Ahmet ÜNAL — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Consumers' interest in online food ordering services has gradually increased, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. This development has also increased academic interest in the subject. However, studies on online restaurant reviews have remained limited. The current study mainly aims to examine consumer reviews on the online food ordering site, Yemeksepeti. A mixed-methods design combining qualitative and quantitative research methods was used in this study. First, content analysis was used to categorize consumer comments on the website Yemeksepeti, which provides online food ordering services. In the second phase of the study, the frequency values of the data analyzed in the qualitative phase were subjected to quantitative relational analysis. At this point, Chi-Square analysis was used to examine the possible relationships between consumer comments and restaurant type and restaurant class. The current study reveals that consumers' reviews on the online food ordering website, which is the scope of the study, are particularly flavor-themed. Furthermore, this study also reveals that there is a statistically significant relationship between consumer reviews and restaurant types and restaurant classes.

Beyza UYANIK, Çağıl Hale ÖZER — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Food choices are determined by experience, structural and habitual factors. With regards to social learning, the family plays a crucial role to develop perception of nutrition. This study aims to investigate the role of parents in the formation of children's knowledge on Turkish cuisine culture. For this aim, a research model was created with an ethnographic design and an interpretative model. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect data from nine participants via face- to-face interviews. Parents who have children between the ages of 7-16 were interviewed. As a result of thematic analysis, four themes were determined: socio-cultural structure of the family, traditional consumption habits, learning by doing/experience and social norms. As a result, consumption habits that parents transmit to their children are affected by the transmission they have acquired at a young age, and female figures are dominant in this cultural transmission. This study reveals important findings for the transmission of Turkish cuisine culture to future generations and parents’ role in this process.

Çağdaş ERTAŞ, Gökhan KADIRHAN — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

It would be appropriate to evaluate the gastronomic development of a destination not only by looking at the current potential but also with a holistic perspective. It is seen that the existing literature is insufficient in this context. The existing literature also shows various studies on tourists discovering the local gastronomy of a destination. However, limited research has been done on the sample of local people. In the current research, the phenomenon in question has been examined within the scope of some indicators, in the example of local people and in Sirnak, Turkiye. Thus, it is aimed to contribute to the gastronomy literature by drawing attention to the deficiency in the literature. As a result of factor analysis, Independent Sample T-Test, ANOVA, and total perception index, it was seen that the level of gastronomy development in Sirnak was quite insufficient, and it was determined that only the competition factor differed significantly according to the education level of the participants. At the end of the study, the research findings were discussed and suggestions were made for possible future research, taking into account the limitations of the research. It is suggested that this research should be read from the perspective of the sociology of food.

Ünalcan KUTAL , İbrahim Tuğkan ŞEKER — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Today, the rapidly changing and developing competitive environment has revealed many new trends in the field of gastronomy. When new trends in gastronomy are examined, molecular gastronomy applications are widely encountered. Within the scope of this study, it was aimed to apply and prescribe different cooking techniques to stone alasi fish by adopting the understanding of molecular gastronomy. Smoking, sous-vide and spherification techniques from molecular gastronomy techniques were used in the study. For the smoking process, bangles, star anise and marigold flowers were used. It was cooked with sous-vide technique for 30 minutes at 60 ° C in order to ensure the microbiological stability of the fish smoked separately with each aromatic plant and to form the necessary aroma components. The fish cooked with sous-wide technique was served with some local plants. In the service of fish, the shoveling technique, which is also a molecular technique, was preferred and madimak, manger and pez caviar were used. The plates prepared in this way were evaluated by 20 panelists and the results were examined statistically. In the light of the surveys and evaluations conducted within the scope of the study, it has been concluded that local fish species can also be cooked with modern techniques and that acceptable levels of product can be produced.

Levent Selman GÖKTAŞ — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The biggest concern about online assignments and exams in distance education is that students cannot be supervised sufficiently. Artificial intelligence applications based on language modeling techniques, such as ChatGPT, are also important factors that may increase this concern. Accordingly, this study aims to show how ChatGPT performs in the accuracy and validation stages of homework and multiple-choice exams in tourism. When the result of the study is examined, it has been determined that the emergence of technologies such as ChatGPT poses a significant threat to the integrity of online exams. The fact that ChatGPT gave incorrect answers to homework questions and that the sources specified did not exist showed that ChatGPT did not achieve success in the accuracy and verification of such questions. However, it was observed that it was pretty successful against multiple-choice questions. Out of 20 multiple-choice questions, it answered 16 of them correctly and 4 of them incorrectly. This situation revealed that ChatGPT performed at the level expected from a good tourism student in measuring multiple-choice tourism knowledge.

