“…The process is mutually beneficial and the positive promotion and preservation of artifacts, stories and skills for future generations encourages positive self-worth, pride and respect for elders (Liu, 2006;Sofield, 2002).

“…With strong relationships to wellness and empowerment, economic revenues are being utilized to support cultural ceremonies, community projects such as the construction of cultural centres, improved housing standards, trail development and many others initiatives (Colton & Harris, 2007;Liu, 2006). For example, by investing tourist dollars in seemingly non-tourism related initiatives such as community website development, Alert Bay, BC, Mistissini, Quebec, and Sarawak, Malaysia, are showcasing their communities, improving communication systems and increasing their accessibility (Harris, 2009;McGinley, 2002;Vodden, 2002).…”

“…Large and small communities have developed long-range plans for growth/expansion (Liu, 2006) and are utilizing a number of strategic development options such as the lease back of land to create successful businesses (David, 2009), and for those who are able, such as the Buffalo Point First Nation of Alberta, the leveraging of funds to access capital. Others take advantage of the opportunities through regional tourism development initiatives (Mitchell & Eagles, 2001) and participate in joint investment and marketing initiatives (McGinley, 2002;Wang & Wall, 2005).…”

• ÖzBu çalışmada, Türkiye'de yerel halkın turizme ve turizmin etkilerine yönelik algı ve tutumlarını belirlemeye ilişkin olarak yapılan 30 farklı çalışmanın sonuçları derlenmiştir. Yapılan yazın taraması, turizm endüstrisine yönelik hizmet sunan paydaşlara ve bu konuda araştırma yapan akademisyenlere bilgi sağlaması açısından önem arz etmektedir. Derleme sonucuna göre; Türkiye'deki yerel halkın çoğunlukla turizme ve turizmin etkilerine yönelik olumlu algı ve tutumlara sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Turizmin; yerel halka ekonomik katkı sağlaması, yeni iş imkânları doğurması ve bölgedeki yatırım olanaklarını arttırması, yerel halkın turizm ile ilgili olumlu algı ve görüşlere sahip olmasında önemli unsurlardır. Turizm ve onun yarattığı etkilerine yönelik az sayıda da olsa olumsuz görüşe sahip olan yerel halkın, bu görüşünde özellikle turizmin çevre tahribatına, gelenek -görenekleri ve ahlaki değeri bozmasına ilişkin düşüncelerinin neden olduğu belirlenmiştir. Türkiye'de çok sayıda turistik merkez olmasına rağmen konuyla ilgili nispeten az sayıda çalışmanın yapılmış olduğu belirlenmiş; özellikle Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde yaşayan yerel halka yönelik araştırmaların yapılmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenden ötürü Türkiye'de bu konuyla ilgili çalışmaların arttırılması gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Yerel halk, Turizm, Turizmin Etkileri, Halkın Algısı, Tutum. AbstractIn this essay, thirty different studies are compiled to determine the perception and the attitude of the local people in Turkey about tourism and its effects. Review of literature made in this essay have an importance in providing information to stakeholders serving in tourism industry and academists studying this issue. According to the result of the compilation, it is determined that the local people in Turkey mostly have positive perception and attitude about tourism and its effects. Economic contribution to local people, creating new job opportunities and increasing the investment offerings in the region have place among the main positive opinions that the local people have. It is also determined that, although there are few, the local people who have negative opinion about tourism and the effects which it creates have this negative opinion because they think that tourism causes environmental damage, disrupts customs and traditions and moral values. Although there are a lot of touristic centers in Turkey, it is found out that there are relatively limited number of studies made about this issue. It is ascertained that there have been no studies aimed at especially local people living in Southeast Anatolia. For these reasons it is clear that studies about this issue should be increased in Turkey.
