The determination of protected area (PA) boundaries and the level of restrictions is very important for sustainable conservation, and such decisions must involve biodiversity data and assessment. In a PA, the consensus of the government and the locals is crucial to ensure protection–use balance. The PA restrictions constrain legal human activities, and the boundary determination and the restrictions should be based on various scientific analyses to achieve consensus. In this study, a GIS-based approach is proposed to utilize the biodiversity data for efficient conservation and land use planning in Kas-Kekova PA, which is among the most important PAs in Turkey. Spatial analysis methods, i.e., kernel density estimation, natural breaks classification and integrated density index, were performed for the assessment of the habitat networks using georeferenced biodiversity datasets, and the results were evaluated with respect to the actual land use data and the land ownership pattern. The developed spatial analysis approach is efficient to produce the conservation base maps required for regional land use planning, for defining sustainable conservation strategies, and to provide a widely accepted base for land use planning and biodiversity monitoring in the PA; although careful investigations and expert opinions are still required for data deficient areas.

Ülkemizde arsa düzenlemesi çalışmaları, düzenlemeye alınan her parselden yüzölçümü oranında kesinti esasına dayanmaktadır. Ancak, yapılan pek çok çalışma bu uygulama şeklinin doğruluğunu ve güvenilirliğini test etmektedir. Özellikle 3194 sayılı İmar Kanununun 18. maddesi uygulamalarında kadastro parselleri ile bu parsellere tahsis edilen imar parsellerinin değer ilişkisinin tutarsızlık göstermesi haksız kazanç ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu nedenle yapılan çalışmada, arsa düzenlemeleri kapsamında düzenleme öncesi kadastro parsellerine farklı dağıtım metotları ile tahsis edilen imar parsellerinin alan-değer ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, ilgili kamu kurumlarından ve özel ofislerden grafik ve vektör veri temini sağlanmış ve analiz edilmiştir. Uygulamada, taşınmaz değerlerinin belirlenmesinde değer ile doğrudan ilişkili faktörler ve rayiç değerler kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bu değerler ile imar uygulaması yapılmış ve dağıtım aşamasında incelenmiştir. Önerilen uygulama şeklinin geçerliliğinin kanıtlanması için mevcut uygulanan metot ile karşılaştırmalar yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler ve yorumlamalar sonucunda yürürlükteki imar uygulamasının adalet ve eşitlik olgularından uzak olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Taşınmazların parsel bazında birim değerlerinin belirlenmesi ve bu doğrultuda arazi ve arsa düzenlemesi (AAD) uygulamalarının yapılması, sorunların büyük oranda ortadan kalkmasına yardımcı olacaktır.

In the areas declared to be a tourism center, a rapid tourism-related development occurs depending on the investments in tourism, which causes a dramatic land use and land cover changes. Determining, monitoring, and modeling of land use and land cover changes are required in order to ensure the conservation-use balance and sustainability within such vulnerable areas that are under the development pressure. This study consists of four steps. In the rst step, the Landsat images dated 1985, 2000, and 2021 were classi ed using the maximum likelihood method and the land use and land cover of Belek Tourism Center located in Turkey were determined. The second step included the identi cation of areal and spatial changes between the land use and land cover classes for the periods between 1985 and 2000, 2000 and 2021, and 1985 and 2021. In the third step, the land use and land cover changes in Belek Tourism Center for 2040 were modeled using the Land Change Modeler. Last step evaluated the relationship between the modeled spatial development pattern and the current planning decisions. According to the results obtained through a 36-year research, the rates of settlement, forest, and water body areas have increased by 11.91%, 13.67%, and 0.82%, respectively whereas the rates of barren land and agricultural areas have reduced by 22.25% and 4.15%, respectively. The land use map modeled for 2040 predicts the settlement areas to expand by 5.46% and the agricultural areas to shrink by 4.21% by comparison with 2021.

Conflicting expectations of stakeholders in urban renewal applications may lead to spatial and functionally unsustainable applications. Therefore, urban renewal applications require collaborative planning with their multi-stakeholder and multidimensional structure (political, social, and economic). This study aims to create a collaborative land-use planning (CLUP) approach that minimizes the factors arising from the expectations of the stakeholders and that has an adverse effect on the success of the project. The study consists of two stages. In the first stage, the literature is reviewed to create a framework for the CLUP approach. Within this framework, spatial and functional goals are identified for an urban renewal site within the borders of Meram Municipality in the Konya province of Turkey. In the second stage, a survey is conducted with the participation of stakeholders to identify their spatial and functional demands (vision, land-use and building design). Finally, the fitting between the spatial and functional demands of the stakeholders and the spatial and functional goals identified within the framework of the CLUP approach is discussed. As a result of the survey, it was determined that the expectations of the stakeholders regarding the vision, land-use and building design participate and governance processes are incompatible with each other. The expectations of the stakeholders were evaluated within the framework of the CLUP approach, and recommendations were made for a sustainable vision and a pluralistic decision-making, while raising awareness for participation.
