Abstract

Human that intended development and improvement throughout the history, has always improved and changed either himself or environment for more safer and cosy living as a consequence of increasing requirements and technological development. Besides having positive effects, technological development has brought problems as environmental pollution and depletion of raw materials.

 

It is noticed that renewal and replacement of resources are due to a process along with understanding the consumption of resources by improper usage and universality of environmental pollution problems. This shows that today's problems will be active in the next generations. In this context, the concept of sustainability can be defined as to provide continuity of efficiency in the optimal conditions for many years.

 

By ensuring sustainability, not only existing environmental problems will be solved but also the life quality of the current population will be increased and livable places will be arised that the future generations may continue living safely. Within the scope of this study; in order to establish the human-environment-economy triangle in the most healthy way, a planning proposal in accordance with the principle of sustainability is intended to be brought to Cilingoz Bay, which is that located in the Istanbul’s Black Sea coast with a remarkable natural and cultural richness.

 

Within the context of this study;

  • Inventories of Cilingoz Bay’s natural and cultural resources are covered.
  • A conservation-usage model is stated to establish ecological-economic balance in a healthy way.
  • Alternative land uses are designated by providing the continuity of natural ecosystems and preservation of biodiversity.
  • All phases of landscape planning process are elaborated in the study area by a detailed analysis of it’s natural and cultural features.

 

As a result, a planning model is put forward not only for Cilingoz Bay, but also for the potential recreation areas in the vicinity of urban areas.
