Abstract

The potential of a society or the developed facilities can play a central role for improving the economy of a country. The leisure industry has been growing to be a giant industry that can contribute to Turkey’s economy which is placed in low ranks of the better life index between Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. However, one of the most significant elements that slow down the progress in Turkey is that the professional competence framework has not been drawn leading to problems in the employment of professional specialists. The guiding element for the determination of the professional competence framework is a model that can define the industrial dimensions related with the profession.

The models and literature knowledge for the leisure industry has been found limited when the international literature is examined. In the scope of this research, four leisure models that were stated within international literature were examined and a new model that would be suitable for the Turkish leisure industry was proposed in the light of previous models. In addition, the Turkish leisure industry was discussed in detail in order to fill the deficiency within international literature about Turkish leisure industry.

Özet

Bir toplumun sahip olduğu potansiyel ya da geliştirdiği olanaklar, ülke ekonomisinin daha iyi olması için merkezi bir rol üstlenebilir. Ekonomik Kalkınma ve İşbirliği Örgütü (OECD) ülkelerinin daha iyi yaşama indeksi sıralamasında alt sıralarda olan Türkiye için rekreasyon endüstrisi gelecekte ülke ekonomisine önemli katkılar sağlayabilecek dev bir endüstri olma yolunda ilerlemektedir. Ancak Türkiye’deki bu ilerlemeyi yavaşlatan en önemli unsurlardan biri meslek uzmanlarının istihdamında sorun yaratan mesleki yeterlilik çerçevesinin henüz çizilememiş olmasıdır. Mesleki yeterlilik çerçevesinin belirlenmesinde kılavuz unsur ise meslekle ilişkili endüstriyel boyutları tanımlayabilen model olabilir.

Uluslararası literatür incelendiğinde rekreasyon endüstrisine yönelik model ya da literatür bilgisi sınırlı durumdadır. Araştırma kapsamında uluslararası literatürde ön plana çıkmış dört rekreasyon modeli incelenmiş ve bu modeller doğrultusunda Türk rekreasyon endüstrisinin yapısına uygun bir model önerilmiştir.
