Popis: The widespreadtype of production in rural section is agriculture, but agriculture, alone, isnot able to provide employment for the rural population. Therefore, alternativeactivities which would increase the employment, solve the immigration problemand diversify the income should be expanded in rural areas (Kuter & Ünal,2013). Agriculture plays an important role to provide sustainable development,to alleviate hunger and poverty (Schaller, 1993; Roy & Chan, 2012). On theother hand, sustainable agriculture should be sustainable ecologically, shouldbe equal socially, should be applicable economically, and should be supportablepolitically (Schaller, 1993; Roy & Chan, 2012). Sustainability, one of themain components of rural development, reveals the major factors of agriculture-tourism concept (Ivona, 2003). Agrotourism, as a rural development factor; isassessed as a sub- type of rural tourism and ecotourism which is generallyapplied in disadvantaged agricultural lands (Demirbaş Topçu, 2007; Sungur,2012; Çetin et al., 2017). Agrotourism is not a tool of development for localpeople of the area which is dependent on agricultural production but it is alsoimportant for enabling the sustainability of the agricultural areas (DemirbaşTopçu, 2007). Within this context as the research area, Kuyucak Village ofKeçiborlu District of Isparta Province is hereby selected, which is animportant settlement in terms of ecotourism potential due to its lavenderfields and cultural values. Kuyucak Village with lavender agricultural to setan example for agrotourism studies in Turkey, have been effective in selectedareas. In this study, “How should Kuyucak Village utilize lavender agriculturaltourism within the scope of rural planning?” was searched for.The history of thevillage of Kuyucak with lavender started in 1975 with a pot of lavender, whichwas given to him by the owner of the rose oil factory after his visit toFrance. This pot was replicated with lavender steel method and distributed toKeçiborlu farmers. More seedlings were provided for Kuyucak Village. Lavenderwas first used as a hedge plant around the rose gardens, which are important inhome gardens and Isparta production. In 1990s, lavender cultivation becamewidespread commercially in Kuyucak Village with the decrease in prices in roseproduction (Ministry of Culture and Tourism, 2019). With the “Future in Tourism”project carried out by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), theMinistry of Culture and Tourism and Anadolu Efes, the recognition of the regionas “Lavender Scented Village” has increased.Kuyucak Villagewith lavender fields, is one of the places come to mind first known asagrotourism in Turkey. Kuyucak Village is to meet the 93% of Turkey'sproduction of lavender, is a pioneer in the study of agrotourism (Başaran,2017). Lavender is an important part of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region,a cultural and economic symbol of the region (Monge, 2013), and is also knownas one of the indispensable elements of the landscape (Dossier de presse,2013). In recent years, the village of Kuyucak has been compared with theAlpes-Côte d'Azur region of France, which is considered a role model inagrotourism (Bilgiç et al., 2016). With the increasing demand for lavender inrecent years, lavender lands have increased to over 3000 decares (Güler &Korkmaz, 2018). Kuyucak Village has been branded in terms of lavenderagriculture and rural tourism and provided an alternative livelihood to localpeople (Ongun et al., 2018). For these reasons, lavender agrotourism as thefactor of rural development constitutes the main subject of this study.In this research,the existing situation of the region regarding lavender cultivation wasevaluated and the opinions of local people were taken. In this context, surveywas conducted in the study. In the evaluation of the questionnaires, chi-squaretest and frequency analysis were performed by using SPSS 25 program. Thechi-square test concluded that all age groups are interested in lavenderagriculture. Frequency analysis found that 12% of tourists from lavenderby-products prefer lavender Turkish coffee and 11.7% prefer lavender crown. Inthis scope, it has been seen that lavender agriculture in particular has animportant potential for rural development and local identity for KuyucakVillage. As a conclusion, relevantresults and suggestions were discussed within the context of theagriculture-tourism works in the rural areas and the sustainability of lavenderagriculture in the study area.
