GASTRONOMY ROUTE: A STUDY ON GEOGRAPHICALLY INDICATED PRODUCTS IN THE BLACK SEA CUISINE (SAMSUN-ORDU-GİRESUN-TRABZON-RİZE)

Öz

This study aims to create a gastronomic route by considering the current status of geographical indication studies in coastal cities of the Black Sea region, focusing on products listed under the categories of “Bakery and pastry products, pastries, desserts” and “Meals and Soups” in the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office’s database, as well as food lists created by the Culture and Tourism Directorates of the relevant provinces. Geographical indications are signs that define products specific to a certain region, produced with traditional methods, and attributed to that region in terms of quality or characteristics. While Black Sea cuisine is known for its natural richness and unique flavors, GI products constitute the most valuable parts of this cuisine. These products have the potential to preserve the region's cultural heritage and contribute to sustainable tourism goals. The research universe consists of the database of the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office and the websites of the Provincial Culture and Tourism Directorates. Data (GI products and products featured on the provinces' web pages) were compiled to create a gastronomic route. As a result of the research, when examining the distribution of products in the categories of “bakery and pastry products, pastries, desserts” and “meals and soups” in the provinces of Samsun, Ordu, Giresun, Trabzon, and Rize, the total number of registered products is 36, with the distribution as follows: Ordu (n: 12), Samsun (n: 9), Rize (n: 8), Trabzon (n: 4), and Giresun (n: 3). It has been determined that the rich gastronomic heritage of the Black Sea region gains further significance with the registration of geographical indications, and that the region’s tourism potential can be enhanced through such routes. In this context, the gastronomic route created offers significant potential to introduce the region’s culinary culture to a wider audience and promote gastronomic tourism. ,

GASTRONOMİ ROTASI: KARADENİZ MUTFAĞI’NDA (SAMSUN-ORDU-GİRESUN-TRABZON-RİZE) COĞRAFİ İŞARETLİ ÜRÜNLER ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Öz

Bu çalışma, Karadeniz bölgesinde sahile kıyısı olan şehirlerin coğrafi işaretleme çalışmalarının mevcut durumunu Türk Patent ve Marka Kurumunun veri tabanında “Fırıncılık ve pastacılık mamulleri, hamur işleri, tatlılar” ve “Yemekler ve Çorbalar” kategorileri altında sıralanan ürünler ve söz konusu illerin Kültür ve Turizm Müdürlükleri tarafından oluşturulan yemek listeleri de dikkate alınarak bir gastronomi rotası ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Coğrafi işaretler, belirli bir bölgeye özgü, geleneksel üretim yöntemleriyle üretilen ve kalitesi veya özellikleri itibarıyla o bölgeye atfedilen ürünleri tanımlayan işaretlerdir. Karadeniz mutfağı, doğal zenginlikleri ve kendine özgü lezzetleri ile bilinirken, coğrafi işaretli ürünler bu mutfağın en değerli parçalarını oluşturmaktadır. Bu ürünler, bölgenin kültürel mirasını koruma ve sürdürülebilir turizm hedeflerine katkıda bulunma potansiyeline sahiptir. Araştırmanın evrenini Türk Patent ve Marka Kurumunun veri tabanı ve İl Kültür Turizm Müdürlükleri’nin web sayfaları oluşturmaktadır. Veriler (coğrafi işaretli ürünler ve illerin web sayfalarında yer alan ürünler) derlenerek bir gastronomi rotası oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda, Samsun-Ordu-Giresun-Trabzon-Rize illerinde “fırıncılık ve pastacılık mamulleri, hamur işleri, tatlılar” ve “yemekler ve çorbalar” kategorisindeki dağılımlar incelendiğinde toplam tescilli ürün sayısı 36 olup dağılımı ise Ordu (n:12), Samsun (n:9), Rize (n:8), Trabzon (n:4) ve Giresun (n:3) şeklindedir. Karadeniz bölgesinin zengin gastronomik mirasının, coğrafi işaret tescili ile daha da anlam kazandığı ve bölgenin turizm potansiyelinin bu tür rotalar aracılığıyla artırılabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, oluşturulan gastronomi rotası, bölgenin mutfak kültürünü daha geniş kitlelere tanıtmak ve gastronomi turizmini teşvik etmek amacıyla önemli bir potansiyel taşımaktadır.
