PROTECTION PRIORITY PLANNING OF TOURISM AND AGRICULTURE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BARTIN KIZILKUM-MUGADA COASTAL REGION

Abstract

The risk of being adversely affected of landscape by unplanned tourism developments is the main problem of this study. Within the scope of the study, it was aimed to deteulline the ecological protection priorities and develop sectoral strategies within the scope of sustainable development in accordance with the protection priorities. The method consists of four stages. In the first stage, the printed and digital data were collected. In the second stage; maps (geology/topography/soil/landcover) were classified in GIS environment. Population projection was calculated and the relationship between agriculture and tourism activities and the environment was defined using the DPSIR method. In the third stage, Water Process Analysis was performed in order to reveal the hydrological structure of the landscape and Erosion Process Analysis was performed by applying the ICONA erosion risk method, According to the results; 7.4% of the area is sensitive in terms of water process and 45% is sensitive in terms of erosion process. 8 factors that put pressure on tourism and agriculture driving forces have been identified. In the last stage, Sustainable Landscape, Environmentally Friendly Sectoral Development and -Sectoral Integration strategies have been developed on the axis of agriculture and tourism.
