Resumen
- English
  This study proposes to explore the economic, sociocultural, and environmental effects of coastal tourism development in a Turkish context. It adopts a quantitative approach and performed a random sampling technique. The survey data was collected from a sample of local people in Sinop/Turkey and total number of 252 utilizable questionnaires was gathered and analyzed through descriptive statistics. ANOVA test was also applied in order to compute the perceptional differences among demographical groups. The findings demonstrate that while majority of residents have positive perceptions in general, some agree with negative economic, sociocultural, and environmental effects of coastal tourism in the area. Specifically, they perceive that tourism raises the cost of products and services and as a result of an increase in living costs. ANOVA test shows that there were differences between educational groups in negative environmental impacts and age groups in positive economic impacts. In terms of sustainable coastal tourism, the present work procures further addition to tourism literature and also offers beneficial implications to industry practitioners.

  Este estudo pretende explorar os efeitos económicos, socioculturais e ambientais do desenvolvimento do turismo costeiro num contexto turco e adota uma abordagem quantitativa com uma técnica de amostragem aleatória. Os dados foram coletados de uma amostra de residentes locais em Sinop/Turquia num total de 252 questionários, que foram analisados através de estatística descritiva. O teste ANOVA também foi aplicado para calcular as diferenças percecionais entre os grupos demográficos. Os resultados demonstram que, embora a maioria dos moradores tenha perceções positivas em geral, alguns concordam que o turismo costeiro na área terá efeitos económicos, socioculturais e ambientais negativos. Especificamente, eles percebem que o turismo eleva o custo de produtos e serviços e terá como resultado um aumento no custo de vida. O teste ANOVA mostra que houve diferenças entre grupos educacionais em impactos ambientais negativos e faixas etárias em impactos económicos positivos. Em termos de turismo costeiro sustentável, o presente trabalho contribui para a literatura e também oferece implicações importantes para os profissionais da indústria.
