Abstract
This study addresses the utilization of sustainable energy resources. It aims to uncover the initiatives taken by the accommodation businesses in Hakkâri to use sustainable energy resources. To achieve this, a field study was carried out in the Center, Çukurova, and Yüksekova Districts of the city by employing qualitative research methodologies involving interviews. In-depth interviews were conducted with a study group comprised of five managers selected through non-random snowball sampling. The data collected from the field were subjected to descriptive analysis and presented within the thematic framework. The findings revealed that accommodation businesses are not only concentrated on water conservation but also make efforts to treat polluted water. Additionally, the findings suggested that addressing the infrastructure challenges in the region could lead to a gradual enhancement of environmental awareness.
