Özet:

 The development of the tourism industry is a dynamic process and the attitudes of local people towards tourists play an important role in the tourism development of destinations. The balance between the positive economic impacts of tourism activities and their potential environmental and socio-cultural impacts can be shaped by the attitudes and participation of local people. Therefore, the attitudes and behaviors of local people towards tourists can directly affect the success of tourism. Therefore, it is essential for future tourism planning that local people are actively involved in the tourism development process and their views are sought. This study aims to reveal the attitudes of local people living in Cumalıkızık towards tourists. Phenomenology design was adopted as a qualitative research method in the study. In the study, interview technique was used as a data collection technique through a semi-structured form. Within this framework, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 people living in Cumalıkızık village. The interviews were audio recorded with the permission of the participants. The audio recordings were then transcribed for content analysis and checked by each researcher. In the next stage, the data obtained were subjected to content analysis. The data obtained were coded by creating themes under two categories. According to the research findings, local people generally have a positive attitude towards tourism activities and tourists. Among the positive effects of tourism, economics is the most prominent, while environmental pollution and cultural degeneration are the most prominent negative effects.

 Turizm endüstrisinin gelişimi dinamik bir süreçtir ve bu süreçte yerel halkın turistlere karşı tutumları, destinasyonların turizm gelişiminde önemli bir role sahiptir. Turizm faaliyetlerinin olumlu ekonomik etkileri ile olası çevresel ve sosyo-kültürel etkileri arasındaki denge, yerel halkın tutum ve katılımıyla şekillenebilmektedir. Dolayısıyla yerel halkın turistlere yönelik tutum ve davranışları, turizmin başarısını doğrudan etkileyebilmektedir. Bu nedenle, yerel halkın turizm gelişim sürecine aktif olarak dahil edilmesi ve görüşlerinin alınması gelecekteki turizm planlaması için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada Cumalıkızıkta yaşayan yerel halkın turistlere karşı tutumlarının ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi olarak fenomenoloji deseni benimsenmiştir. Çalışmada veri toplama tekniği olarak yarı yapılandırılmış form aracılığıyla görüşme tekniğinden faydalanılmıştır. Bu çerçevede Cumalıkızık köyünde yaşayan 12 kişi ile yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların izni doğrultusunda görüşmeler ses kaydına alınmıştır. Ses kayıtları daha sonra içerik analizi için yazıya geçirilmiş ve her bir araştırmacı tarafından kontrol edilmiştir. Sonraki aşamada elde edilen veriler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Elde edilen veriler iki kategori altında temalar oluşturularak kodlanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre yerel halk genel olarak turizm faaliyetlerine ve turiste karşı olumlu bir tutum içerisindedir. Turizmin olumlu etkileri arasında ekonomik etkiler, olumsuz etkileri arasında ise çevre kirliliği ve kültürel yozlaşma ön plana çıkmıştır.
