Journal Title: Denizcilik Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The concept of “eco-marina” could be discussed in the environmental aspect of the sustainability of marinas, one of the key elements of marine tourism. The aim of this study is to make a literature review around the concept of eco-marina and to provide to glimpse lots of articles by making a content analysis of academic studies. Dokuz Eylul University Electronic Library that served on EBSCOhost is used as a source of the content analysis for the literature review. As a result of the literature review, it is proved that there is no academic study about the concept of eco-marina directly, so the study is intensified around the terms of “green port”, “sustainable port-marina”, “eco- label” etc. After the search by these terms, 26 studies have been selected to use in the content analysis. As a remarkable result of the study; academic studies around eco-marina have been started in 2000’s, by a majority handled in 2015, in the main done by academician in universities and mostly researched by institutions from Turkey. It’s interpreted that; the results of this content analysis can be used for the studies which have an aim of presenting the eco-marina criteria those marinas should fulfil. Being that the studies about this subject are very few, make this content analysis more important.
