Türk Sırt Çantalı Gezginlerin Seyahat Tarzlarına Göre Günlük Sürdürülebilir Uygulamalarının Karşılaştırılması

Bir turizm faaliyetinin gerçekleşebilmesi, turistik çekiciliklerin devamlılığına bağlıdır. Bu çekiciliklerin devamlılığı ise turizme katılan bireylerin seyahatleri sırasındaki sürdürülebilir uygulamalardan büyük ölçüde etkilenmektedir. Bu araştırmada diğer turist tiplerine nazaran daha uzun süreli seyahatlere katılan sırt çantalı gezginlerin sürdürülebilirliğe dair günlük uygulamaları incelenmiştir. Kartopu örneklemesi aracılığıyla toplam 244 Türk sırt çantalı gezgine ulaşılmıştır. Veriler anket tekniği kullanılarak, 2018 yılı Eylül-Ekim aylarında toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde; bağımsız örneklem t testi ve ANOVA'dan yararlanılmıştır gezginlerin en sık uyguladığı sürdürülebilir faaliyetlerin ekonomik sürdürülebilirliğe yönelik olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca gezginlerin gezginlik süresi, günlük işlerde çalışma durumu, günlük ortalama harcama miktarı ve sponsor desteklerine göre sürdürülebilir uygulamalarının farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir.

Comparison of Daily Sustainable Practices of Turkish Backpackers Based on Their Travel Style

The occurrence of a tourism activity depends on the continuity of tourist attractions. The continuity of these attractions is greatly influenced by the sustainable practices of the individuals participating in tourism. In this research, the everyday sustainability practices of the backpackers who participated in longer-term travels compared to other types of tourists were investigated. A total of 244 Turkish backpackers had been reached through snowball sampling. Data were collected in September-October 2018 via a questionnaire. The data were analyzed by independent samples t test and ANOVA. It was determined that the most frequently used sustainability practices were practices pertaining to economic sustainability. Additionally, it was found that sustainability practices were significantly different based on the travelers' travel period, daily working status, daily average spending amount and sponsor supports.
