Sürdürülebilir Turizmde Yerli Halkın Yer Bağlılığı Tutumunun İkamet Etme Süresi ve Cinsiyet Bakımından Değerlendirilmesi: Edirne Örneği

Yer temelli bir olgu olan turizmde yerli halk-turist etkileşimi kaçınılmazdır. Destinasyondaki sosyo-kültürel çekicilikleri yaratan ve destinasyonun asıl sahibi olan yerli halk, sürdürülebilir turizmin baş aktörüdür. Bir destinasyonda sürdürülebilir turizm anlayışını geliştirmek için o destinasyondaki yerli halkın tutum ve davranışlarını anlamak gerekmektedir. Destinasyondaki doğal, kültürel ve sosyolojik kaynakları gelecek nesillere aktaracak olan yine yerli halkın kendisidir. Yerli halkın yer bağlılığı tutumu ise yerli halkın ikamet edilen yere yönelik duygusal, psikolojik yönelimini ve yer ile olan uyumunu ifade etmektedir. Yerli halkın turizme yönelik tutumunu şekillendiren yer bağlılığı tutumu, cinsiyet ve ikamet etme süresi bakımından farklılaşmaktadır. Edirne’de yaşayan yerli halkın yer bağlılığı tutumunun oluşup oluşmadığını, bu tutumun ikamet etme süresi bakımından, cinsiyet bakımından ve kadın ile erkeklerin ikamet etme süreleri bakımından farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını test etme amacında olan bu çalışma sonucunda, ikamet etme süresi arttıkça yerli halkın yer bağlılığı tutumunun arttığı ve erkeklerin yer bağlılığı tutumlarının kadınlarınkine kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

The Evaluation of Residents’ Place Attachment Attitudes in terms of Length of Residency and Gender in Sustainable Tourism: The Example of Edirne

In tourism that is place based phenomenon, residents-tourists interactions is inevitable. Residents, creating socio-cultural attractions in the destination and being actual owner of the destination, are the main actors of sustainable tourism. Also, it is residents themselves carrying natural, cultural and sociological resources of the destination into future generations. On the other hand, residents’ place attachment attitudes express the residents’ emotional and psychological orientation towards the place they live. In other words, it is pointed out residents-place harmony. Residents’ place attachment attitudes shaping attitudes towards tourism vary in regards to gender and residents’ length of residency in that place. As a result of this study aiming to test whether residents living in Edirne have a place attachment attitude, whether this attitude differs in regards to length of residency, gender with men and women’ length of residency, it was concluded that the residents place attachment attitudes became stronger in time and men’ place attachment attitudes are higher than the woman’ attitudes.
