The Participation of Local People to Tourism Planning:a Research on Hidden Garden Akyaka

Abstract

Many developing countries have chosen tourism as a tool through development. In this way, the tourism planning approaches are concentrated to increase tourist arrivals and tourist revenues. But these traditional tourism planning approaches brought negative impacts of tourism in developing countries. To achieve a more sustainable tourism, it is acknowledged that the tourism planning approaches should be changed and the local people should participate to tourism planning. As it is difficult for the local people in developing countries to participate to tourism planning by their own, there are discussions on whom (State, local government or non-governmental organizations) will direct them. In this study, which the local people trust more in tourism planning investigated by 26 interviews in Akyaka, situated at Southwest of Turkey. The non-governmental organization is trusted least by the local people in Akyaka.

Turizm Planlamasına Yerel Toplumun Katılımı:Saklı Bahçe Akyaka Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Öz

Pek çok Gelişmekte Olan Ülke (GOÜ), turizmi kalkınma yolunda bir araç olarak seçmiştir. Bu yönde de turizm planlaması yaklaşımları turist sayılarını ve turizm gelirlerini arttırmak üzerine odaklanmıştır. Buna karşın, bu geleneksel turizm planlaması yaklaşımları GOÜ'lerde turizmin olumsuz sonuçlar doğurmasına neden olmuştur. Turizmin daha sürdürülebilir olması için geleneksel turizm planlaması yaklaşımlarının değiştirilmesi ve yerel toplumların turizm planlamasına katılmaları gerektiği belirtilmektedir. GOÜ'lerde yerel toplumların turizm planlarına kendi kendilerine katılmaları güç olduğundan, onları devletin mi, yerel yönetimlerin mi, Sivil Toplum Kuruluşları (STK)'nın mı yönlendireceği konusunda tartışmalar olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin Güneybatı ucunda yer alan Akyaka beldesinde yerel toplumun turizm planlaması yapımında kime daha fazla güvendiği yapılan 26 görüşmeyle incelenmiştir. Buna göre, Akyakalılar turizm planlamasının yapımında en az STK'ya güvenmişlerdir.
