Restoran İşletmeleri İnternet Siteleri İçerik Analizi: Denizli İli Araştırması

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Denizli’de bulunan restoranların internet sitelerinin etkinliğini
değerlendirmektir. Bu araştırmadan beklenen temel fayda, konunun önemine vurgu
yaparak restoran yöneticilerinin internet sayfalarını geliştirmelerine yardımcı olmak
ve sektörün bu konudaki farkındalığını arttırmaktır. Bir diğer amaç ise turistlerin,
Denizli restoranlarının hedef grubu olup olmadıklarını öğrenmektir. Araştırma içerik
analiz ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. İçerik analizi, çeşitli mecralardan elde edilen bilgi, belge
ya da görselin anlamlandırılması için yapılan sistematik inceleme olup, nitel bir analiz
yöntemidir. Bunun için metinde ya da görselde yer alan içerik, belirli boyutlara göre
sınıflanıp, kodlanarak özetlenir. Bu araştırmada 68 internet sitesi analiz edilmiştir.
Seçili internet siteleri, nitelik ve sunumun varlığı ve yokluğuna ilişkin 29 kriterle
araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, restoranların çok az bir kısmı internet
teknolojisini etkin olarak kullanmaktadır. Hemen hemen bütün internet siteleri firma,
ürün ve iletişim bilgisine sahiptir. Çok az sayıda restoranın ise internet sitesi dil, fiyat,
çevrimiçi rezervasyon ve çevrimiçi satış seçeneğini içermektedir. Dil seçeneğinin
olmayışı, internet sitelerinin Denizli’de turizme hizmet etmeyi hedeflemediğini açığa
çıkarmıştır.
