SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR TURİZM GELİŞİMİNDE TURİZMİN YEREL HALK TARAFINDAN ALGILANAN ETKİLERİNİN, TOPLUM KATILIMININ VE TURİZM GELİŞİMİNE DESTEĞİN ROLÜ: BEYPAZARI ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Turizm endüstrisinin gelişimi ve sürdürülebilirliği açısından yerel halkın katılımı ve desteği oldukça önemlidir. Bu nedenle yerel halkın turizmin etkilerini nasıl algıladığının, görüşlerinin, bakış açılarının, tutumlarının izlenmesi ve elde edilen verilerin turizm gelişimine katkı sağlayacak şekilde kullanılması gerekmektedir. Çalışmada yerel halkın turizmin ekonomik, sosyokültürel ve çevresel etkilerine ilişkin algıları belirlenerek toplum katılımının ve turizm gelişimine desteğin söz konusu algılar ile olan ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Beypazarı’nda 418 kişi ile yapılan araştırmada yerel halkın turizmin etkilerini olumlu algıladıkları saptanmıştır. Çalışmanın diğer bir sonucuna göre toplum katılımının düşük olmasına rağmen yerel halk turizmin etkilerini olumlu algılamakta ve turizm gelişimine destek olmaktadır. Turizmin sürdürülebilir gelişimi açısından yerel halkın katılımının sağlanması oldukça önemlidir.
