THE PLACE AND IMPORTANCE OF FAİTH TOURISM İN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERCULTURAL RELATIONS: THE CASE OF ADANA

Year 2022, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 67 - 86, 20.10.2022

Abstract

Culture is one of the most important factors that determine the lifestyle of society. It is a stereotypic and learned behaviour because it is been inherited from generation to generation. Faith tourism is a branch open to development with high potential in the field of alternative tourism, history, art, life, and direct culture. The way to be healthy in intercultural communication is through respect, love, and tolerance. To improve awareness of people of different faiths living together, it is necessary to understand the importance of faith and cultural tourism. Present, the province of Adana has a demographically multicultural structure. In this article, Adana was evaluated in terms of faith tourism, local people were interviewed and their opinion on faith tourism and intercultural differences were getting. In general, when the findings of the research are examined, it is that local people in different cultures living together are tolerant and understanding towards each other. According to them, more social events should be held for the people of Adana to get to know each other. A more positive image should be left in the minds of people related to Adana. It is thought that the research will contribute to increasing awareness about the cultural values and historical buildings in Adana. In addition, it is expected that this research on the multiculturalism population of Adana will fill the crack in the literature on intercultural communication and faith tourism.

KÜLTÜRLERARASI İLİŞKİLERİN GELİŞTİRİLMESİNDE İNANÇ TURİZMİNİN YERİ VE ÖNEMİ: ADANA ÖRNEĞİ

Year 2022, Volume: 6 Issue: 2, 67 - 86, 20.10.2022

Abstract

Kültür, toplumun yaşam tarzını belirleyen en önemli faktörlerden biridir. Bu kalıplaşmış ve öğrenilmiş bir davranıştır çünkü nesilden nesile miras kalmıştır. İnanç turizmi, alternatif turizm, tarih, sanat ve doğrudan kültür alanlarında potansiyeli yüksek, gelişmeye açık bir daldır. Kültürlerarası iletişimin sağlıklı gerçekleşmesinin yolu saygı, sevgi ve hoşgörüden geçer. Bir arada yaşayan farklı inançlara sahip insanların farkındalığını artırmak için inanç ve kültür turizminin önemini anlamak gerekir. Günümüzde Adana ili demografik olarak çok kültürlü bir yapıya sahiptir. Bu makalede Adana inanç turizmi açısından değerlendirilmiş, yöre halkı ile görüşülmüş, inanç turizmi ve kültürlerarası farklılıklar hakkındaki görüşleri alınmıştır. Genel olarak araştırmanın bulguları incelendiğinde farklı kültürlerde birlikte yaşayan yöre halkının birbirlerine karşı hoşgörülü ve anlayışlı oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcılara göre Adana halkının birbirini tanıması için daha fazla sosyal etkinlik düzenlenmeli, Adana ile ilgili insanların zihninde daha olumlu bir imaj bırakılmalıdır. Araştırmanın Adana'daki kültürel değerler ve tarihi yapılar hakkında farkındalığın artmasına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca Adana'nın çok kültürlülük nüfusu üzerine yapılan bu araştırmanın kültürlerarası iletişim ve inanç turizmi literatüründeki boşluğu doldurması beklenmektedir.
