Uzay turizmi faaliyetleri genel olarak uzak bir hayal gibi görünse de aslında bir süredir uygulanmaktadır. Uzay turizmi faaliyetlerinin dünya üzerinde sadece birkaç maceraperest turistin katılabildiği bir aktivite olarak görülmesi, ilgili faaliyetlerin sadece yörünge üstü aktivitelerle sınırlı olduğu yanılgısından kaynaklanmaktadır. Ülkeler, yüksek teknoloji bağımlılığı söz konusu olan uzay turizmi faaliyetlerini planlayabilmek ve uygulayabilmek için, henüz kitlesel hale gelmemiş bu aktivite konusunda kendine özgü ekonomik, hukuki, teknolojik şartları kavramak durumundadır. Bu çalışma ile uzay turizmi faaliyetlerinin ekonomik, sürdürülebilirlik, planlama ve uygulama perspektiflerinden incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma bu amaç doğrultusunda bir derleme olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmacılar, ilgili konunun aydınlatılmasının elzem olduğunu düşündüğü boyutlarına dair ilgili literatürü taramışlar ve ikincil bulguları yorumlamışlardır. Çalışmanın konuyla ilgi duyan araştırmacı ve uygulamacılara katkı sağlaması düşünülmektedir.

Space Tourism: Possibilities, Actions, A Conceptual Approach

Öz

Although space tourism is still perceived as a fantasy, it is actually an ongoing activity and a process. The false approach toward space tourism, as it is just an extreme activity experienced by only some adventurous tourists, comes from the wrong knowledge which assumes space tourism is just the travel beyond the earth’s orbit. Countries need to understand the special economic, technological and law conditions of space tourism, which is not a common or a mass tourism activity, to successfully implement planning and sustainability of space tourism. Hence, this paper aims to evaluate space tourism in economic, sustainability, planning and actions perspective. Authors of this paper focused on the literature which is believed to be highly related to importance of the investigated subject. Therefore, the paper is built as a review and expected to aid to both literature and practitioners.
