    Determination of ecotourism potential in national parks: Troy historical national park, Canakkale-Turkey
    (Triveni Enterprises, 2020) Cengiz, A. E.
    Aims: Troy Historical National Park (THNP) is of national/international importance especially thanks to its historical, archaeological, and natural potential. This research is generally intended to determine the ecological/economic/social capacity needed at the stage of sustaining ecotourism together with the natural and cultural potential required to develop ecotourism in the villages within the study area. Methodology: For this purpose, a method based on inventory studies was employed in the research and the data were quantified. First of all, the analysis and synthesis issues which were effective in determining the ecotourism potential in rural areas and which were available in the study by Golany (1976) (ecological, economic, and social data) were presented. Assessment forms on the data concerned were drawn up and the six villages in THNP were scored in terms of their ecotourism potential. At the stage of scoring, they were assessed on the basis of the method employed, also considering the comprehensive literature studies and fieldwork as well as the notes taken during the face-to-face interviews with six village headmen and the notables of the village (about ten people per village). Results: As a result of scoring, there was a village settlement (Tevfikiye) with High ecotourism potential in the THNP and its ecotourism score was 74, Of the villages, four (Ciplak, Halileli, Kumkale, and Yenikoy) were regarded as settlements with Moderate ecotourism potential. Although these settlements took values ranging from 49 to 73, the village settlement with the highest ecotourism potential among them was Kumkale with 72 points. On the other hand, the village settlements with Low ecotourism potential look values between 24 and 48; therefore, Kalafat with 44 points was determined as the village settlement with the lowest ecotourism potential. The nine fundamental study areas presented by Wheeler (2003) regarding sustainable ecotourism planning in rural settlements were scrutinized on the basis of the villages within the THNP and proposals were made for the realization and continuity of aresponsible ecotourism movement in the area. Interpretations: Even though the villages within the THNP have potential for constituting sources for ecotourism in natural and cultural terms, they need to be developed and supported economically and socially. Ecotourism is an essential source of tourism for the region: moreover, both the THNP and the villages located within its boundaries can become a region where ecotourism develops and also contributes to local economy upon the planning studies to be carried out in the following process.

    DETERMINATION OF SENSITIVE LANDSCAPES FOR LANDFILL: SIVAS CASE/TURKEY
    (Scibulcom Ltd, 2019) Karadag, A. A.; Cengiz, A. E.; Demiroglu, D.
    Due to the increase of the world population and changing living conditions, the waste amount is increasing exponentially. This situation threatens landscape. This study aims to determine sensitive landscapes in terms of landfills. Sensitive landscapes are the areas with low capacity to absorb innovation and change caused by space use. The study was conducted in Sivas. In this study, were evaluated 10 criteria as follows: rock type, proximity to fault lines, hydrological soil groups in order to protect underground water resources; proximity to water resources in order to protect water surface; erosion risk areas to prevent erosion; slope in terms of erosion and groundwater; land capability classes and large soil groups to protect soils of high agricultural value; aspect to prevent bad odour and fast decay; vegetation cover terms of protecting habitats, preventing erosion and infiltration. The results showed that the area has very high sensitivity with 3.16%, high sensitivity with 28.76%, moderate sensitivity with 51.85%, low sensitivity with 15.77% and very low sensitivity with 0.46%. As a result, landscapes sensitive to landfill should not be treated as waste disposal sites and should be protected. In addition, these criteria should be considered as a criterion in the landfill site selection process.

    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.

    MIGRATION-REFUGEES AND OPEN-GREEN SPACES: KILIS CASE, TURKEY
    (Scibulcom Ltd, 2019) Demiroglu, D.; Coban, A.; Karadag, A. A.; Cengiz, A. E.
    Today most important migration movement is taking place in Syria due to the civil war. Most of the Syrian asylum-seekers have sought refuge in Turkey. The migration has led to many problems in the areas such as physical, social, cultural and economical in the country. One of these areas is urban open and green spaces. This research was conducted in Kilis city in Turkey as one of the the most affected places by this mass migration.The quantitative characteristics of the open and green areas in the study area were evaluated on the basis of legal standards and social sustainability. The findings show that the existing open and green spaces in the study area are insufficient in terms of social integration against the increasing population. As a result, open and green spaces, especially in the settlements located at the border, should be planned and designed taking into consideration the migration situation.
