The purpose of this study is to investigate the main characteristics of self-sufficiency program participants using the 2nd year data of self-sufficiency panel data and to examine the factors influencing recognition of self-sufficiency. According to the main results of the study, 58.2% of the respondents who are participating answered that they would be de-poverty. And 47.8% of the respondents who are participating answered that they would be poverty. In other words, about half of the participants in the self-sufficiency think that their own someday may be a source of de-poverty. As a result of the logistic regression analysis, various factors were found to have a mixed influence on the recognition of self-sufficiency. On the personal level, age and the percentage of preschool children, family function, public transfer, and lack of welfare resources were found to have a significant effect on the age group. In the physical and psychological dimension, chronic diseases, mental health, and prospects for their future after 5 years have a significant impact. Finally, social capital utilization and social capital (degree of social participation) have a statistically significant effect on social capital. In this way, it can be seen that various factors are influencing the dehydration and deprivation perception of participants in the self-help program.
