    Ecological ideals, sustainable tourism and the heritage concept of an eco-village: The case of Arcosanti, USA
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019) Doğan, Mustafa
    Arcosanti in Arizona, USA, is a yet-to-be completed ecological settlement which reflects the major ideas of Paolo Soleri, an Italian architect and philosopher, on an alternative type of city. Based on field research using interviews, participatory observation and the survey method it examines the relationship between tourism and eco-settlements, using Arcosanti as a case study, in order to discuss current approaches to sustainable tourism and to examine visitor profiles, perceptions, and attitudes. The data indicates that ecological settlements such as Arcosanti can be an attractive tourist destination and it is clear that although Arcosanti had started life as an urban experiment based on ecological and alternative ideas, today it is a place that attracts many visitors. Regardless of whether Arcosanti can be categorized as an eco-village or eco-city, its valuable attractiveness results from Paolo Soleri and his tangible/intangible heritage that contributes an income via sustainable tourism. The study concludes that Arcosanti is an excellent case which offers the promise that ecological settlements can have significant potential for sustainable tourism.

    Real-life escape rooms as a new recreational attraction: The case of Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis, 2018-10-02) Dilek, Sebahattin Emre; Nur, Kulakoğlu Dilek
    The purpose of this paper is to theoretically and empirically investigate experiences of real-life escape rooms, a phenomenon that has gained prominence in recent years. An exploratory empirical study of visitors’ (escapers) experiences of 33 escape rooms in Turkey was conducted using content analysis. A total of 1079 reviews were extracted and used in the analysis. Data were collected from TripAdvisor–a well-known website–that allows guests to share their experiences from all around the world. The findings demonstrate that escape room attractions provide authenticity and flow experiences through the challenging activities and social component of the games. Furthermore, the findings show that visitors enjoy experiencing novelty-seeking (authenticity) and hedonistic experience-seeking (flow) and a feeling of being outside time and place.

    Türkiye’de vejetaryen/vegan oteller mümkün mü? Kavramsal bir tartışma
    (Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi, 2018-05-13) Dilek, Sebahattin Emre
    Son yıllarda dünya genelinde vejetaryen/vegan olan kişilerin sayısındaki artışa paralel olarak, vejetaryen/vegan otellerin sayısında da artış yaşanmaktadır. Her ne kadar Türkiye genelinde de vejetaryen ve vegan olanların sayısı her yıl artmakta olsa bile, vejetaryen/vegan otel sayısı aynı oranda artış göstermemektedir. Bu çalışmada, dünyadaki vejetaryen/vegan otellerin ülkelere ve kıtalara göre dağılımları verilerek, Türkiye’de vejetaryen/vegan otellerin mümkün olup olamayacağı üzerine bir tartışma zemini ortaya konulmak istenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, vejetaryenizm ve veganizm kavramları, insanları vejetaryen ya da vegan bir yaşam biçimine yönelten sebepler, Türkiye’de vejetaryen/vegan beslenme konularında kavramsal bir zemin ortaya konularak, konaklama sektörünün vejetaryen/vegan kişileri göz ardı etmesinin altında yatan nedenler söz konusu kavramsal zemin üzerinde tartışılmaktadır.
