                            <p>Bu çalışma, turist endişelerinin ve algılanan seyahat risklerinin turistlerin satın alma kararları ve yerel destinasyon seçimleri üzerindeki etkilerini farklı kuşak grupları özelinde incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında çeşitli yaş gruplarından 390 katılımcı ile anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiş ve elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Regresyon analizleri, turizme katılım endişe yapılarının satın alma kararları ve iç destinasyon seçimi üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif etkilere sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Benzer şekilde, algılanan seyahat risklerinin de satın alma kararları ve destinasyon tercihlerine önemli katkılar sağladığı tespit edilmiştir. Turizme katılım endişeleri ve seyahat riski algılamalarında cinsiyete dayalı anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmazken, eğitim düzeyine göre her iki değişkende de anlamlı farklılıklar gözlemlenmiştir. Lisansüstü eğitim seviyesine sahip bireylerin turizme katılım kaygısının daha düşük, ancak seyahat risk algısının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gelir düzeyi turizme katılım kaygısı üzerinde anlamlı bir etki gösterirken, kuşak faktörü seyahat risk algısı ve turizme katılım endişelerinde belirleyici rol oynamıştır. Z kuşağının diğer kuşaklara kıyasla daha düşük risk algısı ve katılım kaygısına sahip olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, turizm sektöründe hedef kitle stratejilerinin belirlenmesi için önemli veriler sunmaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>

Within the scope of the research, a survey was conducted with 390 participants from various age groups, and the obtained data were analyzed. Regression analyses revealed that tourism participation concern structures have significant and positive effects on purchasing decisions and domestic destination selection. Similarly, perceived travel risks were found to have significant contributions to purchasing decisions and destination preferences. While no significant differences were found in tourism participation concerns and travel risk perceptions based on gender, significant differences were observed in both variables according to education level. Individuals with postgraduate education were found to have lower tourism participation anxiety but higher travel risk perception. While income level had a significant effect on tourism participation anxiety, the generation factor played a decisive role in travel risk perception and tourism participation concerns. Generation Z was found to have lower risk perception and participation anxiety compared to other generations. The research findings provide important data for determining target audience strategies in the tourism sector.</p></abstract>
