İrem M.S., Department of City and Regional Planning in Urban Design Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ça ğatay Keskinok May 2005, 147 pages The rapid development in tourism sector in Turkey after 1980s led to an uncontrolled and unplanned development in the small settlements close to the tourism development areas. This is the result of the incrementalist tourism planning understanding emerged as the consequence of not considering the small settlements as a part of tourism development scenarios. Within the thesis, the tourism development areas and the economic, social, cultural and spatial relations of small settlements surrounding are discussed. It is emphasized that the concept of tourism is quite comprehensive and it is claimed that tourism legislation and tourism planning should be prepared taking into account that comprehensive tourism description. The questions, whether a role is described for small settlements in the tourism development scenarios in the course of tourism planning experiences of Turkey after 1980s or not, and what kind of approaches the tourism policies include about the development of small settlements are tried to be answered referring to the Tourism Encouragement Law Code: 2634 and Amended Law on Tourism Encouragement Law Code: 4957. The claims that tourism planning in Turkey after 1980s has not been carried out with a comprehensive planning approach and no part is reserved for the small settlements in tourism development scenarios are looked through over Antalya -Belek Tourism Centre and the hypothesis put forward in the thesis are proved through the mentioned sample areas. Moreover, within the scope of this thesis, recommendations and proposals on the legal regulations for the solution of problems determined and on the content of “tourism development plans” are given.

Dr. Ça ğatay Keskinok Mayıs 2005, 147 sayfa 1980 sonrası dönemde, Türkiye’de turizmin hızla geli şmesi, turizm geli şim alanlarının yakınında bulunan küçük yerle şmelerde kontrolsüz ve plansız bir geli şim ya şanmasına neden olmu ştur. Bu durum, küçük yerle şmelerin, turizm geli şim senaryolarının bir parçası olaral ele alınmamaları ve bunun sonucunda gerçekle şen parçacı bir turizm planlaması anlayı şının sonucudur. Bu tezde, turizm geli şimi ile yakınındaki küçük yerle şmelerin ekonomik, sosyal kültürel ve mekansal ili şkileri incelenmi ştir. Turizm kavramının kapsamlı bir kavram oldu ğu vurgulanmı ş ve turizm mevzuatı ile turizm planlamasının bu kapsamlı turizm tanımından hareketle kurgulanması gerekti ği iddia edilmi ştir. Türkiye’de 1980 sonrası turizm planlaması deneyimlerinde, turizm geli şim senaryoları içinde küçük yerle şmelere bir rol tanımlanıp tanımlanmadı ğı ve turizm politikalarının küçük yerle şmelerin geli şimine ili şkin ne tür yakla şımlar barındırdı ğı soruları, 2634 sayılı Turizmi Te şvik Kanununa ve 4957 sayılı Turizmi Te şvik Kanunu Hakkında De ğişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanuna referansla yanıtlanmaya çalı şılmı ştır. Türkiye’de 1980lerden sonra turizm planlamasının kapsamlı bir planlama anlayı şıyla yapılmadı ğı ve küçük yerle şmelere turizm geli şim senaryolarında bir rol verilmedi ği iddiaları Antalya - Belek Turizm Merkezi örnek alanı üzerinde incelenmi ş ve tezin ortaya attı ğı iddialar bahsi geçen örnek alan üzerinde kanıtlanmı ştır. Bu tezde ayrıca, tespit edilen problemin çözümüne yönelik yasal düzenlemeler ile “turizm geli şim planları”nın kapsamı üzerine önerilerde bulunulmu ştur.
