A Research on The Determination of Landscape Potential Aimed at Tourism and Recreational Usage of The Province of Beyşehir and Its Environs
Abstract
Beysehir is one of the oldest settlements of Turkey. The surrounding historical remains and monuments justify this. The
history of Beysehir, which extends to prehistoric times, has begun 8-10 thousand years ago. It has works of art from Hittites,
Romans and Hellenistic ages. Yet Beysehir reached its prime when Anatolian Seljuk’s have given importance to Beysehir,
which have never been given before, built the summer capital of Anatolian Seljuk state named Kubadabad. Because of these,
surroundings of Beysehir resemble an open air museum with its historical and natural beauties.
With its surface area of 651 km2, forming 1/4 of the general area of Beysehir Country, the lake Beysehir is the third in
largeness among the lakes in Turkey. The altitude of the Lake's Surface is 1116 above the sea-level. Its width varies between
10 and 25 km. Where as is length from the Northwest to the Southeast is 42 km.. Beysehir Lake is a natural Lake with its
fresh-water. It extends underground to Mediterranean through Manavgat River.
The increasing touristic demand together with the commercial developments supported by the improving tourism sector,
the rapid increase in population and the unplanned urbanization have gradually been causing more harm to natural and
cultural resources of the country. The numbers of national and international congresses have been held in order to hinder
this situation, and decisions have mutually been taken on preserving the environment not having to a degree of harmless that
can not be restored. Furthermore, the use of lands should be limited in a convenient way. Thus, it will be possible to preserve
the flora and fauna, which possess a special, endemic and rare habitat. The prevention and preservation of the historical and
cultural heritage will be transferred to the future generations, as well.
Besides the touristic potential of the region, its natural specialties of landscape, and being a good source for scientific
researches have had to be determined the criteria of its usage by taking especially these matters into consideration. In this
study natural and cultural attributes of Province of Beysehir is analyzed and determined by means of GIS applications.
