Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to place aviation safety culture on three pillars theoretically, and by doing so, to distill findings. By more clear words, It tries to give a more detailed explanation of the concept of safety and safety sciences. Regardless of the business branches, safety should be an important branch, depending on its clear importance in aviation, maritime, health and engineering and more technical sciences to give a clear insight into safety another purpose.
Methodology - Methodologically, the differences between the communities of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft of Tönnies and epistêmê and technê discrimination of Greek philosophy pave the way for Habermas’s Communicative Action Theory to create a cultural form that is exemplified as safety culture in civil aviation depending on the increasing impacts of the communication and communication networks. In the end, it concludes that the safety culture of civil aviation can be explained with this type of theoretical background and this methodology can be utilised in other industrial branches and sciences.
Findings- The main findings of this research can be collected in two groups. One of them is directly related to the creation of a cultural form (safety culture) and its main features by theoretical means, the other one is the evaluation of these theoretical means to the specific ends in a specific business branch, so civil aviation.
Conclusion- Through these ways, the importance of communication, sociological heritage and knowledge forms in aviation safety culture will be more theoretically understandable which is a complementary recipe of the research gap. On the other side, and in clearer words, safety is one of the great problems of humankind and business life. Like many other concepts such as security, the importance of heritage, culture, transmission and transportation of knowledge will be more understandable with these kinds of papers or works.
