Abstract
Ida Mountains have mythological, naturally, culturally and historically important values. In
1993, some parts of Ida Mountains were declared a national park and protected.
However, the area where is outside the national park and suitable for tourism
activities has been irrecoverably damaged by productive activities as mining.
Protecting the natural resources for next generations would be possible only
through sustainable point of view. This study aims to calculate the economic value
of tourism resources of Ida Mountains with travel cost management. The
question form is prepared in order to determine the economic value of the touristic use of this region by travel cost method.
In addition, data is gathered via face-to-face meetings with visitors. Then, annual
individual consumer surplus
and total surplus of Ida Mountains are calculated in the regression model.
These numbers are 3.959,46 TL and 384.958.445, 95 TL. Based on the results, visitors bear quite high costs in
order to visit Ida Mountains. Moreover, this quantity will increase day by day
due to the protection of the natural structure of Ida.

Abstract
Kaz Dağları,
mitolojik, doğal, kültürel ve tarihsel açıdan önemli değerlere sahiptir. 1993 yılında
Kaz Dağları’nın bir kısmı milli park ilan edilmiş ve böylece koruma altına
alınmıştır. Ancak milli park alanı dışında kalan bölgede madencilik gibi üretim
faaliyetlerinin gerçekleştirilmesiyle turizm faaliyetlerinin gerçekleştirilebileceği
alanlarda tahribatlar ve onarılamaz zararlar oluşmaktadır. Bu kaynakların
korunması ve gelecek nesillere aktarılması sürdürülebilir bir bakış açısı ile mümkün
olacaktır. Çalışmada Kaz
Dağlarının turizm kaynaklarının ekonomik değerini seyahat maliyet yöntemi
ile hesaplamayı amaçlanmıştır.
Bölgenin turizm amaçlı kullanımının seyahat
maliyet yöntemiyle ekonomik değerini belirlemek üzere soru formları
hazırlanmış ve bölgeye gelen turistlerle yüz yüze görüşmeler yapılarak veriler
toplanmıştır. Daha sonra kurulan regresyon modelinde Kaz Dağları bölgesi
için yıllık bireysel
tüketici rantı ve toplam tüketici rantı hesaplanmış ve bu rakamlar
sırasıyla 3.959,46 TL ve 384.958.445,95
TL bulunmuştur. Elde edilen bu bulgulara göre ziyaretçiler Kaz Dağları bölgesini ziyaret etmek için oldukça yüksek bir maliyete
katlanmaktadır ve bölgenin doğal yapısının korunması ile her geçen yıl bu
miktarın daha da artacağı düşünülmektedir.
