Summary
Local perceptions in Cappadocia reveal a nuanced view of tourism's impact on cultural heritage. While residents acknowledge both positive and negative effects, they generally support tourism activities that enhance natural landscapes like fairy chimneys and ballooning, while advocating for reforms to mitigate harm to cultural elements. The study, using Likert-scale questionnaires and ANOVA analysis, found significant variation in perspectives based on demographics such as age, education, profession, and residence. Residents perceive the region's capacity to serve visitors and its ability to meet touristic demand as 'sufficient,' suggesting a balanced but cautious approach to tourism development.
