BOŞ ZAMAN ETKİNLİKLERİNİN DÜZENLENDİĞİ KAMU TESİSLERİNDE TÜKETİCİ TATMİNİ: ESKİŞEHİR BÜYÜKŞEHİR BELEDİYESİ ÖRNEĞİ

Günümüzde sosyal, kültürel, sportif, sağlık ve sanat içerikli rekreasyon tüketicilerinin tatmin düzeyini belirlemek yerel yöneticilerin dikkat etmesi gereken öncelikli konulardan birini teşkil etmektedir. Çünkü, yerel yönetimlerin ürettiği rekreatif hizmetler, bu tür hizmetlerden yararlanan bireylerin görüşleri ve ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda oluşturulmalıdır. Bu bağlamda, yerel yönetimlerdeki yöneticilerin rekreasyonel faaliyetleri geliştirebilmesi, çeşitlendirebilmesi ve değerlendirebilmesi için tüketici tatmin düzeyinin belirlenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu kapsamda araştırmada kamu kurumlarında boş zaman etkinliklerinin düzenlendiği tesislerde tüketici tatmin düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın evreni Eskişehir Büyükşehir Belediyesi’ne ait tesislerde boş zamanlarını sosyal, kültürel, sportif, sağlık ve sanatsal içerikli rekreasyon hizmetlerinden yararlanan bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Belirlenen evrenin içerisinden kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile %24.2 58 kadın ve %75,8 182 erkek olmak üzere toplam 240 rekreasyon tüketicisi seçilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Alexandris ve Palialia, 1999 ’nın geliştirilen ve Türkçe uyarlaması Şimşek ve Mercanoğlu 2014 tarafından yapılan “Tüketici Tatmini Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Belediyeye ait tesislerde gerçekleştirilen rekreasyonel faaliyetlerin tüketici tatminine etkisini belirlemek için örneklem grubunun cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, yaş, meslek ve gelir durumu bakımından farklılıkları t-testi ve ANOVA analizi ile incelenmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucu, cinsiyete göre herhangi bir farklılık saptanmamıştır. Eğitim düzeyi ilköğretim ve mesleği memur olan bireylerin tesisler/hizmetler boyutunda tüketici tatmin düzeyi yüksektir. Örneklem grubunun yaş gruplarına göre karşılaştırılmasında ise tüketici tatminini oluşturan tüm boyutlarda yüksek düzeyde anlamlı farklılığın olması araştırmanın dikkat çekici sonuçlarıdır.
