Residents’ attitudes to tourists visiting their mosques: a case study from Istanbul, Turkey

Istvan Egresi; Fatih Kara

ABSTRACT Resident perception of tourism impacts has been one of the most studied areas of tourism. However, there is an extremely limited literature on resident perceptions of religious tourism development, especially in non-Western countries. This study investigated the attitudes of local residents toward tourists visiting four important mosques in Istanbul, Turkey and their perception of religious tourism development. All residents surveyed were practicing Muslims who prayed in a mosque at least once a year. We found that, in general, local residents are supportive of tourists visiting their mosque, but the level of support may differ based on the demographic and cultural background of the residents as well as on the number of tourists visiting the mosque.

Istanbul’un nufusu son elli yil icerisinde hizli sekilde artmis ve yerlesim bolgeleri plansiz sekilde buyumustur. Kontrolsuz sehirlesme beraberinde pekcok problemi getirmis ve bu problemler kent yasami icinde halkin sahip olmasi gereken temel ihtiyaclarin onune gecmistir. Halkin ihtiyaclarina cevap verebilecek nitelikte kaliteli rekreasyon alanlarinin gelistirilmesi ise yillarca ihmal edilmistir. Avrupa ve Amerika sehirleri planlanirken acik rekreasyon alanlari da plana ilave edilmis, insanlarin acik rekreasyon ihtiyaclari goz onunde tutulmustur. Istanbul’da ise bir rekreasyon planinin mevcut oldugunu ve yeni yerlesim alanlari planlanirken halkin rekreasyon ihtiyaclarinin arastirildigini soylemek pek mumkun degildir. Toronto, Ottawa ve Şikago gibi bazi Kanada ve Amerika sehirlerinin aksine Istanbul’un acik rekreasyon alanlari miktar, konum, buyukluk ve fonksiyon acisindan yetersiz olup, halkin ihtiyaclarina cevap vermekten cok uzaktir. Calismanin basinda ilce belediyeleri ile temasa gecilerek Istanbul’un mevcut acik rekreasyon alanlarinin envanteri cikarilmis, ardindan bu alanlarin yeri ve icerigi tespit edilmistir. ArcGIS 9.2 yazilimi ve 2007 yilina ait IKONOS uydusundan alinan 1 m cozunurlukteki uydu fotografindan faydalanilarak mevcut acik rekreasyon alanlari icin bir CBS veritabani olusturulmustur. Calisma sonuclarina gore Istanbul’da 2470 adet acik rekreasyon alani vardir ve kisi basina dusen rekreasyon alani miktari 1,53 m²’dir. Bu rakam Amerikan standartlarina gore cok dusuk olmakla birlikte acik rekreasyon alanlarinin icerik yonunden de cok fakir oldugu, halkin istek ve ihtiyaclarina cevap vermesinin mumkun olmadigi tespit edilmistir.
