Development Concepts of Coastal Parks: A Comparative Analysis of Kusadasi and Sumgayit

Öz

This study investigates the ecological, spatial, and socio-cultural roles of coastal parks within the urban environments of Kusadasi (Türkiye) and Sumgayit (Azerbaijan), focusing on the comparative analysis of their functional zoning and developmental potential. As coastal cities continue to experience urban expansion and increasing tourism pressure, sustainable strategies for planning, maintaining, and enhancing recreational areas become crucial for ensuring environmental resilience and improving residents’ quality of life. Drawing on landscape-ecological, architectural, and socio-functional perspectives, this research identifies key similarities and differences in the spatial organization, accessibility, and integration of coastal park systems in both cities. Empirical observations and field analyses reveal that Kusadasi’s coastal zone is characterized by its historical heritage and tourism-oriented design, whereas Sumgayit’s boulevard system features a modern, functional layout emphasizing community recreation and urban connectivity. The study highlights the role of coastal parks as regulators of local microclimates, social interaction hubs, and catalysts for sustainable tourism. Based on the comparative assessment, a development concept is proposed that combines Kusadasi’s heritage-sensitive design principles with Sumgayit’s integrated ecological planning approach. The findings underscore the necessity of participatory and inclusive design, improved accessibility, and functional diversity to enhance the adaptive capacity of coastal cities facing climate, demographic, and infrastructural challenges. Ultimately, the research contributes to the discourse on sustainable coastal urbanism by offering a model for harmonizing cultural identity, environmental stewardship, and recreational functionality in coastal park development.
