Structural plan for Samandag coastal region – Yonca Ray

Abstract:

In this case study we improved the structural plan of the region and proposed future ideas. We tried to manage the land use in terms of existing potential (tourism, ecological conditions, etc). In each stage of planning the protection of natural sites has been taken into count.Samandağ is a coastal region in the southern part of Turkey. The valley of civilizations shows us already from Prehistory that the city was the main channel between continents. That mobility brought a lot of variance in terms of geology, culture, etc. Besides all the factors above, late history played a big role in each change in the region.The main idea of this study is to increase touristic attraction by rehabilitation of the connection between the beach and the surrounding (villages, towns , cities and overseas) and to improve the structural plan of the coastal zone study site. For this study case the literature review has been performed and a few study cases have been reviewed. As a metadology swot analysis of the site played a big role in terms of creation of the land use analysis map and the structural planning map.The conclusion of this study represents how big touristic potential can be shown in a better way by improved connection between localities and rehabilitation of the structural plan of the site. The improvement of the coastal zone structure is merged with improved connection projects to support the rising touristic potential needs. …víceméně
