This research is one of the rare studies that aims to examine the perceptions of the members of Fisheries Cooperatives and Agricultural Credit Cooperatives on cooperatives together. The demographic, socio-cultural and socio-economic conditions of the members of cooperatives, their demands from cooperatives and their perceptions of cooperatives, which are among the pioneers of horizontal organisation in civil society organisations, were examined. A scale consisting of multiple choice and Likert type questions was used in the study. The data obtained from the research were analysed by descriptive and logistic regression methods. It was determined that the average age of the members of Fishery Cooperatives was 49.170+9.884 and the average age of the members of Agricultural Credit Cooperatives was 48.448+10.037. While there were no members with postgraduate education among both Fishery Cooperative members and Agricultural Credit Cooperative members, 0.8% of Fishery Cooperative members and 4% of Agricultural Credit Cooperative members were bachelor's degree holders, 33% of Fishery Cooperative members and 39% of Agricultural Credit Cooperative members were high school graduates. It was found that education level, years of cooperative membership, purpose of using the internet, and additional income had an effect on the members definition of their “financial situation”, while the belief that “the main purpose of cooperatives is not to make profit” was negatively affected by reading the cooperative agreement and additional income, and the age of cooperative members also negatively affected the belief that “bureaucracy negatively affects cooperative activities”. Due to the characteristics of their products, it was found that the members of the Fishery Cooperative were concerned about the sale of products and both cooperative members complained about the high cost of service procurement.

Bu araştırma, Su Ürünleri Kooperatifleri ve Tarım Kredi Kooperatifleri ortaklarının kooperatifçilik algılarını birlikte incelemeyi amaçlayan nadir çalışmalardan biridir. Kooperatif ortaklarının demografik, sosyo-kültürel ve sosyo-ekonomik durumları, kooperatiflerden talepleri ve sivil toplum örgütlenmelerinde yatay örgütlenmenin öncülerinden olan kooperatiflere yönelik algıları incelenmiştir. Araştırmada çoktan seçmeli ve likert tipi sorulardan oluşan bir ölçek kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler betimsel ve lojistik regresyon yöntemleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Su Ürünleri Kooperatifleri ortaklarının yaş ortalamasının 49.170+9.884 ve Tarım Kredi Kooperatifleri ortaklarının yaş ortalamasının ise 48.448+10.037 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hem Su Ürünleri Kooperatifi hem de Tarım Kredi Kooperatifi ortakları arasında lisansüstü eğitim almış ortak bulunmazken, Su Ürünleri Kooperatifi ortaklarının %0.8'i ve Tarım Kredi Kooperatifi ortaklarının %4'ü lisans mezunu, Su Ürünleri Kooperatifi ortaklarının %33'ü ve Tarım Kredi Kooperatifi ortaklarının %39'u lise mezunudur. Eğitim düzeyi, kooperatife üyelik yılı, internet kullanım amacı ve ek gelirin ortakların “mali durumlarını” tanımlamalarında etkili olduğu, “kooperatiflerin temel amacının kar elde etmek olmadığı” inancının kooperatif sözleşmesini okuma ve ek gelirden olumsuz etkilendiği, kooperatif ortaklarının yaşının da “bürokrasinin kooperatif faaliyetlerini olumsuz etkilediği” inancını olumsuz etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Su Ürünleri Kooperatifi ortaklarının ürünlerinin özellikleri nedeniyle ürün satışı konusunda endişe duydukları ve her iki kooperatif ortağının da hizmet alım maliyetlerinin yüksekliğinden şikayetçi oldukları tespit edilmiştir.
