    Developing a Landscape Planning Approach for the Areas Having Unique Landscape Characteristics: The Case Of Bozcaada
    (Univ Namik Kemal, 2009) Ayhan, C. K.; Hepcan, S.
    Bozcaada, having distinctive landscape characteristics and being mostly within historical and natural protection sites, has been under heavy pressure of tourism and recreational oriented land use demands that contradict with its identical activities such as, traditional agriculture and winemaking. In this respect, in our study, a landscape planning method has been developed for the land with distinctive landscape characteristics and executed in the case of Bozcaada in order to materialize some guidelines for existing and/or future land use demands and priorities towards achieving ecologically sustainable spatial uses. During the process, the island was divided into 57 squares in dimensions of 1km x 1km in order to be able to better investigate the island. As a result of the applied method; where as protection as a land use type takes the first priority 27 squares; tourism-recreation, agriculture, settlements receive the highest scores totally in 16, 12 and 2 squares respectively. Based upon these results, further evaluations and solutions have been formulated especially for the land uses distinguished with the problematic potentials on the island.

    IDENTIFYING THE REGENERATION OF FORESTS POST-FIRE WITH REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES AND EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF FOREST REGENERATION ON THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE CHARACTER: A CASE STUDY OF ERENKOY/CANAKKALE
    (Scibulcom Ltd, 2016) Yilmaz, O.; Ayhan, C. K.
    Canakkale Province has a total surface area of 996 000 ha of which 513 000 ha are covered with forests. In other words, 52% of the surface area consists of forests, including Kaz (Ida) Mountain, rich in endemic species. However, this valuable forest area had significant losses due to the fires in the last 10 years. On the 30th July 2008, the largest forest fire of the last 10 years occurred in Erenkoy area and 1464 ha were burnt. This region is located at the entrance of the Dardanelles where Canakkale naval wars (1915) took place, and has significant value in terms of both historical and natural landscape character. In this study, the area which was destroyed in the fire in 2008 has been identified using remote sensing techniques. In order to determine the environmental structure changes, NDVI vegetation tissue density analysis has been conducted and differences in vegetation intensity have been examined. The losses and changes in natural landscape characters have been studied on the basis of flora and fauna. During the study process, the landscape has been defined on the basis of natural and cultural features and its character has been classified. The existing and potential destructions in the area have been identified and landscape planning decisions were suggested to resolve the degradation.

    METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF THE POTENTIAL FOR ECOTOURISM IN THE CANAKKALE WARS GALLIPOLI HISTORICAL AREA (CANAKKALE, TURKEY)
    (Scibulcom Ltd, 2016) Cengiz, A. E.; Ayhan, C. K.; Timur, U. P.
    The Canakkale Wars Gallipoli Historical Area (CWGHA) has national and international importance due to its historical and natural value. The area is rich in terms of its biodiversity, untouched coasts, archaeological sites, wetland. It has value as important natural and cultural resource potential for any type of tourism activity in the region. The aim of this study is to find out the potential of ecotourism, which might be one of the important means of conserving the natural and cultural resource assets of the CWGHA. For this purpose, the method of Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) was applied to question the potential for ecotourism in rural areas. In this context, the potential of ecotourism and sustainable development of the area was questioned. According to the research results, there are not any residential unit which has the 'High' ecotourism opportunities. The five of the settlements (Kilitbahir, Alcitepe, Seddulbahir, Buyuk Anafarta, Kucuk Anafarta) were determined in terms of ecotourism opportunities 'Moderate' grade, while Behramli, Kocadere and Bigali villages were Tow' grade. These eight villages have an average potential for ecotourism activities. However, it is very clear that this potential can be applied considering the correct planning decisions and the balance of use - conservation. Various issues relating to the current state of the settlers were discussed. Also several recommendations were made based on protection to increase the ecotourism potential of these villages.
