These factors included socio?cultural benefit, sociocultural cost, economic benefit, and economic cost. These factors were then affirmed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). According to the main findings of the study, the residents believe that while foreign owners increase the economic costs, they also generate major economic benefits to their lives. In terms of socio?cultural aspects, they stated that second homes owners caused more positive effects compared to the negative ones.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought dramatic changes in all the areas of life, and has inflicted many societal costs. The negativities in the field of health and economy are the prominent ones. The whole process significantly affected human behavior, preferences, and priorities. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the motivations of international second home tourists (ISHOT). In addition, motivations for buying or renting a second home in the pre-pandemic period, the push and pull factors affecting their decision to stay in a destination, and the emotional experience they had during the pandemic were also interpreted in the study. Qualitative data research method was used with semistructured interview forms. In-depth interviews were conducted with 26 ISHOTs living in Alanya, coastal Turkey. The results proved that there were significant differences between pre-pandemic and postpandemic motivations of ISHOTs for second homes. In the pre-pandemic period, increasing the quality of life, being happy, providing mental health and well-being, emotional relaxation, and getting away from stress were in the frame among the reasons that pushed ISHOTs to acquire second homes. During the pandemic, it was determined that these motivations were replaced by feelings such as anxiety, complaint, protection instinct, uncertainty, and a trust pledge. Low risk, information provision, hygiene, and health system were important reasons that pulled ISHOTs to their second homes during the pandemic process. Insecurity, late intervention, the health system, the risk of being infected, and inadequate precautions were the reasons pushing them away from their home countries.

Bu çalışma yeni bir fenomen olarak yükselişini sürdüren hayalet mutfak girişimini restoran işletmesi sahipleri ve yöneticilerinin bakış açısıyla değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda 2015 yılında UNESCO tarafından yaratıcı şehirler ağına dâhil edilen Gaziantep ili araştırmanın evreni olarak belirlenmiştir. Destinasyonda faaliyet gösteren turizm işletme belgeli 23 restoran işletmesinden çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 18’i araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. İşletme sahibi ve yöneticileri ile 6 açık uçlu soru üzerinden derinlemesine mülakatlar yapılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar, hayalet mutfağın fiziki alandan bağımsız olmasının otantiklik ve üretici-tüketici iletişimi açısından önemli zayıflıklar içerdiğini göstermiştir. Bir diğer zayıflık ise tüm sürece ilişkin kalite algısının zamanında ve eksiksiz teslimat üzerinde şekillenmesidir. Tüketiciye ulaşım, reklam, kurumsallaşma motivasyonu ve fiziki yatırım maliyeti avantajı ise sistemin güçlü yanları olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
