Özet:

 Representing one of the important tourism and recreation centers of the Aegean Region, Bozdağlar is of interest to tourism geography and constitutes one of the important research topics due to its natural and human geography features. This study was designed to conduct a preliminary research on special interest tourism SIT in Bozdağlar, in the hinterland of Izmir. The aim is to reveal the importance of sustainable tourism criteria and propose a road map for the start and future of Special Interest Tourism. The primary data of the research was obtained from the field study conducted in Bozdağlar, and the secondary data was obtained from scientific sources and Izmir province tourism plans. The method of the study is mixed method based on geographical area examination, SWOT analysis and comparison. According to the findings, although Bozdağlar has rich natural and cultural attractions and opportunities, tourism services are quite lacking and threats are quite intense. In this context, current tourism in the region cannot meet most of the Global Sustainable Tourism Councils Destination Criteria GSTC-D. As a result, activating the development potential of Special Interest Tourism in Bozdağlar will only be possible by making a regional tourism plan and applying the GSTC-D Criteria.

 Ege Bölgesinin önemli turizm ve rekreasyon merkezlerinden birini temsil eden Bozdağlar, sahip olduğu doğal ve beşeri coğrafya özellikleri neticesinde turizm coğrafyasının ilgi alanına girmekte ve önemli araştırma konularından birini teşkil etmektedir. Bu çalışma, İzmir hinterlandındaki Bozdağlarda özel ilgi turizmi ÖİT hakkında bir ön araştırma yapmak üzere tasarlanmıştır. Amaç, Özel İlgi Turizminin başlaması ve geleceği için sürdürülebilir turizm kriterlerinin önemini ortaya koymak ve bir yol haritası önermektir. Araştırmanın birincil verileri Bozdağlarda yapılan alan çalışmasından, ikincil verileri ise bilimsel kaynaklar ile İzmir ili turizm planlarından elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın yöntemi coğrafi alan incelemesi, SWOT analizi ve karşılaştırmaya dayanan karma yöntemdir. Bulgulara göre Bozdağlar, zengin doğal ve kültürel çekiciliklere ve fırsatlara sahip olmasına rağmen turizm hizmetleri oldukça eksik ve tehditler oldukça yoğundur. Bu bağlamda bölgede mevcut turizm Küresel Sürdürülebilir Turizm Konseyinin Destinasyon Kriterlerinin GSTC-D çoğunu karşılayamamaktadır. Sonuç olarak Bozdağlardaki Özel İlgi Turizminin gelişme potansiyelini harekete geçirmek ancak bölgesel turizm planının yapılması ve GSTC-D Kriterlerinin uygulanmasıyla mümkün olabilecektir.
