SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK KAPSAMINDA TERMAL OTEL İŞLETMELERİNDE ATIK YÖNETİMİ UYGULAMALARI: SANDIKLI ÖRNEĞİ

Bu çalışmanın amacı otel işletmelerinde sürdürülebilirlik uygulamalarını ifade eden yeşil otel uygulamasının önemli bir parçasını oluşturan atık yönetiminin uygulanma düzeyini, eksikliklerini, yönetsel uygulamalar bağlamında termal oteller açısından örnek uygulamalar ile ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma kapsamında veriler, otel yöneticileri ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat yöntemi ve araştırmanın gerçekleştirildiği termal otel işletmelerine yapılan ziyaretlerde atık yönetimi amaçlı var olan uygulamaların gözlemlenmesi yoluyla temin edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, işletmeler çevreye duyarlı atık yönetimi amaçlı uygulamaları kendi imkânları ve genel bilgileri doğrultusunda gerçekleştirmektedirler. Atık yönetimi kapsamında dikkate alınan temel hususlar, atıkların gruplandırılması, tehlikeli kimyasal atıklarının oluşumunun önlenmesine yönelik faaliyetlerdir. İlgili otel işletmelerinde yapılan gözlemler ve mülakatlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, atıkların işletme içinde tekrar kullanımı ve geri dönüşümü konusunda yeterli çabanın olmadığı tespit edilmiştir

WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN THERMAL HOTEL ENTERPRISES IN THE SCOPE OF SUSTAINABILITY: A CASE OF SANDIKLI

The aim of this study, from the the point of thermal hotels’ view, is to demonstrate the implementation level and shortcomings of waste management in the context of administrative practices, which constitute an important part of green hotel practices under the sustainable managament practices. The data in this study were obtained through the semi-structured interviews with thermal hotel managers and observing the implementation of existing waste management practices in thermal hotel enterprises where this research is conducted. According to the results of this study, thermal hotels perfom environmentally sensitive waste management practices in accordance with their own capabilities and general knowledge. The main issues, taken into account under waste management, are identified as the categorization of wastes, and precautions aimed at preventing the formation of hazardous chemical waste. When the observations carried out at hotels and interviews are evaluated, it was determined that there was not enough effort to re-use the wastes wthin the hotel and to recycle
