Turizm Problemolojisi: Bilgi Üretmenin Özdüşünümselliği

Turizm bilgisi üretim sürecinin temelinde problemlerin yatıyor olmasına ragmen, turizm problemlerine ya da turizm  problemolojisine münhasır, sistematik ve derinlemesine bir araştırma yapılmamıştır. Bu çalışma turizm proble- molojisinin doğasını keşfetmeye ve bu boşluğu doldurmaya çalışması açısından bir ilktir. Çalışma kapsamında  kuramsal model geliştirilmiş ve 212 Çinli turizm araştırmacısı üzerinde kısmen test edilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre  araştırmacılar turizm problemlerini çözüm bekleyen zorluklar ya da çelişkiler olarak görmektedir. Dahası kişisel/ çevresel faktörler araştırmacıların problemlere yönelik anlayışını etkilemektedir. Ayrıca etkilenen bu anlayış da,  araştırmanın erken evresinde araştırmacıların problem seçimini ve değerlendirmesini etkilemektedir. Çalışma,  turizm problemlerini, önemini ve henüz üzerinde durulmamış olan turizm bilgisi üretiminin özdüşünümselliğini  öne çıkarmaktadır. 

Tourism Problemology: Ref lexivity Of Knowledge Making

Although problems are a fundamental dynamics of tourism knowledge production, a systematic, exclusive, and  in-depth study of tourism problems or tourism problemology has been overlooked. This study, which represents  the first time to examine the nature of tourism problemology, aims to fill this gap. A theoretical model is developed  and partially tested through a survey of 212 Chinese tourism researchers. Results show that researchers generally  consider problems as difficulties or contradictions that require resolution. Moreover, personal/environmental fac- tors influence the researchers’ understanding of problems, and such understanding further affects their evaluation  and selection of problems at the early stage of research. The study highlights the significance of problems as an  important, yet overlooked reflexivity of tourism knowledge production.