Koruk is the name given to unripe grapes, the water obtained by squeezing which is called koruk juice or sour. Koruk sours’re obtained by processing the verjuice. There’s no standart method in the production of sour. In this study, the juices of koruk (Vitis vinifera) harvested at the same time were extracted, the sours were produced by five different traditional methods, some quality characteristics of the sours were determined. As a result of analysis, while the highest total phenolic and flavonoid substance, DPPH, CUPRAC values were obtained from sour in which the 5th method was applied, the lowest values were obtained from the sour in which the 1st method was applied. The sour obtained by the 1st method has the lightest color, the highest sensory scores. Considering the storage conditions of traditionally produced koruk sours, it’s thought that it’d be better to apply the 5th method in the production of sour, since it’s more economical to storage at room temperature.

Taybe APLAK , Meryem SAMIRKAŞ KOMŞU — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Environmental problems, which have become a global threat, negatively affect the future of the tourism sector, as in many areas. In the tourism sector, some environmentally sensitive activities are implemented in order to minimize environmental problems. The green star certificate given to environmentally sensitive accommodation establishments is one of the most important of these applications. This study was conducted to determine how green star hotel applications are perceived by customers. In this study, the interview method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. For this purpose, the customers of a green star hotel in Nevşehir were interviewed. Within the scope of the research, 26 participants were reached and interviews were conducted within the pre-prepared semi- structured interview form. The data obtained in this direction were analyzed by descriptive analysis method. Within the scope of the findings, it was concluded that the green star creates a positive image in the perceptions of hotel customers. In addition, the results of the research show that hotel customers differ in their perspectives on their travels after staying in a green star hotel. Mostly, it has been reached that the customers will prefer green star hotels in their next trips. However, the results of the research show that the biggest shortcoming of green star hotels is advertising and promotion activities.

The study aims to determine the criteria that university students consider when choosing an internship site. The criteria taken into consideration in the study were determined with the opinions of tourism department students within the scope of literature review and expert opinion. After the criteria were determined, a SWARA (Step-by-Step Weight Rating Ratio Analysis) swara form was created and this form was applied separately to a group of 10 students doing internship in the tourism program and a group of 10 students not doing internship. The SWARA method was applied to the data obtained from two separate student groups with the criteria form and the priorities of the criteria were determined for each student. Then, the final priorities were determined by averaging the values found for each criterion in terms of students and the ranking of the criteria was made. Accordingly, as a result of the research, it was revealed that the most important criterion for students who did not do internship was self-development opportunities in enterprises, while the most important criterion for students who did internship was accommodation facilities. At the end of the study, the findings obtained in terms of the two groups were evaluated and suggestions for future studies were presented.

Derya GÜNEY GÖLLER , Hulusi DOĞAN — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

With its surrounding seas, fascinating history, amazing nature, and rich culture, Turkey stands as a country attracting foreign tourists. Besides all these attractions, it has also been preferred for its wide range of street foods recently. Despite the importance of the phenomenon, there remains a paucity of evidence on the motivational factors that drive foreign tourists visiting Turkey to consume street foods. This study thus seeks to elicit the motivations of foreign tourists visiting Turkey for street food consumption and to find out whether their demographic characteristics exert a significant effect on their preferences for street food consumption. To this end, the data was collected from 330 participants consuming street foods in three Turkish cities visited most by foreign tourists, namely Istanbul, Antalya, and Muğla. Cultural experience stands out as the major factor motivating tourists to consume street food, while the minor ones turn out to be escape from routine and health concerns.

