Karanlık Turizm ve Kentsel Keşif Üzerine Teorik Bir Karşılaştırma

Karanlık turizm ve kentsel keşif, akademik çalışmaların ve medyanın ilgisini yüksek oranda çekmeye başlamış iki kavram olarak görülmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, karanlık turizm ile kentsel keşif arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkileri göstermek, benzerlik ve farklılıkları bakımından teorik olarak karşılaştırmasını yapmak ve kavramların Türkçe literatüre kazandırılmasına katkıda bulunmaktır. Çalışmanın yöntemi, karanlık turizm ve kentsel keşif kavramları üzerine çoğunluğu yabancı kaynakları derleyerek veri toplamaktır. Çalışmada karanlık turizm ve kentsel keşif kavramları literatür taraması yardımıyla ayrı ayrı ele alınmış ve ardından tanımları ve örnekleri üzerinden teorik olarak karşılaştırma yapılmıştır. Sonuçta her iki kavram açısından bazı ortak özellikleri bulunmasının yanında farklı oldukları noktalar da saptanmıştır. Her ikisi de sıradan turistik faaliyetlerin dışında olan bu iki kavram, uygulama mekanları ve olağandışı olma, etkileşim kurma gibi motivasyonlar açısından benzer olmakla birlikte kentsel keşfin politik ve ideolojik bir yönünün bulunması, kentsel keşif mekanlarının ve uygulamalarının fiziksel riskler ve güvenlik riskleri içermesi açılarından farklılaştığı ortaya konulmuştur.

A Theoretical Comparison over Dark Tourism and Urban Exploration

Dark tourism and urban exploration are seen as two concepts that have begun to attract the attention of academic studies and the media. The aim of the study is to show the mutual relations between dark tourism and urban exploration, and to make a theoretical comparison in terms of similarities and differences and to contribute the introduction of concepts to the Turkish literature. The method of the study is to collect data on the concepts of dark tourism and urban exploration by compiling the majority of foreign sources. In the study, the concepts of dark tourism and urban exploration were handled separately with the help of the literature review and then a theoretical comparison was made over their definitions and examples. As a result, as well as in terms of both concepts have some common features, different points are also determined. Although these two concepts, which both are outside ordinary touristic activities, are similar in terms of application areas and motivations such as being unusual and interacting, it has been presented that urban exploration differs in terms of having a political and ideological aspect, urban discovery areas and practices involve physical risks and security risks.
