    Resilience and Market Diversification in Sustainable Tourism: Evidence from International Arrivals to Türkiye (2012-2025)
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2026-02-02) Atay, Mehmet Tarik; Ciuffreda, Raffaela; Coskun, Safa Bozkurt
    PurposeThis study analyzes the possible connections between resilience and market diversification of inbound tourism to T & uuml;rkiye from 2012 to 2025. The aim is to assess the reaction of international arrivals to global fluctuations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic era, and to examine the structural linkage to primary source markets within the concept of sustainable tourism management.Design/methodology/approachThe research uses annual country-specific data related to international arrivals. We used time-series analysis to uncover long-term behaviors and the consequences of crises. The research also used Shannon entropy and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index to look at market concentration and diversity. A comparative analysis of the primary source countries indicates variations in recovery trajectories and resilience in the concept of sustainable tourism management.FindingsThe results show that T & uuml;rkiye's inbound tourism grew steadily until 2019, decreased severely during the pandemic and then bounced back strongly from 2022 to 2024. Market diversity has improved over time, but dependence on Germany and the Russian Federation tourists' activities is still high. Although the UK was more stable, and regional markets like Bulgaria and Iran were more unstable, their positive effect on achieving the sustainable tourism goal is still weak.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is constrained by the partial coverage of 2025 data and the lack of direct indicators for environmental or social sustainability. Future research may combine these dimensions and their data to construct a more thorough and detailed evaluation for better understanding of the sustainable tourism context.Practical implicationsThe results show that for tourism in T & uuml;rkiye to be sustainable, it needs to have more diverse source markets, be better prepared for global or local crises and have plans for managing capacity, especially tourism management and seasonality. These insights can help government policymakers and local destination management bodies make long-term sustainability stronger.Social implicationsHighly concentrated tourism markets may cause revenue and employment volatility when principal source countries experience a downturn. Advocating for diversity in terms of various source markets for inbound tourism activities enhances tourism-related economic and social resilience and community welfare in terms of stable income flow and fosters inclusive growth throughout the local and national community in accordance with sustainable tourism objectives.Originality/valueThis study directly connects resilience and diversity to the management of sustainable tourism in a new destination. By integrating long-term real case data with related, respected and detailed market structure metrics, it offers novel insights into how destinations might improve their competitiveness, decreased vulnerabilities in crisis time periods and improve the sustainability of the tourism sector.

    Sustainable Conservation Through the Interrelations Between Rural Architecture and Life: The Case of Çomakdağ
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2025-06-24) Kurtulus, Vacide Betul; Guchan, Neriman Sahin; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman
    PurposeThe paper aims to propose a new approach to the sustainable conservation of rural heritage with the aim of understanding the relations between built environment and society. In the document "Concerning Rural Landscapes as Heritage" by ICOMOS-IFLA, it is argued that there is an interaction between daily life practices and the physical environment for production and cultural activities (ICOMOS, 2017). The main objective of the study is to underline the importance and necessity for this interaction continue for the sustainable conservation of rural areas.Design/methodology/approachThis paper investigates the relationship between the built environment and daily practices in Turkey's & Ccedil;omakdag Region, known for its significant rural architecture and enduring traditions. Through on-site investigation, the study explores the evolution of these relationships across various scales, including buildings, settlements and the region itself. This multi-scale approach aims to identify remaining cultural values and user needs.FindingsTraditional ways of life have undergone a transformation, impacting the interactions between inhabitants and their natural, agricultural and architectural spaces. The primary drivers of these changes are shifts in income sources, technological advancements and infrastructural developments within the settlements. While maintaining a connection between the built environment and daily life practices remains essential, contemporary living conditions and altered routines present challenges to this continuity.Originality/valueThis study builds on previous research on the & Ccedil;omakdag Region. Batur (2010) explored the region's architectural features, including colors and ornamentation. Kurtulus and G & uuml;& ccedil;han (2020) focused on Kizilaga & ccedil; village, examining typical house characteristics. This research offers a new perspective on rural heritage preservation. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining the interrelationship between daily life and the built environment across various scales for sustainable conservation.
