Ekoturizm, doğal ve kültürel ortamları içeren bir turizm türü olması bakımından kaynakların korunması ve sürdürülebilir kullanımını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Sürdürülebilir ekoturizmde, günlük yaşamlarını etkileyen yerel halkın turizm planlama faaliyetlerine katılımının sağlanması ana unsur olarak kabul edilmektedir. Araştırmada Bingöl Ilıcalar Beldesi’nin ekoturizm ve rekreasyon amaçlı sürdürülebilir kullanımı için yerel halkın turizme yönelik taleplerinin, katılım düzeylerinin, peyzaj altyapı ihtiyaçlarının ve uygun turizm alternatiflerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden yararlanılan çalışmada; nitel veriler arazide yapılan inceleme ve gözlemlere, nicel veriler ise yöre halkı ile yüz yüze yapılan anket sonuçlarına dayanmaktadır. Araştırma alanında yapılan incelemelerde Belde’nin ekoturizm ve rekreasyon amaçlı altı potansiyel kaynağı belirlenmiştir. Yöre halkı ile yapılan anket sonucuna göre ise; Ilıcalar Beldesi halkının turizme olumlu yaklaştığı ve büyük oranda (%84,7) turizmin geliştirilmesine destek verdiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu (%82,8) yöre için en uygun turizm türü olarak termal-kaplıca turizmini görmekte olup termal turizmden sonra ise ekoturizm türleri olarak değerlendirilebilen doğa gözlemciliği (%56,7), bisiklet turizmi (%55,8), tarımsal turizm (%54,9) ve dağcılığı (%54,4) yüksek oranlarda talep etmektedir. Sonuç olarak araştırma alanında turizmden daha fazla yarar sağlayabilmek için turizm planının bütüncül olarak ele alınması, alanda bir taraftan termal turizm olanakları iyileştirilirken diğer taraftan da doğal peyzajının da planlamaya dâhil edilmesi önerilmektedir. Yörenin ekoturizm ve rekreasyon amaçlı kullanımı için altyapı ihtiyaçlarının giderilmesi gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır.

As a result, in order to gain more benefit from tourism in the field of research, the tourism plan is considered as a holistic approach, while the thermal tourism opportunities in the area are being improved, it is recommended that the natural landscape be included in planning. The requirement of the elimination of infrastructure needs for the use of the region for ecotourism and recreation purposes is emphasized.
