dc.description.abstractThis research primarily aims to examine the human factors that cause accidents involving civilian UAVs using a qualitative research method within the framework of the PEAR model. Examining the consequences of UAV accidents constitutes a secondary aim of this research. The research was conducted using a phenomenological design, a qualitative research design. The research sample was determined using purposive sampling and the saturation point method. The study sample consisted of 85 UAV accidents that occurred in different locations and while performing different tasks in the United Kingdom between 2015 and 2025. Accident reports were examined using document review to collect data. The obtained data were subjected to content analysis using a descriptive approach within the framework of the PEAR model. Five themes emerged from the content analysis. These themes are: People-related factors, Environment-related factors, Action-related factors, Resource-related factors, and Consequences of UAV Accidents. Research findings indicate that resource-related factors (mostly technical issues) account for 39% of UAV accidents, environmental factors (mostly physical environment) for 26%, action-related factors for 22%, and human-related factors for 13%. Both actions and human-related factors are directly related to the behaviours, skills decisions, and attitudes of UAV pilots and flight crew. In this context, it can be concluded that the sum of these two factors (35%) accounts for human factors in UAV accidents. While UAVs have mostly sustained material damage as a result of these accidents, in some cases, a small number of people in the vicinity were slightly injured, and vehicles were partially damaged.
