Korunan Alanlar Yönetimi Bağlamında Kayak Merkezlerinin Fiziksel ve Sosyal Taşıma Kapasitelerinin Analizi: Ilgaz Dağı Milli Parkı, Ilgaz Kış Sporları Turizm Merkezi

Gelişen sürdürülebilirlik düşüncesi kapsamında korunan alanlar ve milli parklar, günümüzde en önemli rekreatif kullanım alanı biçimlerinden birini oluşturmaktadır. Milli parklar yönetiminin amacı, doğal ve kültürel kaynak değerlerinin korunması ve beraberinde ziyaretçilere kaliteli bir rekreasyonel deneyim imkânı sunabilmektir. Bu çerçevede doğru planlama ve yönetim yaklaşımı geliştirebilmek için ideal fiziksel, sosyal ve ekolojik şartların sağlanması yönünde rekreasyonel taşıma kapasitesinin tanımlanması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ilgaz Kış Sporları Turizm Merkezi'nin fiziksel ve sosyal kapasitesinin analiz edilerek, mevcut durumla karşılaştırılması ve alternatif bir yönetim stratejinin geliştirilmesidir. Çalışmada, Konforlu Taşıma Kapasitesi (KTK) ve Yoğunluk Analizi (Cahill ve Larson 2002) yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Ilgaz Kış Sporları Turizm Merkezinin fiziko-sosyal kapasitesinin 1191 ziyaretçi/gün olduğu, mevcut liftler ile pistlerin %100 doluluk oranında kullanılabildiği, mevcut kullanımların ise kapasitenin üzerinde olduğu saptanmıştır. Ilgaz Kış Sporları Turizm Merkezinde kapasite üstü kullanımların azaltılması yönünde Yurduntepe kayak merkezi kapasite analizlerine dahil edilerek yeniden hesaplanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, günlük kayakçı kapasitesinin 1814 kayakçı/gün olacağı tespit edilmiştir. Ilgaz Kış Sporları Turizm Merkezi'nde belirgin bir yönetim sorunu haline gelen fiziko-sosyal kapasitenin üzerindeki ziyaretçi yoğunluğunun sınırlandırılması yönünde iki kayak merkezi arasında ulaşımın sağlanması önerilmiştir.

Analysis of Physical and Social Carrying Capacity in the Context of Protected Areas Management of Ski Centers: A Case Study of Ilgaz Mountain National Park, Ilgaz Winter Sports Tourizm Center

Today, the areas that are protected in the context of the idea to develop sustainability and the national parks are among the most important recreated areas of usage. The objectives of national park management are to protect natural and cultural resources and to offer the visitors opportunity for the good quality of recreational experience, as well. Within this scope, in order to develop sound planning and management approaches, it is essential to define recreational carrying capacity in terms of providing ideal physical, social and ecological conditions. The aim of this study is to analyze physic-social capacity of Ilgaz Winter Sports Tourism Center to compare with the current situation and to develop of alternative management strategies. In this study, the methods of Comfortable Carrying Capacity (CCC) and Density Analysis (Cahill and Larson, 2002) were used. The physic-social capacity of Ilgaz Winter Sports Tourism Center was found to be 1191 visitor/day and the existing lifts are used with a 100 % occupancy rate. The results demonstrated that actual average visitation of the ski center is higher than the carrying capacity, which is calculated Yurduntepe Ski Center was incorporated into the capacity analyses and the results were re-calculated in an attempt to reduce the recreational usage that is higher than the capacity in Ilgaz Winter Sports Tourism Center The results of the re-calculation demonstrated that the capacity would increase to 1814 skier/day. Based on these results, it has been proposed to provide transportation between two ski resorts in order to limit the number of visitors, which is above the physic-social carrying capacity and has become a prominent management problem.
