Abstract

Aim of study: With the Performance Measurement Evaluation Method, it is aimed to disclose the success of the implementation of the Adana Seyhan Dam Lake Wildlife Reserve Area Management and Development Plan.
Area of study: The study area is located within the boundaries of Çukurova, Karaisalı, Yüreğir, and Sarıçam districts of Adana.
Material and methods: The Plan identified 50 activities under 8 different programs in 2011. The success of the plan’s implementation was measured with observations, question-answer, and mapping methods.
Main results: According to the first, second, and third priorities of the fifty activities listed, the results of the observations and mapping show that their success rates are 37%, 27%, and 33% respectively. Regardless of the priorities of these activities, the findings of the study indicate an 82% success rate in question-answers, while the observations detect a 20% success rate.
Highlights: Considering the priorities of the activities, the study displays an overall 30% success rate in the performance of the plan; i.e., relatively low level. The research concludes that out of eight Wildlife improvement projects, two are inadequate, three are unsuccessful, and three are successful.
