Öğe The effects of interactive applications on visitors’ experience: a case of Gobeklitepe, Turkey(Social Sciences Studies Journal, 2018-12) Kozbe, Gülriz; Doğan, Mustafa; Dilek, Sebahattin EmreThe need for preservation and flexible exploration of historical artifacts generated increasing interest in using digital technologies in the cultural heritage context. This paper presents user interaction applications of a recent digital cultural heritage conservation and exploration project concerning one of the most famous heritage site “Göbeklitepe” in Turkey that is the oldest known human-made religious structure and added to the UNESCO’s World Heritage List by the year 2018 is 15 km away of northeast of the town Şanlıurfa. The project aims at enriching the visitor experience through modern digital technologies. Main modules include 3D scanning of the artifacts, information screen and mobile interaction with Augmented Reality (AR). AR has been developed to provide information about destinations and attractions. Because of the development of AR, tourists using AR can gain valuable experience without a tourist guide. There two aims of this study: 1) is to describe acceptance of a new technology such as AR and visiting intention for visitors who use AR at a heritage destination, 2) to measure tourists’ experiences of visiting historic sites. For this purpose, two scales were used for data collection. In accordance with the first aim of the study, the scale adapted by Chung, Han & Joun (2015) which is to explain visitors’ acceptance of AR based on the TAM. Secondly, Lee & Smith’s (2015) multiple-item scale was used to measure tourists’ experiences of visiting historic sites and museums. There are three dimensions in the first scale as perceived usefulness (5 items), perceived ease of use (3 items) and visit intention (2 items) visit intention (2 items) in accordance with the purpose of the study. On the other hand, the second scale involves natively 16 items under six dimensions. The findings offer important practical implications for historic sites and museums in relation to AR and experiential marketing. The findings show that the Augmented Reality applications have an important practical usefulness for the Göbeklitepe archeological site and particularly enriching of the visitor experience. The study shows that the AR applications impact on the visit intention of the visitors. The study is revealed that applications can be applied to enhance the attractiveness of the archeological sites, as Göbeklitepe, in many destinations.Öğe The influences of the interactive systems on museum visitors’ experience: A comparative study from Turkey(Journal of Tourism Intelligence and Smartness, 2019-06-28) Kozbe, Gülriz; Doğan, Mustafa; Dilek, Sebahattin EmreTo the effect, technologically advanced interactive systems, settled in modern-day museums research new ways to offer a positive experience to the visitors and encourage them to return, using modern communication and learning tools. This paper examines user interaction applications of a recent digital cultural heritage exploration project concerning of the most popular three museums (Mardin, Şanlıurfa, Gaziantep Museums) that are located in different cities of the southeast region of Turkey. The project aims at enriching the visitor experiences through modern digital technologies. Main modules include 3D scanning of the artifacts, information screens and mobile interaction with Augmented Reality (AR). In this paper, it is explored and compared the visitor perceptions and experiences for three museums. For this purpose, two scales were used for data collection. In accordance with the first aim of the study, the scale adapted by Chung, Han & Joun (2015) which is to explain visitors’ acceptance of based on the interactive systems. Secondly, Lee & Smith’s (2015) multiple-item scale was used to measure tourists’ visiting experiences at the selected museums. Moreover, the findings explain the influences of interactive applications on visitor experiences according to the museums and comparatively. The study supports that the interactive systems provide a functional role to learn about the heritage and manifest important practical implications for museums in relation to interactive systemsÖğe Ecomuseum, community museology, local distinctiveness, Hüsamettindere village, Bogatepe village, Turkey(Emerald, 2015-05-18) Doğan, MustafaPurpose – The concept of sustainable development is now widely accepted as a means of protecting natural resources and cultural heritage. One approach to ensuring sustainability, especially in relation to cultural tourism, is the ecomuseum. Turkey has considerable potential to develop ecomuseological models to encourage local sustainable development. The purpose of this paper is to explore the development of ecomuseums in Turkey by analysing the recent implementation of the concept in Hüsamettindere and Bogatepe villages. Current practices at these two sites are evaluated in comparison with the basic principles of ecomuseum theory. Design/methodology/approach – This paper explores local community involvement in two emerging ecomuseums in Turkey based on several years of participant action research by the author; it describes the nature of the two ecomuseums based on that experience. In addition an in-depth survey was carried out between February and April 2013 by Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University when 45 local participants were interviewed for their views on the ecomuseum developments, using the MACDAB method (Borrelli et al., 2008) as a guide. Findings – Even though the two implementations in Turkey have different features deriving from their local dynamics, they have had a similar experience in terms of the development process. Both began with a volunteer movement, the organisation of the local community, the formation of civil initiatives, a joint decision-making processes and the existence of participation and consensus. This process conforms to the basic principles of ecomuseology. The ecomuseums have also raised concerns about the loss of rural heritage and the mechanisms for conserving it within the model of the “living” ecomuseum. The most significant fact to emerge from this initial review of the two ecomuseums is that it is not necessarily their ability to conserve fragments of tangible and intangible heritage that is paramount in Turkey, but their importance in providing employment opportunities in rural areas. Originality/value – Ecomuseum movement is a very important and practical model for sustainable development and tourism. Ecomuseums can also be functional tools for protecting of cultural heritage and developing of local areas. Even though Turkey has got many cultural heritage sources, they are not used productively for local sustainable development. The two implementations will be sample to all natural and cultural heritage areas of Turkey for sustainable development.
