zamanda denizcilik şirketlerinin işletme giderlerini kısarak rekabet avantajı sağlamak istemelerine bağlı olarak da gerçekleşmiştir. Bunun sonucunda, gemide çalışan personel sayısı ve çok uluslu, çok kültürlü, çok dilli mürettebat sayısı azalmıştır. Ayrıca, gemi operasyonlarındaki karmaşık sistemlere bağımlılığın artması; kullanıcının yeterliliği ve geminin kumanda edildiği organizasyonel ve fiziksel çevrenin yanı sıra insan unsuru ile ilgili de belli gereklilikler ve zorluklar oluşturmaktadır. Uluslararası Denizcilik Örgütü (IMO), A.947(23) no.lu – Örgütün İnsan Unsuruna Bakışı, İlkeleri ve Hedefleri – kararı; “gemilerdeki güvenli operasyonlarda, insanla ilgili etkinliklere odaklanmanın artması gerekliliği ve denizcilik kazalarında belirgin bir azalma yaratma amacıyla yüksek standartta emniyet, güvenlik ve çevresel koruma sağlama ihtiyacı” ve “deniz kazalarını önlemede önemli rol oynadığı için insan unsuru ile ilgili meselelerin, Örgütün iş programında yüksek önceliği” olduğu hususlarını kabul eder. İnsan unsuru; gemi, sistem tasarımı ve operasyon açısından kritik bir rol oynar. İnsan unsurunun önemi, gemi suya indiğinde başlayıp, satıldığında veya hurdaya çıktığında bitmez; fikir, tasarım ve yapım aşamaları dâhil olmak üzere geminin tüm yaşam sürecinde geçerlidir. Buna göre, sözü edilen insan unsurunun sağlanmasında, gemi adamları kadar kıyıdaki şirketin her türlü yönetim kademesi de önemlidir. İnsan unsuruna gerektiği gibi yönelmek, şirketin en üst kademesinden itibaren samimi ve gerçek bir sorumluluk gerektirir. Bu kitapçık, bahsedilen sorumlulukla ilgili gerekliliklerden bazılarını anlatmaktadır.
