Kamu belgelerinde yer alan hassas bilgiler kamu güvenliği ve bireysel mahremiyet açısından kritik önem taşımaktadır. Bu nedenle hassas bilgi içeren belgelerin ulusal arşiv kurumlarına devir/transfer sürecinde belge yönetimi ve arşiv bilimi ilkeleri doğrultusunda nasıl yönetileceğinin ve değerlendirileceğinin kapsamlı biçimde incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Hassasiyet değerlendirmesi sürecini bütüncül bir yaklaşımla ele alan araştırmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışma söz konusu boşluğu karşılamak amacıyla hassas bilgi içeren kamu belgelerinin ulusal arşivlere devir sürecinde uygulanan yönetim ve değerlendirme pratiklerini incelemektedir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kapsamında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği ile arşiv uzmanlarının görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. Veriler, altısı Türkiye’den ikisi arşivcilik ve belge yönetimi alanında öncü bir ülke olan Birleşik Krallık’tan olmak üzere sekiz uzmandan toplanmıştır. Bulgular 5 tema 18 kategori ve 101 koddan oluşan kapsamlı bir tematik yapı sunmaktadır. Ortaya çıkan bu yapı hassasiyet değerlendirmesi sürecinde karşılaşılan zorlukları bunlara yönelik geliştirilen mesleki ve teknolojik yaklaşımları ve kurumsal yapıların süreç üzerindeki etkilerini ayrıntılı biçimde göstermektedir. Uzman görüşleri hassasiyet değerlendirmesi sürecindeki sorunlara yönelik yeni perspektifler sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca yapay zekâ destekli inceleme araçlarının hassasiyet değerlendirme süreçlerini nasıl dönüştürebileceğine ilişkin görüşler sunarak literatüre hem yöntemsel hem de teknolojik açıdan özgün bir katkı sunmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Gizlilik, hassasiyet değerlendirmesi, kamu belgeleri, arşivsel değerlendirme, uzman görüşü
