Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, balık seçiminde karar sürecini etkileyen farklı ürün özelliklerinin (balık çeşidi, üretim yöntemi, satın alma yeri ve fiyat) tüketici tercihi üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmada yararlanılan veriler, Türkiye'nin yedi bölgesinin merkez şehirlerinde (İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Trabzon, Adana, Van ve Gaziantep) 526 kişi ile Temmuz-Eylül 2018 döneminde yapılan yüz yüze bir anket çalışmasından elde edilmiştir. Anket örneklemin sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile ilgili sorular ve tercih kartı şeklinde iki kısımdan oluşmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve konjoit analizi kullanılarak SPSS © 21 istatistiki analiz programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, tüketici algısı ile ilgili olarak, satın alım yerinin balık seçiminde en önemli faktör olduğunu göstermektedir. Önem sırasına göre balık tercihinde etkili olan diğer faktörler ise fiyat, üretim yöntemi ve balık çeşididir. Satın alım yeri alternatifleri arasından ise en çok tercih edilen balık pazarları (halleri) olmaktadır ve bunu sırasıyla semt pazarları ve süpermarketler takip etmektedir. Ayrıca tüketiciler deniz balığını çiftlik balığına, levreği ise çipuraya tercih ederlerken satın alımlarını minimum fiyat düzeyinde yapmayı istemektedirler.
