OpenAlex English

Gastronomy is an important tool in ensuring the sustainability of intangible cultural assets and using them as a touristic supply. Women who practice the local food culture play an important role in preserving and correctly transferring gastronomic products to future generations. Women's cooperatives undertake an important intermediary role in bringing the female workforce to the economic structure. In this context, the awareness and attitudes of the members of the Niğde Denee women's cooperative about the gastronomic products of the region were investigated. The views of women on the marketing of gastronomic products were evaluated. Within the scope of the research, a questionnaire, one of the quantitative research methods, was applied to the members of the Denee Women's Cooperative in Yeşilburç Village of Niğde Province. As a result of the analysis of the questionnaires, it has been determined that the women who are members of the cooperative support the use of local products within the framework of gastronomic tourism. As a result of the study, suggestions were developed for the gastronomic values of Niğde to be more involved in tourism with the support of women's cooperatives.