Elif KAYMAZ , Sevim USTA — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Edible wild herbs are used in various local dishes in terms of both their taste and health benefits. Over time, the changes in people's eating habits and the developing trends towards consuming foods that are beneficial to health have also increased the demand for grass dishes. Çiriş herb, which is consumed in certain periods of the year in the Bingöl region, is considered important in terms of its health benefits and the flavor it adds to the dishes. In this direction, the aim of the study is to determine the place of asparagus in Bingöl culinary culture. Qualitative research method was used in the research. Interviews were conducted with 11 female participants living in Istanbul, whose family origin was Bingöl. The data obtained from the participants with a semi-structured interview form were analyzed by descriptive analysis method. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that the knowledge of the participants about the dishes made with asparagus was limited. In this context, it was determined that they knew that only four dishes were made with çiriş herb, namely rice, roasted meat, soup and börek. Although it has been stated in the literature that tea is made with asparagus, all of the participants stated that they do not make tea with asparagus. Another important result is that the participants learned about the dishes made with herbs from their families. This situation has enabled the continuation of the weed culture. However, it is thought that it will be more effective to include the culture in recipe books, to increase the promotion of the herb, to include it in the official websites of the state (Culture Portal, Bingöl Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism) and to include it in restaurant menus instead of transferring the culture orally.

Hierarchical regression revealed that education level, β = .26, p = .001, is an important indicator of food safety knowledge.

Restoran İşletmelerinde Marka Kişiliğinin Tüketici Satın Alma Motivasyonları (Güdüleri) Üzerine Etkisi: Franchise İşletmesinde Bir Uygulama (The Effect of Brand Personality on Purchasing Motivations (Motives) In Restaurant Businesses: An Application in Fr

Esra ANIŞ, Ülker ÇOLAKOĞLU , Tuğrul AYYILDIZ — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the effect of brand personality on consumer buying motivations in restaurant businesses. Data were collected from consumers in an international franchise business with a branch in a shopping mall in Izmir (N=313). Relationships were examined by regression analysis. The findings show that brand personality has a low influence on consumer purchase motivation. This practice, made in an international franchise business, provides a better reflection of the potential consumers that restaurant businesses want to reach, with knowledge of brand personality and consumer buying motivations. In this context, it is thought that the research subject, results, and suggestions will contribute to and guide the literature, practice, and future researchers. Future researchers may carry out studies on a large sampling with more than one restaurant brand. Researchers who will examine brand personality in the future may use the Archetype approach, while researchers who will examine different classifications of lifestyles may use VALS typologies. They can work on the determination of the relationship between brand personality and the personality traits of consumers who buy and do not buy the brand. In addition, future researchers may investigate whether brand factors also have an effect on purchasing motivations.

Gastronomi Çalışmalarının Türkiye’deki Bilimsel Evi Neresi? Kahve Üzerine Gerçekleştirilen Araştırmalardan Hareketle Disipliner Yapıya Yönelik Bir İnceleme (Where is the Scientific Home of Gastronomy Studiesin Turkey? A Study on the Disciplinary StructureBased on Research on Coffee)

Neslihan ŞİMŞEK , Ozan GÜLER, Murat İsmet HASEKİ — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of this research is to investigate the disciplinary structure of the gastronomy field, based on the Turkish articles and theses in the domestic literature that focus on coffee. For this purpose, theses and articles on coffee were scanned according to systematic review criteria and examined according to research questions. In this context, the titles and abstracts of articles and theses filtered using the keyword "coffee" on 18.01.2023 were examined, and 87 articles and 226 theses were included in the research. When the publications on coffee are examined in terms of disciplinary differences, it is seen that the multidisciplinary field is very dominant in terms of both graduate theses and articles. It is seen that interdisciplinary researches such as marketing, tourism management and business are intense after multidisciplinary researches. When coffee-themed articles and theses prepared under the gastronomy department are examined, it has been noticed that consumer attitudes and behaviors are the most focused subject. From this point of view, it is seen that gastronomy is fed from the field of marketing in terms of explaining itself. As a result, it can be said that the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary academic interest in coffee reflects the diversity in the main structure of gastronomy research very well. Based on this result, it can be argued that in order for gastronomy to be a social science discipline on its own, qualified and original researches that determine the boundaries of the gastronomy field should be carried out.

Factors such as the level of education, lifestyle, and time management that have changed over the years have led to an increase in the interest in ready-to-eat food consumption and the formation of a consumer society. Although the systems or technological improvements developed to meet the needs of the consumer society are successful in meeting the needs of people, they are not very successful in dealing with the new problems created by the consumption frenzy. Environmental effects and pollution, which are one of the most important consequences of the excessive increase in consumption, increase due to the frequent use of disposable products as well as the increasing world population.
