Twenty-six parameters have been selected that delineate coastal scenery. These were obtained via consultation between coastal users and experts in the field. The parameters were assessed as to their priorities and weightings given. Application of fuzzy logic techniques enabled a decision parameter (D) to be calculated for any coastal scene. Over 100 worldwide coastal sites were analysed via the technique and a five-class differentiation obtained from D values.

Coastal scenic evaluation by application of fuzzy logic mathematics Uçar, Barış; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) Coastal scenery evaluated by utilization of selected landscape components was subject to fuzzy logic system approach. Based on this methodology, coastal areas were grouped into five classes using the evaluation index D giving the overall result of scenic assessment over the attributes. Within the methodology, public perception surveys from Turkey, UK, Malta, and Croatia were used as a tool for environmental perception in the methodology. The results of the public perception surveys were utilized to obtain t...
Coastal scenic evaluation: A study of some dalmatian (Croatia) areas Ergin, Ayşen; Micallef, A.; Radic, M.; Williams, A. T. (2006-12-01) Many scenic assessments have been carried out on a subjective base. A novel technique addressed scenic evaluation, through application of fuzzy logic methodologies to values obtained from a checklist that itemized 26 physical and human parameters. These parameters, obtained by consultation with coastal experts and users, were rated on a five-point attribute scale, covering presence/absence or poor quality (1), to excellent/outstanding (5). These attributes, subjected to fuzzy logic analyses producing matric...
Assessing and managing scenery of the Caribbean Coast of Colombia Rangel-Buitrago, N.; Correa, I. D.; Anfuso, G.; Ergin, Ayşen; Williams, A. T. (2013-04-01) This study provides the coastal scenery assessment of 135 sites along the Colombian Caribbean littoral by analysing 26 physical and human factors. Sites were categorised into five classes from Class 1, top grade scenery, to Class 5, poor scenery. Fifty five percent of the investigated coastal areas were included in Classes 1 and 2, 18% belonged to Class 3 and 47% of the sites fall into Classes 4 and 5. Classification of analysed sites depends on the geological setting and the degree of human occupation. Cla...
Coastal scenic assesment using fuzzy logic approach Karakaya, Selami Tansel; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) This thesis analyzes the coastal landscape evaluation that is strongly rooted in the man-environment tradition. Scenery is a natural resource and managers need to attempt the evaluation of scenic resources in an objective and quantitative way that can be utilized mainly in landscape preservation and protection. The thesis will try to find an objective way in evaluation of the coastal scenery by using fuzzy logic mathematics and public perception studies. Using mathematical model developed within the frame w...
Integrated management policies for coastal archaeological environments of Turkey: Erdemli-Silifke coastal region, Mersin Naycı, Nida; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Department of Architecture (2010) Being important natural areas due to togetherness of terrestrial and water ecosystems; coastal araes (sea, lake and river coasts) possesses important historic and cultural environments shıowing relationship of mankind with water developed during different periods since ancient periods onwards. In this sense; having housed various civilizations since anquity onwards, Turkey has diverse and rich coastal archaeological sites. However, in addition to natural processes occuring in short and long terms due to the...
