Abstract

Tourism plays an important role in the process of heritage conservation. The sustainable development of cultural tourism which seeks a balance between economic activities, social cohesion and the preservation of cultural resources, appears to be a prominent solution to achieve a tourism that sustains heritage in a suitable way. Laghouat is a city located in south of Algeria, where the Ksour are considered a fundamental element of culture and authenticity. Today these Ksour and especially Ksar Laghouat, is suffering from deterioration and neglect. The aim of this research is to explore the sustainable cultural tourism dimensions in Laghouat city in Algeria. Through a survey, it tried to examine the dynamics of cultural tourism and its potential impact on heritage preservation.

Özet

Turizm, miras koruma sürecinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Ekonomik faaliyetler, sosyal uyum ve kültürel kaynakların korunması arasında bir denge arayan kültürel turizmin sürdürülebilir gelişimi, mirası uygun bir şekilde sürdüren bir turizm elde etmek için önemli bir çözüm gibi görünmektedir. Laghouat, Cezayir'in güneyinde bulunan ve Ksour'un kültür ve özgünlüğün temel bir unsuru olarak kabul edildiği bir şehirdir. Bugün bu Ksour ve özellikle Ksar Laghouat, yaygın bir bozulma ve ihmalden dolayı muzdariptir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Cezayir'deki Laghouat şehrinde sürdürülebilir kültür turizmi boyutlarını keşfetmektir. Şehrin yerel sakinleriyle bir anket yoluyla etkileşim kurarak, kültürel turizmin dinamiklerini ve miras koruması üzerindeki potansiyel etkisini incelemeye çalışmıştır.
