ABSTRACT
Turkey has come a long way in the development process and reached
a degree in which regional and local changes became more visible
concerning the distribution and density of economic activity in
the place.
Local development implicates
social, political and cultural elements as well as economic ones.
The approach accepted in the first two of Five-Year Development
Plan as the priority to the less developed regions changed into
the shape of giving incitement to some cities determined in 1968.
The approach about local government's that have the priority in
development was taken in hand in the 3rd Plan. In Turkey a concious
local development policy able to set the economic activities in
motion may be put in practice is touristic values.
Tourism is a kind of activity
which is economic considering the foreign currency and employment
and socio-cultural considering its ability to meet people's needs
and to bring different cultures together. It is ability to create
the demand for the best use of resources. Tourism can be evaluated
as a kind of strategy appealed for the effective use of the country
resources, for the country's development, wealth and superiority
in the international area.
Turkey has been a place in
which many cultures have came together for centuries as a result
of its location connecting three different continents. So, in
every part of our country there is the historical and in the other
parts of the world. Safranbolu is one of the rarely found museum-cities
that we have.
The purpose of this study
is to emphasize the role of tourism activities in the economic,socio-cultural
and architectural development of a place by means of Safranbolu
model which has a twenty-five-year background.
