Öğe DETERMINATION OF THE VITAL ECOLOGICAL NETWORKS: THE CASE OF EUROPEAN SIDE OF TURKEY(Scibulcom Ltd, 2016) Yilmaz, R.; Yilmaz, O.The European side of Turkey is under environmental pressure due to the intensive use land. In this study, the identification of existing ecological value and ecological networks planning possibilities were explored. Within the scope of this research, a general overview of the status of the ecologic corridors forming the ecologic networks on the European side of Turkey was exhibited with 1/100 000 scale. The corridor areas, which are determined by prioritising the vegetative density and area usage decisions, are important elements that provide livelihood of the living in the area. There is a very dense human-oriented pressure on the peninsula due to reasons such as agriculture, industry and rapid population increase. It is necessary to support the ecologic corridors, one of the most important arguments to decrease the damage to the ecologic diversity on the peninsula, and preserve them. This study evaluates the Turkish side of the Thrace Peninsula. However, the same study needs to be evaluated in the sides of Greece and Bulgaria. It is necessary to conduct the Balkans ecologic network system planning in a holistic way. The ecologic network planning studies of the European side of Turkey should be conducted cross-border along with Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria and other Balkan countries. The cross-border needs to be planned altogether to preserve and develop the ecologic network.Öğe SWOT ANALYSIS OF ECOTOURISM AS A TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A CASE RESEARCH IN NORTH-WEST BLACK SEA COASTAL ZONE OF TURKEY(Scibulcom Ltd, 2013) Yilmaz, O.; Mansuroglu, S.; Yilmaz, R.Social and environmental impacts, responses and indicators are reviewed for the mainstream tourism sector worldwide, in five categories: population, peace, prosperity, pollution and protection, tourism contributions to urban development, material consumption, and pressure on protected areas. Depending on the improvement of environmental consciousness, new trends appeared and innovation and diversity increased in tourism. In recent years, tourism has been playing a more significant role in the economies of several developing countries, including Turkey. Ecotourism is seen as a tool for conservation and sustainable development. Coastal zone of Black Sea extending along the north and north-west part of the region, however, is a protected zone with regards to its natural values. Integrated ecosystems of forests, coastal zones, mountains, wetlands and dunes have both ecological and economical values for the people living in the arae. An alternative activity, which gives priority to the protection of natural and cultural values, should be improved for the people. In this research, it was aimed to determine ecotourism developments by using SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis in north-west Black Sea coast of Turkey. SWOT analysis is a method related to the analysis of the situation of the area in terms of external (opportunities and threats - OT) and internal (strengths, weaknesses SW) factors. In this study, the ecotourism development of the area located between Bulgaria border and Istanbul, which is placed on the north-west Black Sea coastal zone of Turkey, has been evaluated via SWOT analysis, according to the landscape planning principles. Determination of ecotourism potential in the areas with high eco-tourism potential and formation of a landscape management plan are the issues that have been studied in terms of different perspectives. It is important that a planning be done for the increase of opportunities and strengths determined according to the analysis results. On the other hand, this planning process aims to decrease the weaknesses and threats as well. As a result, natural and cultural features of north-west Black Sea coastal zone of Turkey are suitable for alternative tourism. But the links between tourism, prosperity and sustainability are complex. When eco-tourism is planned well, it provides benefits for providing the sustainability of natural and cultural resources and bringing environmental, economic and social concerns together.Öğe Swot analysis of ecotourism as a tool for sustainable development: A case research in north-west black sea coastal zone of Turkey(2013) Yilmaz, O.; Mansuroglu, S.; Yilmaz, R.Social and environmental impacts, responses and indicators are reviewed for the mainstream tourism sector worldwide, in five categories: population, peace, prosperity, pollution and protection, tourism contributions to urban development, material consumption, and pressure on protected areas.

The percent of LU/LC types has been calculated by using of geographic information systems. The results of the satellite based on land cover classes have been accomplished matched with the CORINE (Coordination of Information on the Environment) database. In this study, land use/land cover changes concerning 2018 have been analysed and compared to previous data of LU/LC changes concerning 1987 and 2000 in Silivri. Satellite images from 1987, 2000, and 2018 were monitored and used to determine the multi-temporal changes in the same area. The study reports changes of land use/land cover over 13 + 18 = 31 years period (1987-2000-2018) in Silivri District, West-South part of Istanbul, Turkey. The study results indicate that increases due to 'artificial surfaces' land use will affect negatively the agricultural lands, forest and natural grasslands. Finally, the artificial surfaces reached to approximately 53% of study area in 2018. Population and populated areas expanded in parallel with the expansion in industrial areas and the construction of the motorway. Urban fabric area reached to 19% in 2018 and it shows a continuous increase. As a result, this study will form an important basis for the planning of the region based on ecological and sustainable planning principles, by following the alteration in LU/LC as multi-temporal.
