Abstract





















Turizm tüketimi, özünde kendilik
hissini keşfetmeye çalışan bireyle ilgilidir. Bu keşif ise çoğu zaman olumlu
bir değişim yani kişisel gelişim ile sonuçlanmaktadır. Sırt çantalı gezginlerin
de seyahat şekli ve süresi göz önüne alındığında, diğer turist tiplerine
nazaran seyahatleri sonrasında kendilerinde algıladıkları ya da hissettikleri
değişikliklerin daha fazla olduğu söylenebilir. Bu araştırmada Türk sırt
çantalı gezginlerin seyahatleri sonrasında hissettikleri kişisel gelişimi
tespit edebilmek ve gezginlerin demografik özelliklerine göre kişisel
gelişimlerinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Evrenin
belirsizliği sebebiyle kartopu örneklemesine başvurulmuştur. Veri toplama aracı
olarak anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Sırt çantalı gezginlerin kişisel
gelişimlerini ölçebilmek amacıyla Chen, Bao & Huang (2014) tarafından
tasarlanan “sırt çantalı gezgin kişisel gelişim ölçeği”nden faydalanılmıştır.
Veriler 2018 yılı Eylül-Ekim aylarında toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilere
farklılık analizleri uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda gezginlerin cinsiyet
dışında diğer tüm değişkenler açısından kişisel gelişimlerinin anlamlı
farklılıklar gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir.    






Tourism consumption, in essence, is about the individual who is trying
to discover the sense of self. This discovery often results in a positive
change, ie personal development. Considering the type and duration of travel of
the backpackers, it can be said that the changes they perceive or feel after
their travels more than the other types of tourists. In this study, it is aimed
to determine the personal development of the Turkish backpackers after their
travels and to determine whether their personal development differs according
to the demographic characteristics of the travelers. Snowball sampling was
applied due to the uncertainty of the universe. Survey technique was used as
data collection tool. In order to measure the personal development of backpackers,
“backpacker personal development scale” designed by Chen, Bao & Huang
(2014) was utilized. Data were collected in September-October 2018. Difference
analysis were applied to the data. As a result of the study, it was determined
that the personal development of the travelers in terms of all variables other
than gender showed significant differences.
