Summary: | This study seeks to assess the recreational experience preferences and satisfaction levels of both local residents and
second home owners in Alanya. Research findings were obtained from 396 participants through a questionnaire using
convenience sampling method. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA tests were applied to analyse the data. As a result of the
research, it was determined that the participants mostly visited friends, could not participate in activities due to time constraints
and expected recreational areas to be cleaner. While the majority of the participants in the research define the concept of
recreation correctly, it can be said that they prefer to participate in outdoor recreation activities and participate in the activities
with their friends. Resident foreigners attach more importance to social recognition, skill development and achievement
experiences than local people. Furthermore, the satisfaction level of resident foreigners with recreational areas is higher than the
local people. The independent variables account for 15% of the variation in the dependent variable.
