| الوصف: | Tourism, as a booming industry, plays a significant role in shaping economies and cultural exchanges worldwide. However, the rapid growth of tourism has brought about both positive economic impacts and negative environmental consequences. This research delves into the environmental effects of tourism activities through the lens of sustainable tourism. Focusing on Niksar Çamiçi Plateau, a transition zone between Central Anatolia and the Black Sea Region, situated at an altitude of 1350 meters, the study aims to identify the specific environmental impacts resulting from tourism activities in this unique location. The research adopts participant observation and semi-structured interviews as data collection methods, enabling a comprehensive understanding of tourists’ and locals’ behaviors and practices concerning the environment. The findings highlight the pressing issues of unplanned development, urban sprawl, migration, and environmental pollution in regions experiencing concentrated tourism activities. In response to these challenges, the study proposes a set of sustainable tourism solutions to mitigate environmental degradation. Recommendations include promoting responsible tourism practices, reducing the carbon footprint, promoting environmentally friendly accommodation and transportation, and implementing effective waste management strategies. Additionally, raising awareness among tourists and local communities about the importance of preserving natural resources and cultural heritage emerges as a crucial approach. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable tourism by providing valuable insights into the complex relationship between tourism and the environment, particularly in Niksar Çamiçi Plateau. By advocating for sustainable practices, the research aims to strike a balance between economic growth and environmental conservation, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between tourism and the ecosystem. |
