Özet:

 


Eastern Black Sea Region is one of the
most important regions in the development of second home tourism for the
mountainous areas in Turkey. There is considerable literature gap on research about
second-home tourism in the mountainous areas of Turkey. For this reason, in
this study, we aim to determine the development issue and mobility patterns of
second home tourism in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. The research
population consists of seven provinces located in the Eastern Black Sea region.
The sample of the study is thirty highlands in Eastern Black Sea Region. A
multistage cluster sampling technique was applied at the sample selection. The
primary data were collected by the use of questionnaire surveys conducted with
a total of 900 second homeowner selected by convenience sampling during July
2010. A total of 60 digital TIFF format monoscopic aerial photographs were analysed by using
Erdas Imagine LPS and ArcGIS 9.3 software for showing the second home increase
in the area. At the sampling highlands, 2.830 dwelling units have increased in
the last thirty years. According to the questionnaire results of the study,
second homeowners generally come to the region in May and June. Most of them
leave the area in September. Second homeowners spend mostly 91-120 days in the
region. The beautiful landscape and weather conditions are main motivations to
acquire a second home from the region. Second-home demand in the region is
gradually increasing. Therefore, the determination of main motivation sources
for the second home demand and movement pattern towards the second homes provide
useful information for planning issues. The study is also a pioneer research
about the second homes in the mountainous area at Turkey.
