Assessment of Regulations in Coastal Areas Based on Coastal Area Design Parameters: The Case of Gallipoli-Turkey

Abstract

The distinctive shaping and dynamic structures of coastal areas bring coastal cities to the forefront. These distinctive forms also enable coastal areas to harbor different potentials. These areas, which are an integral part of the city with their potential, are also public spaces that make a contribution to the comfort of life in the city. Coastal areas are breathing points not only for urban dwellers but also for visitors to the city. For this reason, these living spaces used for recreation should be organized in accordance with the design parameters of coastal areas. Thus, the distinctive potential resources of the area can be preserved and the environmental impact values will be enhanced. Gallipoli, as the sample area of the study, is a coastal settlement with historical and natural richness and has a coast to both the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara. The aim of the study is to evaluate the existing arrangements in the coastal areas of the city depending on the parameters of coastal area design and to develop solutions for the ecological sustainability of the area. In line with this purpose, observations and determinations were made in both coastal areas of the city with the on-site survey method. The existing arrangements in the areas were assessed depending on the design parameters of the coastal areas. Solution proposals were suggested for the problems identified in the evaluation. Thus, the sustainability of coastal areas will be achieved and ecological sustainability will be promoted with this effect.
