Protected Turkish areas in the Mediterranean region are compared with those of other Mediterranean countries. Policies followed in Turkey for conservation protection of the natural and cultural environment and the use of coastal resources for tourism are discussed. The purpose and application of Turkish law is examined with respect to the interaction between the protection of coastal areas and tourism. Modifications on the administrative and management regulations in Turkey enabling a better use of coastal areas is suggested by combining coastal tourism and protection. The necessity and importance of establishing and managing Marine Parks in short- and long-term plans are acknowledged.

Spatial variations of active stress patterns and frequencymagnitude distribution of earthquakes in Western Anatolia, Turkey Shah, S Tanvir; Özacar, Atilla Arda (null; 2018-04-23) Western Anatolia is one of the most important tectonic elements of Turkey, and constitutes the eastern margin of Aegean Extensional Province. The area is one of the most seismically active continental margins around the globe experiencing N-S extension. Earthquake data in this study is used to analyze the active stress patterns and to estimate the earthquake return periods for different sub-regions in western Anatolia. Focal mechanism solution data is used for determining the orientations and ratios of prin...
Menderes Massif (Western Turkey): structural, metamorphic and magmatic evolution - a synthesis Bozkurt, Erdin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2001-04-01) The Menderes Massif covers large areas in western Turkey. The better understanding of its tectono-metamorphic history would provide insight for the Alpine evolution of western Turkey and the entire eastern Mediterranean region. This paper summarizes the available literature on the metamorphic rocks of western Turkey and that of the Menderes Massif with special reference and emphasis to the papers presented in the special issue.
Flood forecasting and analysis within the Ulus Basin, Turkey, using geographic information systems Usul, Nurunnisa; Turan, Burak (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-10-01) Floods have been the most severe natural disasters in the West Black Sea Region of Turkey for many years; therefore Ulus Basin is selected as a study area for a thorough hydrologic flood analysis. The lack of embankments around the Ulus River and careless changes to the riverbed made by villagers, resulted in major flood events in the basin, causing significant damage in the area. In this study, the hydrodynamic characteristics of the basin and the riverbed are determined by calibrating the hydraulic module...
GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTER OF THE HYDROTHERMAL ALTERATION ZONES AROUND THE MADENKOY-SIIRT MASSIVE SULFIDE DEPOSIT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR GEOCHEMICAL-EXPLORATION ERLER, A (Elsevier BV, 1989-04-01) The Madenkoy-Siir region lies in southeastern Anatolia, Turkey to the northeast of Siirt. The study area is in the southeastern Anatolian Thrust Belt, which forms the boundary between the Border Folds on the northern edge of the Arabian plate and the Taurids. In the region, limestones of the Midyat Group of Eocene-Miocene age and alternating marls and sandstones of the Lice Formation of Early-Middle Miocene age are the autochthonous units. Three thrust slices were emplaced over the autochthonous units durin...
Drivers of Spider (Arachnida:Araneae) Biodiversity in an ‘Olive Grove Ecosystem’ in North-Western Anatolia (Çanakkale and Balıkesir, Turkey) Elverici, Mert; Karaçetin, Evrim; Bilgin, Cemal Can; Balkız, Özge; Demirbaş Çağlayan, Semiha; Vural, Mecit (null; 2018-07-20) Olive plantations cover vast areas on the Aegean coast of Turkey, and the southern foothills of Kaz Mountains is no exception. Olive trees dominate the terrestrial vegetation to such an extent that they form anovel ‘ecosystem’. The olive grove ecosystem is shaped by agricultural management, while impacts on biodiversity are largely unknown. We sampled spider communities living on soil surface and vegetation (understory herbaceous & tree canopy) microhabitats, alongside with various environmental variables ...
