AB  - Bu çalışmanın amacı, Yusufeli ilçesinde gerçekleştirilen trekking, dağ bisikleti ve arama kurtarma etkinliklerine ilişkin saha uzmanlarının görüşleri doğrultusunda mevcut ihtiyaçları, planlama kriterlerini ve geliştirme önerilerini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma, nitel yöntemler doğrultusunda durum çalışması modeliyle yürütülmüş; örneklemi, kırsal turizm çalıştayına katılan 47 kişiden oluşmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında kişisel bilgi formu ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış; elde edilen veriler, NVivo 12 yazılımıyla içerik analizi yöntemiyle kodlanarak tematik olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, doğa temelli açık alan etkinliklerinin özellikle dağ bisikleti, trekking ve arama-kurtarma uygulamalarının yalnızca fiziksel düzenlemelerle sınırlı kalmayıp, mekânsal, yönetsel, sosyo-ekonomik ve çevresel boyutları içeren bütüncül bir yaklaşımla ele alınması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Katılımcı görüşleri yedi ana temada toplanmış; dağ bisikletinde rota sınıflandırması, rehberlik yeterliliği, turizm stratejileri ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik; arama-kurtarmada yerel yapılanmalar, teknik altyapı ve uzman eğitimi; trekkingde ise doğal-kültürel miras, yönlendirme, güvenlik ve yerel katılım ön plana çıkmıştır. Doğa temelli açık alan etkinliklerinin planlama, uygulama ve yönetim süreçlerinde yalnızca fiziksel altyapı unsurlarına değil; aynı zamanda sosyal katılım, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik ve yönetsel organizasyonel bütünlüğe dayalı çok katmanlı bir yaklaşıma ihtiyaç duyduğunu açıkça ortaya koymaktadır.

N2  - The purpose of this study is to identify the existing needs, planning criteria, and development proposals for trekking, mountain biking, and search-and-rescue activities in Yusufeli district, based on the perspectives of field experts. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach within the framework of a case study design, with a sample consisting of 47 participants who attended a rural tourism workshop. Data were collected through a personal information form and a semi-structured interview form; the obtained data were coded and thematically classified using content analysis in NVivo 12 software. The findings indicate that nature-based outdoor activities—particularly mountain biking, trekking, and search-and-rescue practices—should not be limited to physical arrangements alone, but should instead be addressed through a holistic approach encompassing spatial, managerial, socio-economic, and environmental dimensions. Participant views were grouped under seven main themes: in mountain biking, route classification, guidance competence, tourism strategies, and environmental sustainability; in search-and-rescue, local structuring, technical infrastructure, and expert training; and in trekking, natural-cultural heritage, wayfinding, safety, and local participation came to the forefront. The results clearly demonstrate that the planning, implementation, and management processes of nature-based outdoor activities require a multi-layered approach that not only focuses on physical infrastructure elements, but also incorporates social participation, environmental sustainability, and managerial-organizational integrity.
