Abstract

Driven by the improvement of smart technologies, social credit system (SCS) as a planning and management tool is estimated to spread over the world in the near future. This study reveals basic components, functioning and the estimated impact of SCS on stakeholders within tourism system and destinations. In this context, the resources regarding SCS and the relationship between SCS and tourism system were examined and critical assessment was made on this relationship. Later, cross-evaluation was made on information regarding SCS literature, studies on tourism planning and policy development. The social (panopticon norms, novel privacy perspective, social stratification, acculturation to the homogenous culture and uncivil behavior), economical (soft power, rising costs and leakage rate, decreasing investments and competition power, oligopoly market), and environmental (reducing wastage, rising pollution taxes) effects of SCS on the tourism system were projected and theoretical and practical implications were accordingly made.

Özet

Akıllı teknolojilerin gelişmesiyle hareket eden bir planlama ve yönetim aracı olan sosyal kredi sisteminin (SCS) yakın gelecekte tüm dünyaya yayılacağı tahmin edilmektedir. Bu çalışma, SCS'nin turizm sistemi ve destinasyonları içindeki paydaşlar üzerindeki temel bileşenlerini, işleyişini ve tahmini etkisini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu kapsamda SCS ile turizm sistemi arasındaki ilişki ve SCS ile ilgili kaynaklar incelenmiş ve bu ilişki üzerine eleştirel bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Daha sonra SCS literatürü, turizm planlaması ve politika geliştirme çalışmaları ile ilgili bilgiler üzerinde çapraz değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Sosyal (panoptikon normları, yeni mahremiyet perspektifi, sosyal tabakalaşma, homojen kültüre kültürlenme ve medeni olmayan davranış), ekonomik (yumuşak güç, artan maliyetler ve kaçak oranı, azalan yatırımlar ve rekabet gücü, oligopol piyasası) ve çevresel (israfın azaltılması, artan kirlilik vergileri) SCS'nin turizm sistemi üzerindeki etkileri projelendirilmiş ve buna göre teorik ve pratik çıkarımlar yapılmıştır.
