It is an indisputable fact that planning approach has experienced a change accompanied by the economic, political and social restructuring throughout the world since beginning of twentieth century. In line with this process, tourism planning has also witnessed a change as research in this field puts forward. A review of approaches to tourism development planning indicates that economic oriented consideration first changed into a more integrated and comprehensive approach. Then, it is moved to more sustainable and participatory approaches. However, the change in tourism planning approach does not follow the same process in countries having different economic, political and social structures. Thus, tourism planning literature originating from mainly western studies is not explanatory for these countries. Within this context, this thesis focuses on revealing the change in tourism planning approach in Turkey with an emphasis on the change in definition of tourism land use concepts and plan decisions with reference to aims and instruments of tourism planning set by Turkish government. In order to show this, a case study was conducted in South Antalya Tourism Area which has always been the main focus of state intervention in order to develop tourism since the 1970s. vi Results of the thesis show that the planning process of tourism was the derivative of national tourism policy based on comprehensive planning approach in the 1970s, however, with the enactment of Tourism Encouragement Law No. 2634 in 1982 the planning process started to function according to the demand of tourism investors causing tourism planning to change from comprehensive holistic planning to market-led partial planning. This has been limited only to physical solutions and economic gain ignoring social, leisure perspectives and holistic planning principles particularly since 2000s.

Alpan, Açalya; Tuna, Numan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2014)
With the establishment of SPI (State Planning Institution) in 1960, Turkey entered the ‘planned period’, and ‘planning’ became the major means of the State for realizing its intentions and producing or reproducing space. However, it is argued in the dissertation that another major agent in these production and reproduction processes is ‘society’, which generates its own tools of sanction to impose its will on the space. As a result, space is actually reproduced both by the State and by society and what is a...

Urbanization strategies have usually been shaped by the historical changes in economic and political discourses in a society.
