Çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) teknikleriyle Türkiye'nin buzul turizmi potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesi
Son yıllarda popüler olan buzul turizmi birçok buzul bölgesinde başarıyla uygulanmaktadır. Türkiye bu kaynaklar açısından önemli bir potansiyele sahip olmasına rağmen, 'buzul turizmi' konusuna henüz yabancıdır. Mevcut çalışma, Türkiye'nin mevcut buzul alanlarına karşılık gelen 12 yörenin buzul turizmi potansiyelini CRITIC-ARAS-WASPAS yöntemleri ile değerlendirilmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla literatürden elde edilen 18 kriter uzman paneli ve çeşitli ikincil verilerle değerlendirilerek analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre Türkiye'de buzul turizmi açısından en önemli gelişme potansiyeline sahip bölgeler Rize, Mersin, Hakkari, Artvin, Kayseri ve Niğde'dir. Bu bölgelerde buzul turizminin gelişmesi ve yaygınlaşması için paydaşlara çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur. Çalışmanın ve önerilen metodolojinin, Türkiye'de daha önce ele alınmamış bir konuya odaklanması nedeniyle literatüre teorik katkılar sağlayacaktır. Bulguların ayrıca buzul bölgelerindeki yerel paydaşlara pratik bilgi ve farkındalık sağlaması beklenmektedir.
Evaluation of Türkiye's glacier tourism potential with multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques
Glacier tourism, a recent trend, has been successfully applied in many glacial areas. Although Türkiye has significant potential regarding these resources, it is still unfamiliar with 'glacier tourism'. The current study evaluates the glacier tourism potential of 12 regions that correspond to the current glacial areas of Türkiye using CRITIC-ARAS-WASPAS techniques. For this purpose, 18 criteria obtained from the literature were analysed with the help of an expert panel and various secondary data. According to the findings, the regions with the most significant potential for glacier tourism development in Türkiye are Rize, Mersin, Hakkari, Artvin, Kayseri, and Niğde. Various suggestions were presented to the stakeholders for the development and expansion of glacier tourism in these regions. The study and the proposed methodology are expected to make theoretical contributions to the literature as they focus on a topic that has not been addressed before in Türkiye. The findings are also anticipated to provide practical knowledge and awareness to local stakeholders in the glacier areas.
