An Overview Of Tour-Guide Training Literature In Türkiye, Nazım Çokişler Nov 2022

An Overview Of Tour-Guide Training Literature In Türkiye, Nazım Çokişler

International Journal of Tour Guiding Research

The discussion of tour-guide training, which started in the 1990s in Türkiye has been taken up in the associated literature more than in any other country. No studies were previously carried out, however, to place the nearly-30-year-prolonged discussions in a historical framework and evaluate them. Yet, understanding the evolution of such training-related discussions has the potential to lead to remarkably useful information for future analyses of the subject. The purpose of the present research is to provide an overall evaluation of the literature about tourguide training in Türkiye. To this end, the literature was reviewed, and the issues addressed as …

At The Nexus Between The National And The Global: The Discursive Construction Of The Turkish Halal Market In The Neoliberal Age, Yesim Kaptan Oct 2019

At The Nexus Between The National And The Global: The Discursive Construction Of The Turkish Halal Market In The Neoliberal Age, Yesim Kaptan

Markets, Globalization & Development Review

This article analyzes a recently emerging halal market in Turkey and illuminates how discursive strategies foster the halal movement in an Islamic culture, and in a neoliberal economy. By exploring websites of the Turkish halal regulatory institutions and employing critical discourse analysis of the media materials, I demonstrate how Islamic actors (halal certification institutions and businesses) adapt, appropriate, and contest different discursive strategies to achieve legitimacy, to compete for distinction and to acquire power in a newly emerging and fiercely competitive, yet a globally defined field in a national economy. The discursive contestations of the actors shaped by the ambivalent …

Conducting A Communal Questionnaire In Community-Oriented Cultures, Forrest Watson Jul 2017

Conducting A Communal Questionnaire In Community-Oriented Cultures, Forrest Watson

Markets, Globalization & Development Review

In order to enrich our scholarly knowledge we need to consider how our methodologies fit the particularities of every social context. A recent experience conducting a questionnaire in rural Turkey revealed a “community orientation” (Turan 1975) among respondents that caused me to question the individual as the center of analytic attention. Based on my findings, I propose the communal questionnaire, an innovative hybrid of the structured survey, qualitative interview, and focus group, which accounts for the non-standard nature of respondents’ social situations. I conclude with methodological suggestions for conducting research in community-oriented cultures.

Webs Of Power: Multiple Ownership In Tourism Destinations, Ziene Mottiar, Hazel Tucker

This paper aims to contribute to the research on tourism destination networks by focusing on multiple ownership, or portfolio entrepreneurship, when more than one small or micro business within a specific destination are owned by the same entrepreneur. Courtown, in Ireland and Göreme in Turkey are presented as two case studies in which the existence of multiple owners was identified. The implications of multiple ownership on tourism operation …


75 Years Of Turkish Diaspora: A Republican Family On The Move, Ibrahim Sirkeci Dec 2000

75 Years Of Turkish Diaspora: A Republican Family On The Move, Ibrahim Sirkeci

Ibrahim Sirkeci

Modern Turkey has been founded on internal and international migrations. During the early Republican period (1920s and 1930s), large populations of Turkish nationals and Muslims were living outside the borders of the new country. After the First World War and the War of Independence, they were brought into the country and were involved in the reconstruction process of the new Turkish Republic, marking the beginning of this century’s Turkish Diaspora. Since then, Turkey has witnessed important population movements in 20th Century. Jewish scholars came from Germany and then went to the United States and Israel; remaining Greek population after the …

Exploring The Kurdish Population In The Turkish Context, Ibrahim Sirkeci

Ibrahim Sirkeci

This paper explores the Kurdish population as an ethnic minority within the Turkish context. In this regard, it is the first investigation of the Kurdish population in Turkey to be based on a nation-wide representative survey supplemented by other data sources and previous studies. This study analyses the demographic patterns and related socio-economic characteristics of Turkey’s Kurdish population and compares the findings with the entire population of Turkey. The results indicate that the Kurdish population is currently in a pre-transitional stage in terms of the demographic patterns and constitutes with regard to both its demography and socio-economic characteristics the least …

Turkiye'de Icgoc Ve Icgocun Isci Hareketine Etkisi, A. Icduygu, Ibrahim Sirkeci, I. Aydingun

Ibrahim Sirkeci

Bu incelemede genel olarak yapmak istediğimiz, Türkiye’deki içgöç hareketlerinin işçi sınıfı yapısına etkisini tartışmak ve bu etkinin işçi sınıfı hareketleri için olası anlamlarını irdeleyen bir ön çalışma yapmaktır. Daha özel olarak ise son yıllarda yoğunlaşan ve farklılaşan içgöç olgusunun sürekli ucuz ve örgütsüz bir emek arzı sağlayarak ülkede “parçalanmış bir işçi sınıfı” ortaya çıkarma eğilimi taşıyıp taşımadığını tartışmaya açmaktır. Ancak bir yandan bu konu üzerinde kapsamlı bir çalışmanın daha önce yapılmamış olması, diğer yandan ise bu tür konuları sağlıklı bir şekilde tartışmaya elverişli bilgilerin ve kuramsal yaklaşımların yokluğu elimizdeki bu çalışma için daha işin başından belirgin bir sınırlılığı dayatmaktadır. Bu …
