Article Motivation, perceived authenticity and satisfaction of tourists visiting the monastery of Mor Hananyo-Mardin, Turkey(Emerald, 2022) Seyitoğlu, Faruk; Çakar, Kadir; Davras, ÖzgürPurpose – This study aims to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of motivation, perceived authenticity and satisfaction of tourists visiting the Mor Hananyo Monastery as a heritage site. Design/methodology/approach – The quantitative research method was implemented to test the proposed structural model. Accordingly, a self-administered questionnaire was applied to 341 tourists visiting the monastery of Mor Hananyo between April and May 2019. First, confirmatory factor analysis was performed to ensure the scales’ construct validity; then, the covariance-based structural equation model was established to test the research hypothesis with the help of path analysis. Findings – The results showed that all motivation dimensions influence the objective authenticity perception of tourists. Heritage and ancestral motivations influence the constructive authenticity perception of tourists. However, the effect of educational motivation on the same variable was insignificant. Furthermore, only heritage motivation affects the existential authenticity perception of tourists. Originality/value – The results of this study demonstrate that tourist satisfaction has causal relationships with travel motivations and authenticity perceptions. Additionally, although tourist satisfaction has been accepted as an essential and extensively discussed subject in the tourism literature, this study is the first to examine the structural relationships of travel motivations (ancestral, heritage and educational motivations), authenticity perceptions (objective, constructive and existential authenticity) and tourist satisfaction in the monastery context.Other A Research on Walkablty Percepton of Toursts Vstng Old Town Mardn(2019) Çakar, Kadir; Harman, Serhat; Aykol, Şehmus...Article Tourism education and internships: a metaphor analysis(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017) Seyitoğlu, Faruk; Çakar, KadirThe objective of the present study was to examine tourism undergraduates' perceptions of their education and internship experiences through metaphorical analysis whilst striving to raise the awareness of tourism educators towards using metaphors. A qualitative methodology was used to explore this phenomenon. Participants were senior students (n = 94) from the Faculty of Tourism at Akdeniz University in Antalya, Turkey. The data were collected with a semi-structured questionnaire and processed using content analysis. Next, metaphors found in answers were categorised into different groups, and relevant excerpts were identified. The results provide insights useful to both tourism education providers and tourism establishments. Conclusions, limitations and future research directions are also presented.Article Turistik Bir Destinasyon Olan Mardin'in Yürünebilirlik Açısından İncelenmesi(2020) Çakar, Kadir; Harman, Serhat; Aykol, ŞehmusBu çalışmanın amacı Mardin destinasyonunu ziyaret eden turistlerin yürünebilirliğe ilişkin algılarını ölçmektir. Bunun yanı sıra, turistler açısından yürünebilirlik olgusunu etkileyen faktörleri araştırmak çalışmanın bir diğer amacını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda 486 ziyaretçiden yüz yüze anket görüşmesi ile elde edilen veri seti t-Testi ve ANOVA uygulanarak analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcıların “trafikten arınmışlık” faktörünü yürünebilirliği etkileyen en önemli faktör olarak değerlendirdikleri ve yürünebilirlik olgusunun turistik destinasyonlarda ziyaretçiler tarafından önemsenen bir husus olduğu desteklenmiştir.
