Türkiye’deki Kuş Gözlemcilerinin Motivasyon ve Destinasyon Tercihlerinin Belirlenmesi

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de bulunan kuş gözlemcilerini uzmanlıklarına göre gruplandırmak ve seyahat kararı verme sürecine etki eden motivasyonları ile destinasyon tercihlerini araştırmak, bununla birlikte söz konusu motivasyon ve destinasyon tercihlerinin gruplara göre farklılıklarını incelemektir. 227 kuş gözlemcisiyle yapılan araştırmada kuş gözlemcileri “meraklı”, “aktif”, ve “kararlı” olmak üzere üç gruba ayrılmıştır. Yapılan faktör analizi sonucunda kuş gözlemcilerinin motivasyonları 4 boyut, destinasyon tercihleri ise 5 boyut olarak belirlenmiştir. Önem sırasına göre motivasyon boyutları, eğlenme, kuşa ilişkin özellikler, kaçış- yenilenme ve sosyallik olarak sıralanmıştır. Destinasyon tercihleri ise önem sırasına göre, flora ve fauna gözlemleme fırsatı, kentsel alanlardan kaçış, rekreasyon faaliyetlerinin olması, konfor sağlayan özellikler ve ulaşım kolaylığı olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın diğer sonucuna göre kuş grupları ile motivasyon ve destinasyon tercihleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklar bulgulanmıştır. Karalı kuş gözlemcileri açısından en önemli motivasyon boyutu “kuşa ilişkin özellikler” olduğu görülmüştür.
