Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify and investigate local inhabitants’ perceptions of tourism’s socio-cultural effects in Gökceada, Turkey. A total of 273 Gökceada residents were included in the study. From June through December 2019, survey questionnaires were used to collect data for the study in Gökceada. Eight questions about tourism’s contribution to Gökceada inhabitants, as well as a 23-item scale measuring residents’ perceptions of tourist impacts, were included in the survey’s 24 questions. According to the findings of the study, inhabitants of Gökceada see particular positive and bad consequences of tourism in their village. The supply of jobs, increased personal incomes, stimulation of the local economy, and better security in the destination region are only a few of the beneficial effects of tourism. The majority of inhabitants of Gökceada want to see development tourism grow in the future. As a result, the paper will aid local government and tourism planners in bolstering local support for tourism.
