Abstrakt

Cel: Celem niniejszego badania było stworzenie rankingu regionów turystycznych w prowincji M’sila (Algieria) na podstawie zestawu kryteriów naukowych oraz nadanie priorytetów ich rozwojowi.

Metodyka: W badaniu zastosowano program Expert Choice (EC) oparty na metodzie Analitycznego Procesu Hierarchicznego (AHP). Przeprowadzono również wywiady z ekspertami w celu identyfikacji i określenia najważniejszych kryteriów głównych i podrzędnych, a następnie oszacowania względnej wagi każdego kryterium.

Wyniki: Badania wskazują, że kryterium „naturalne” zajęło pierwsze miejsce z wynikiem 41,9%, następnie kryterium „historyczno-cywilizacyjne” – 33,8%, dalej kryterium „kulturowe” – 12,7%, natomiast kryterium „dostępność” uplasowało się na ostatnim miejscu z wynikiem 11,5%.

Implikacje i rekomendacje: Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników zaleca się zwrócenie szczególnej uwagi na obszary przyrodnicze, zwłaszcza Chott El Hodna, stanowiska archeologiczne, m.in. twierdzę Beni Hammad, źródła termalne oraz niezbędną infrastrukturę.

Oryginalność/wartość: Badanie ma na celu zaproponowanie modelu opartego na metodzie AHP służącego do oceny obszarów turystycznych oraz identyfikacji najbardziej znaczących miejsc.
