Abstract

The protection of nature and the environment, the preservation of the diversity of ecosystems without jeopardizing their integrity, and their sustainable development are important for sustainability. The Acarlar Floodplain is an extraordinary tourism and recreation area in terms of its ecological and landscape features. In the Acarlar Floodplain, which has recently become an important tourist destination, it is important to determine the attractions for daily recreation without neglecting the conservation value. The aim of this study is to identify suitable areas for hiking and birdwatching in the region using the weighted overlay method. The results show that most of the region is restricted areas for targeted activities, especially birdwatching, due to the different conservation status of Acar Longoz. The 1st degree suitable areas for hiking activities cover 226 ha and 4169 ha fall under the 2nd degree suitable category. The 1st degree suitable areas for birdwatching cover 16 ha, while the 2nd degree suitable areas cover 487 ha. The results provide essential inputs and an exemplary scientific methodology for the development of the current ecotourism project and wetland management plans.

Acarlar Longozu’nda Rekreasyonel Alanların Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Doğa ve çevrenin korunması, ekosistemlerin bütünlüğü bozulmadan çeşitliliğin korunması ve sürdürülebilir gelişimin sağlanması açısından önemlidir. 1. Derece Doğal Sit Alanı statüsünde olan Acarlar Longozu, aynı zamanda Yaban Hayatı Geliştirme Sahası’dır ve Ramsar Sözleşmesi’ne göre Ulusal Öneme Sahip Sulak Alanlar Listesi’nde yer almaktadır. Acar Longozu ekolojik ve peyzaj özellikleri bakımından eşsiz bir turizm ve dinlenme alanıdır. Son zamanlarda önemli bir destinasyon haline gelen Acarlar Longozu’nda koruma öncelikleri dikkate alınarak günübirlik rekreasyonel kullanımlar açısından cazibe oluşturan mekanların belirlenmesi önemli bir ihtiyaç haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı çok katmanlı ağırlıklı çakıştırma yöntemi kullanarak bölgede yürüyüş ve kuş gözlem faaliyetleri için uygun alanların belirlenmesidir. Sonuçlar, Acarlar'ın farklı koruma statülerine sahip olması nedeniyle bölgenin büyük bir kısmının hedef faaliyetler, özellikle de kuş gözlemciliği, açısından kısıtlı alanlar olduğunu göstermektedir. Yürüyüş faaliyetleri için 1.derece uygun alanlar 226 ha olup, 4169 ha 2.derece uygun alanlar kategorisine girmektedir. Kuş gözlemciliği için 1. derece uygun alanlar 16 ha, 2. derece uygun alanlar ise 487 ha alan kaplamaktadır. Sonuçlar, mevcut ekoturizm projesinin ve sulak alan yönetim planlarının geliştirilmesi için gerekli girdileri ve örnek teşkil edecek bir bilimsel metodolojiyi sağlamaktadır.
