İSTANBUL’DA YER ALAN RESTORANLARDAKİ YEŞİL UYGULAMALARIN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Yeşil restoranlar çevreye duyarlı hizmetler sunan ve bu hizmetleri sunabilmek için gerekli alt yapıya sahip olan yiyecek içecek işletmeleridir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, İstanbul’da yer alan restoranlardaki yeşil uygulamaların nasıl yürütüldüğü ve neler yapıldığını keşfetmektir. Araştırma kapsamında sekiz tane yeşil restoranla görüşülmüştür.  Araştırmada veri toplama tekniklerinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmış ve analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan araştırmanın sonucunda ise yeşil restoranların fiziki çekicilikleri, menü zenginliği, coğrafi konumları, dış görünüş ve atmosferleri diğer restoranlardan ayıran özellikler olarak değerlendirilmektedir.  Sektörde öncü olmak, uluslararası bir zincir haline gelmek, büyümek ve en iyi olmak yeşil restoranların hedefleri arasındadır. Su tasarruflu sistemlerin tüm restoranlarda kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Enerji, en çok mutfak ekipmanları tarafından harcanmaktadır.

THE EVOLUATION OF GREEN PRACTICES OF RESTAURANTS IN ISTANBUL

Abstract

Green restaurants are food and beverage businesses that offer environmentally friendly services and have the infrastructure necessary to offer these services. The main purpose of this work is to discover how green practices in restaurants in Istanbul are conducted and what is done. Within the scope of the study, eight green restaurants were interviewed. In the study, semi-structured interview technique was used and analyzed from data collection techniques. As a result of the research, the physical attractiveness of the green restaurants, the menu richness, the geographical locations, the external appearance and the atmospheres are regarded as the features that distinguish it from other restaurants. Being a pioneer in the sector, becoming an international chain, growing and being the best is among the goals of green restaurants. Water-saving systems appear to be used in all restaurants. Energy is mostly spent by kitchen equipment.
