Due to the influence of both Turkey’s EU Affiliation process and varying and developing dynamics, such planning types have been increasing and diversifying in time. Also, River and Basin Management Plans are new planning types to be included in Turkish planning legislation within the context of EU Affiliation process. In such a transition period, it is necessary to define and draw out also the renewed plans into actual planning hierarchy correctly, with respect to essential principles of planning approach.
