    CREATING A NATIONAL PARK GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM: A CASE STUDY FOR THE MOUNT IDA
    (Bulgarian Cartographic Assoc, 2014) Gulgen, F.; Basaraner, M.; Yucel, M. A.; Cetinkaya, S.
    Geographic information systems are essential tools for planning, monitoring, management and sustainable use of resources of national parks. In this study, we present a case study for national park geographic information system for the Mount Ida. For this purpose, topographic maps at 1:25000 scale, GPS-based trekking and climbing routes, campgrounds and other thematic information (flora, fauna, preserved areas, promenade places, forests, biodiversity, campgrounds etc.) and CORINE data obtained from the Turkish National Park Service have been used. Feature and attribute catalogue has been created for the national park with focus on nature-based tourism and outdoor recreation. As a result, national park geographic information system will help carry out national park services efficiently.

    MONITORING METAL POLLUTION LEVELS IN MINE WASTES AROUND A COAL MINE SITE USING GIS
    (Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh, 2017) Yucel, D. Sanliyuksel; Yucel, M. A.; Ileri, B.
    In this case study, metal pollution levels in mine wastes at a coal mine site in Etili coal mine (Can coal basin, NW Turkey) are evaluated using geographical information system (GIS) tools. Etili coal mine was operated since the 1980s as an open pit. Acid mine drainage is the main environmental problem around the coal mine. The main environmental contamination source is mine wastes stored around the mine site. Mine wastes were dumped over an extensive area along the riverbeds, and are now abandoned. Mine waste samples were homogenously taken at 10 locations within the sampling area of 102.33 ha. The paste pH and electrical conductivity values of mine wastes ranged from 2.87 to 4.17 and 432 to 2430 mu S/cm, respectively. Maximum Al, Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn and Ni concentrations of wastes were measured as 109300, 70600, 309.86, 115.2, 38 and 5.3 mg/kg, respectively. The Al, Fe and Pb concentrations of mine wastes are higher than world surface rock average values. The geochemical analysis results from the study area were presented in the form of maps. The GIS based environmental database will serve as a reference study for our future work.
