Müslümanların Seyahat Motivasyonları: Pozitif Psikoloji Perspektifinden Bir Değerlendirme

Öz

Turizm olgusu, farklı ekonomik sınıflara, kültürlere, inanç biçimlerine, yaşam tercihlerine sahip kitleri ilgilendiren çok boyutlu bir faaliyettir. Bu nedenle, turizm interdisipliner bir araştırma konusudur ve psikoloji bilimi bakımından da oldukça önemlidir. Özellikle pozitif psikoloji insanların turizm deneyimleriyle yakından ilgilenmekte, insanların psikolojik iyi oluşları ve turizm deneyimleri arasındaki ilişkiye odaklanmaktadır. Pozitif psikolojinin turizm motivasyonlarına ilişkin ulaştığı sonuçlar Müslüman turistler açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Müslüman turistlerin seyahat motivasyonlarını pozitif psikoloji perspektifinden değerlendirmektir. Çalışma daha önce yapılmış araştırmalar, geliştirilmiş teoriler çerçevesinde mantıksal çözümlemeler yapan kuramsal bir çalışmadır. Çalışmada öncelikle pozitif psikoloji ve turizm ilişki üzerinde durulmuş, ardından tarihsel olarak Müslümanların seyahatleri ve günümüz Müslümanlarının turizm motivasyonları hedonik ve eudaimonik motivasyonlar temelinde değerlendirilmiştir. Pozitif psikolojiye göre temelinde hedonik turizmin mutluluk üzerine etkisi kısa süreli, eudaimonik turizmin ise daha uzun sürelidir. Pozitif psikolojinin turizm araştırmalarındaki çıktılar ve Kur’an’ın Müslümanları bilgilenmeye, tefekkür etmeye, öğüt almaya, ders çıkarmaya, başkalarıyla ilişki kurmaya, Allah’ın yarattığı düzeni görüp takdir etmeye teşvik eden seyahatle ilgili ayetleri göz önüne alındığında Müslüman turistlerin seyahatlerinin altındaki itici gücün daha çok eudaimonik olması gerektiği söylenebilir.

Öz

The phenomenon of tourism is a multi-dimensional activity that concerns masses that have different economic classes, cultures, beliefs, and life preferences. For this reason, tourism is an interdisciplinary research subject and it is very important in terms of science of psychology. Especially positive psychology is closely related to people's tourism experiences and focusees on the relationship between people's psychological well-being and tourism experiences. Positive psychology's conclusions on tourism motivations are also very important for Muslim tourists. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the travel motivations of Muslim tourists from a positive psychology perspective. The study is a theoretical study that makes logical analysis within them frame of previous researches and developed theories. In the study, first of all, positive psychology and tourism relationship was discussed. Then historically muslims' travels and muslims' travel motivastions was evaluated on the basis hedonic and eudaimonic motivations. According to the positive psychology hedonic motivations are the driving force of mass tourism. and such experiences bring short-term happiness. Alternative tourism activities directed by Eudaimonic motivations bring more permanent happiness. When considered the results of positive psychology researchs and the verses of the Quran that encourage Muslims to inform, contemplate, learn lessons, engage with others, it can be said that the driving force under the travels of Muslim tourists should be more eudaimonic.
