Otantiklik ve Metalaşma Kavramlarının Turizmin Sürdürülebilirliği Çerçevesinde Taraklı ve Cumalıkızık Bölgeleri Üzerinden Okunması

This study reveals the dual-edged impact of tourism on UNESCO World Heritage Sites, particularly Bursa and Cumalıkızık, which represent the birthplace of the Ottoman Empire. While tourism can drive economic benefits for local communities by preserving cultural authenticity, unplanned commercialization risks turning these sites into mere marketing tools, stripping them of their historical and cultural essence. The research focuses on two distinct regions: Cumalıkızık Village in Bursa, with its 700-year history, and Taraklı in Sakarya, recognized as a 'Slow City' for retaining its unique identity. Through fieldwork and data analysis, the study explores how the balance between authenticity and commodification can be maintained to ensure sustainable tourism, offering insights into preserving cultural heritage while maximizing economic gains.
