It is well known that, socioeconomic development in coastal regions is in many respects are more rapid than elsewhere. The rapid development has been the outcome of recognition of these regions as a means providing ideal conditions for relatively cheap transport, food and mineral resource, petroleum, natural gas, agricultural and industrial development, housing and recreation, etc. Therefore, coastal areas are under threat due to forcing function of human activities. A novel technique addressed scenic evaluation through application of fuzzy logic methodologies to values obtained from checklist that itemized 26 human and physical parameters rated on five-point attribute scale. The methodology enabled calculation of an Evaluation Index (D) which categorizes all sites and statistically best described attribute values in terms of weighted areas. The methodology developed for coastal scenic evaluation using Fuzzy Logic Approach (FLA) is a very useful tool in making future management plans for coastal areas by simulating different human usages. With regard to coastal zone management this technique is suitable for evaluating future potential changes especially with regard to influence of coastal structures on the coastal scenery. This work will hopefully be utilized by coastal mangers, planners, academics, governmental agencies, as to improve the especially human usage of the coastal areas also this work will be a tool for the preservation and conservation and the sustainable development of the coastal areas. For the pilot site, Çirali, D values are calculated and corresponding classes are found for different attributes of parameters rising from the human usage.

It is a widely accepted fact that tourism has become a prominent part of local economic development regarding to global economic restructuring and over the last two decades many regions have achieved tourism-led local economic development. The concept of ‘Institutional Thickness’ which has been introduced within the context of institutional turn in economic geography and discussed intensively in local economic development context has important implications for tourism-led local economic development. The con...
A case study on the submerged berm type coastal defense structures
Özler, Başar; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
Coastal defense structures are built in order to protect valuable coastal regions from the destructive effects of the waves. Due to the cost of coastal defense structures and the economical potential of the coastal regions, failure of such structures could cause loss of high amounts of investment. Therefore in the design and construction of coastal structures, it is of vital importance to achieve an optimum design which is not neither underdesigned nor overdesigned. In this study, Submerged Berm type coasta...
Integrated evaluation of urban regeneration projects: case study of Sulukule neighborhood in İstanbul
Hokmabad Ghoshouni, Samira; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2018)
The rapid increase of population and urbanization as well as many other contextual factors has led to the urban decline phenomenon. Under rubrics such as urban transformation, the urban regeneration projects have been one of the widely and frequently utilized approaches, which perpetuated within the recent decades to cope with the phenomenon, and this includes both the developed and the developing countries. However, there always have been different arguments and criticism about the aim and the outputs of t...
Kentler ve Yeni Kentsel Kuramlar: Kentleşmeyi Merkezine Alan Üç Kuram Üzerine
Yetişkul Şenbil, Emine (2020-10-01)
Today, the majority of the population living in cities is expected to increase with the continuation of urbanization trend in the near future. It is known that the cities of the future will be different from the cities of today. At this point, the importance of the researches about the cities increases. In this article, three recent urbanization approaches, Planetary Urbanization, Postcolonial Urbanization and Assemblage Urbanization will be discussed. The common feature of these three approaches, which hav...
Evaluation of effects of thermal tourism on local economy : the case of Thermal District of Yalova
Piri, Taner; Kayasü, Serap; Department of City and Regional Planning (2012)
Tourism and local economic development are closely linked. Tourism can have a constructive effect on local economy and may help balance some of the inequalities between different parts of a country. Thus, in many regions in the world, the tourism sector is accepted as one of the greatest sources of economic growth and job creation. In line with economic contribution of the sector, tourism policy has become an instrument for territorial development and for enhancing an area’s opportunities. It appears that t...
