A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SLUM TOURISM

Abstract

Changes and developments in the globalizing world lead many industries to change. In a changing and developing world, tourism has to offer different tourism products to tourists who are constantly changing their focus of attention and are more curious. The direction of tourist movements is usually natural, cultural, etc. Although it is known that there are destinations with special features, slum tourism, which has developed since the mid-1990s, has taken its place among the important tourism types. Based on this, slum tourism is expressed as the visits of touristic movements to the poor, known as poor destinations. Due to the relatively few studies examining slum tourism as a whole in the literature, it has been determined as the aim of the study to reveal the deficiencies related to slum tourism by conducting a study through a systematic review. In this context, the universe of the study consists of 31 articles that carry out research within the scope of slum tourism. It was carried out through a systematic compilation method in order to reveal it in a holistic way through academic articles about slum tourism. As a result of the study, it is seen that the studies on slum tourism are mainly on Tourism Experience and Tourism Marketing. In addition, it was concluded that studies on slum tourism were published between 2011 and 2021.

GECEKONDU TURİZMİ ÜZERİNE SİSTEMATİK BİR DERLEME

Öz

Küreselleşen dünyada değişim ve gelişimler birçok endüstriyi değişime yöneltmektedir. Turizm de değişen ve gelişen dünyada sürekli ilgi odakları değişen, daha çok merak eden turistlere farklı turizm ürünleri sunmak durumundadır. Turist hareketlerinin yönünün genellikle doğal, kültürel vb. özellikleri olan destinasyonlar olduğu bilinmesine rağmen, 1990'lı yılların ortalarından itibaren gelişen gecekondu turizmi önemli turizm türleri arasında yerini almıştır. Buna istinaden, gecekondu turizmi, turistik hareketlerin yoksul, fakir olarak bilinen destinasyonlara yönelmesiyle ortaya çıkan ziyaretleri olarak ifade edilir. Gecekondu turizmini alan yazında bir bütün olarak inceleyen çalışmaların görece az olması nedeniyle sistematik derleme aracılığıyla bir çalışma yapılarak, gecekondu turizmi ile ilgili eksikleri ortaya çıkarmak çalışmanın amacı olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, çalışmanın evreni, Gecekondu turizmi kapsamında araştırma gerçekleştiren 31 makaleden oluşmaktadır. Gecekondu turizmi ile ilgili akademik makaleler aracılığı ile bütüncül bir şekilde ortaya çıkarmak amacıyla sistematik derleme yöntemi aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, Gecekondu turizmi ile ilgili gerçekleştirilen çalışmaların ağırlıklı olarak 'Turizm Deneyimi' ve 'Turizm Pazarlaması' üzerine olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca, gecekondu turizmi ile ilgili çalışmaların 2011 ile 2021 yılları arasında yayımlandığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
