This study examines the relationship between local food quality perception, dining satisfaction, and post-dining behavioral intention in the context of sustainable gastronomy tourism in Manavgat/Antalya. The research also analyzes the moderator roles of food neophilia and neophobia in this relationship. A face-to-face survey was conducted with the tourists who visited the region and experienced local restaurants. Accordingly, 487 participants were interviewed. In order to analyze the collected data, data survey analysis was applied, and the findings were analyzed using AMOS software (Version 24) to test the structural model. The results have shown that the core perceptions of local food and delivery quality positively affect dining satisfaction, whereas no effect on external quality has been found. Moreover, the findings have also revealed that dining satisfaction positively influences post-dining behavioral intention. In addition, food neophilia and neophobia moderate the relationship between dining satisfaction and post-dining behavioral intention. These findings have emphasized the importance of promoting local food quality to increase tourists’ dining satisfaction and their intention to participate in sustainable gastronomy tourism. Destination managers should collaborate with food producers to create a branded local food line that offers sustainable and delicious options, thereby enhancing the travel experiences of domestic and foreign tourists.

In this study, the effect of local people’s perceptions regarding responsible tourism on place attachment and the moderator role of environmental awareness in the effect of place attachment on support for sustainable tourism development has been determined. The research was conducted on local people in a sample of Antalya Manavgat, one of the most important tourism destinations in Turkey. The data were obtained through convenience sampling method, and the analysis was carried out with 482 questionnaires. The AMOS program was used to test the hypothetical model developed within the context of the research, and the Process macro (model 1) was preferred to determine the moderator effect. As a result of the evaluation, it has been found that the sub-dimensions of economic, social, and environmental perception positively affect the place attachment of local people, while the cultural perception sub-dimension has no effect. The effect of place attachment on support for sustainable tourism development is another finding of the study. Moreover, the moderator role of environmental awareness in the effect of place attachment on support for sustainable tourism development has also been determined.

This research has been conducted to determine the effect of tourists’ beliefs of climate change on the NEP and ecotourism attitudes. In addition to this purpose, the moderator role of green self-identity in the effect of the NEP on ecological attitudes has also been examined. The research data were obtained from the tourists visiting the Alanya destination, which is one of the centers that attract the most tourists in Turkey. When the results of the research were examined, it could be determined that the belief in climate change is effective on all dimensions of the NEP, and similarly, all dimensions of the NEP have also affected the tourists’ ecological attitude. Further, green self-identity has a moderator role in the effect of ecocentric and anthropocentric sub-dimensions on eco-tourism attitudes. As a consequence of the findings, a number of theoretical and practical implications have been developed for sector managers, destination management organizations, and academicians.

ÖZ: Sezai Karakoç, gerek düşünce yazıları ve gerekse şiiri ile Türk toplumunda öne çıkmış, seçkin şair ve düşünürlerindendir. Şiir ve düşüncelerinin gücü yanında hayattaki pürüzsüz, tutarlı duruşuyla etki alanı gittikçe genişleyen bir düşünür olarak Türk toplumunda önemli bir mevki elde etmiştir. Millet kavramı üzerine geliştirdiği fikirlerinin Türkiye'nin toplumsal bütünlüğünün sağlam bir zemine oturması bakımından önemsenmektedir. Ulus-devletlerin bir tarafta/yukarıdan küresel güçlerin öbür tarafta/aşağıdan ise mikro milliyetçilikler arasında kalması, ilgili devletlerin toplumsal bütünlüklerini zedelemektedir. Bu çerçevede Karakoç'un millet anlayışı, Türkiye gibi imparatorluk bakiyesi bir devletin hem üst kimlik çatısının kuvvetlenmesi hem de toplumsal bütünlüğünün sağlanması bakımından önemli stratejik imkânlar sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada edebiyat sosyolojisinin imkânlarıyla Sezai Karakoç'un şiir ve düşünce metinlerinden kalkarak millet söyleminin izi sürülmektedir.
