 Bu çalışma yaşlı kadınların gündelik hayat bilgisinden yola çıkarak turizm mekânlarına erişimlerini, yaşadıkları sınırlılıkları ve mücadele stratejilerini ele almaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, yaşlı kadınların turizm mekânlarındaki cinsiyet ve yaş temelli toplumsal ve mekânsal örgütlenme biçiminin ayrımcı söylem ve temsili üretimlerle ortaya çıkardığı eşitsiz mekânsal ilişkileri incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi izlenerek Antalya il merkezine turizm amaçlı seyahat eden 65 yaş ve üstü 20 kadın gezginle yüz yüze görüşmeler yapılmış ve sahadan toplanan veriler analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmadan çıkan bulgulara göre yaşlı kadınlar gündelik hayatta inşa edilen cinsiyet ve yaş temelli ayrımcı toplumsal ve mekânsal temsilleri sorgulamadan içselleştiren pasif özneler değil, aksine bireysel haklarını savunan, yasaları hatırlatan, toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini aşma eğiliminde olan ve yaşlılık sürecinin getirdikleri ile mücadele etmeye çalışan aktif öznelerdir.
