Abstract
In parallel with the developments in tourism activities in the world, the study is about eco-villagers who are becoming popular in our country. The diversity of services of eco-villages desired to respond to the expectations of large and diverse tourist communities requires that eco-villagers have their own unique design with very different sizes and service capacities. Due to such reasons, eco-villages cannot be standardized like star hotels. One of the consequences of this situation is that there is no definite definition about eco-villages in the literature. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the elements of eco-village that define a tourism structure. For this purpose, identification approaches related to eco-villages have been determined which are effective in shaping the original character of eco-villages in the light of these approaches. Conceptual inferences have been made in the light of findings obtained by leading researchers in the subject area by scanning the concepts they used to describe sustainable community utopia from the 16th century to the 21st century. In the light of these concepts, seven characteristic elements that are effective in shaping eco-villages have been identified according to their frequency of use. These concepts are summarized in 8 main topics. Conceptual headings formed as new life style creation, communal life, urban solution, proposal of settlement, creation of holistic system, eco-village interpretation, structural structure and joint harmony are also divided into subheadings according to the literature knowledge obtained from the approaches of utopists. In the light of these concepts, seven characteristic elements that have been effective in shaping eco-villages have been identified and the frequency of use of these concepts has been tried to be determined. Eco-villages development of a new lifestyle in tourist mobility, supporting communal life, seeking solutions to urban problems, residential models reflecting regional characteristics, reinterpretation of eco-villages and structural characteristics of eco-villages in the holistic system, and the frequency of use of these concepts are evaluated according to conceptual approaches of some of the utopians researchers. Basic hypotheses of the research started to be established at this stage. It is aimed that these hypotheses can serve for eco-village settlement planning in Turkey, location, site selection, geographical features, installation purposes and target audience expectations.
