Abstract

Turizm gelirlerinde spor turizminin son yıllarda giderek daha önemli bir paya sahip olması bu alanda yapılan çalışmaların sayısını da artırmıştır. Bu çalışmada spor turizmi türleri arasından golf turizmi konusunda WoS veri tabanında yayımlanan 46 çalışma bibliyometrik açıdan incelenmiştir. Golf Turizmi alanında bibliyometrik bir çalışma olmadığı gerçeğinden yola çıkılarak yapılan bu çalışma bu anlamda literatürde bir ilk olma özelliğini taşımaktadır. Bu konuda son 36 yıldaki değişikleri ve eğilimleri ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, WoS veri tabanında “golf tourism” konu başlığında ve 1998-2020 yılları arasında tarama gerçekleştirilmiş ve konu ile ilgili yayınlanmış çalışmalara ait verilere ulaşılmıştır. Analizin yapılması için bibliyometrik bilimsel haritalama yöntemi kullanılmış ve analizler SciMAT ve VOSviewer yazılımları ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmalar; yıllara göre yayın sayıları, yayın türleri, yayın dilleri, atıf analizleri, yazar atıf sayıları, dergi atıf ağı, ülke iş birliktelikleri incelenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, yayın sayıları bağlamında alana olan ilginin 2011 yılından sonra çarpıcı bir şekilde arttığı söylenebilir. Çalışmalar ağırlıklı olarak makale türünde ve İngilizce dilinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. İngiltere’nin ülke iş birlikteliklerinde kilit rol oynadığı, Türkiye’nin ise 3 yayın ile literatüre katkı sağladığı tespit edilmiştir. En fazla atıf sayısına sahip derginin ise Tourism Management, yazarların ise Barros, C., Butler, R., Correia, A. olduğu belirlenmiştir. Söz konusu yıllarda yayınlanan çalışmalarda Golf Turizmi konusunun; “Turizm”, “Pazarlama”, “Davranış” “Sürdürülebilirlik” ve “Destinasyon” temaları ile güçlü bağları olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Golf turizmi konusunun “Yönetim” konusu ile olan ilişkisine dair çalışmalar yapılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Where Does Golf Tourism Go? Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Abstract

The increase in the importance and popularity of sports tourism has led to both a sectoral development and an increase in academic studies. Golf tourism is only one of many branches in the sports tourism category. In this study, 46 studies on golf tourism published in the Web of Science (WoS) database were examined bibliometrically. This study stands out in the literature due to the lack of a bibliometric study in the field of Golf Tourism. With the evaluation of golf tourism studies, we aim to reveal the changes and trends in this field in the last 36 years. Articles published between 1983 and 2020 in the "golf tourism" topic of the WoS database were searched, and the data of the relevant published studies were obtained. The bibliometric scientific mapping method was used to perform the analysis using SciMAT and VOSviewer software. In this paper, the number of publications, publication types, publication languages, citation analysis, author citation numbers, journal citation network, and country collaborations was analyzed. Our research indicates that the number of publications has increased significantly since 2011, suggesting a recently-developing interest in the field. The studies were primarily scientific articles published in the English language. England played a primary role in the country collaborations among authors. Turkey contributed three publications to the literature. The analysis found that the journal with the highest number of citations is Tourism Management. The authors with the highest number of citations were Barros, C., Butler, R., Correia, A. The published studies on the subject of Golf Tourism have strong ties with the themes of “Tourism”, “Marketing”, “Behavior”, “Sustainability” and “Destination”. It is thus concluded that future studies should be conducted on the relationship of golf tourism with the subject of "Management".
