“…Although the Ceyhan delta shows a net loss of area, much of this loss is attributed to significant retreat of its twin Seyhan lobe following dam construction (Alphan, 2005). The first major dam on the Seyhan was constructed only in 1984 (Ataol, 2015), and since then, nine other dams have been constructed between 1989 and 2013. The less-dammed Ceyhan has shown net delta area gain following deforestation (Kuleli, 2010).…”

The Mediterranean basin (including the Black Sea) is characterized by a plethora of deltas that have developed in a wave-influenced setting. Many of these deltas are sourced in sediments by river catchments that have been variably dammed. The vulnerability status of a selection of ten deltas subject to different levels of reduction in fluvial sediment supply following damming was analysed by quantifying changes in delta protrusion area and protrusion angle over the last 30 years. The rationale for choosing these two metrics, which do not require tricky calculations of longshore bedload transport volumes and river ‘influence’, is that as sediment supply wanes, increasing relative efficiency of waves leads to longshore redistribution of reworked sediments and progressive ‘flattening’ of the delta protrusion. The results show that eight of the ten deltas (Nile, Rhône, Ebro, Ceyhan, Arno, Ombrone, Moulouya, Medjerda) are in erosion, whereas two (Danube, Po) show stability, but the statistical relationship between change in delta protrusion area and sediment flux reduction is poor, thus suggesting that the role of dams in causing delta shoreline erosion may have been over-estimated. But this poor relationship could also be due to a long temporal lag between dam construction and bedload removal and transport to the coast downstream of dams, and, where the delta protrusion is being eroded, to bedload trapping by shoreline engineering structures and by elongating delta-flank spits. Other potential influential factors in shoreline change include subsidence, sea-level rise, storminess, exceptional river floods, and managed sediment releases downstream of dams. A longer observation period and high-resolution sediment-budget studies will be necessary to determine more definitively to which extent continued trapping of sediment behind dams will impact overall delta stability in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Mitigation of delta erosion is likely to become costlier under continued sediment starvation and sea-level rise.

“…Adana İli sınırları içinde kalan Çukurova deltası 214 km 2 lik alanı ile Türkiye'nin en büyük deltasıdır (Ataol, 2015). Genel olarak düz ve düze yakın olan delta ovaları, yerleşim alanı kurulması gibi beşeri kullanımlara ek olarak, akarsuların taşıdıkları materyal ile oluştuklarından, aynı zamanda verimli tarım toprağına sahiptirler.…”

Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de faaliyette olan havalimanlarının kurulduğu yerler ve bu yerlerin arazi kullanımı açısından niteliği incelenmiştir. Araştırmada Orman ve Su İşleri Bakanlığı'nın CORINE Arazi Örtüsü Projesi ile oluşturduğu 1990 ve 2012 yılı verileri, Google Earthpro 4 Landsat görüntüleri, Devlet Hava Meydanları İşletmeleri Genel Müdürlüğü (DHMİ)'nden alınan havalimanlarına ait veriler, TÜİK verileri ve ArcGIS Desktop10'da üretilen haritalar temel kaynaklardır. Yapılan incelemede Türkiye'de bulunan 55 havalimanının, % 60'ı yani 32 tanesi doğrudan tarım alanları üzerine kurulmuştur. Tarım alanı üzerine kurulan havalimanlarının çevrelerinde bulunan araziler, tarım dışı amaçlarla kullanılma tehdidi altına girer. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye'de tarım alanında kurulmuş olan 3 havalimanı ve çevresinin, 1984-2018 arası 10'ar yıllık periyotlarda uydu görüntüleri incelenmiş ve haritalanmıştır. Geçen zaman içinde yerleşmelerin havalimanına doğru gelerek onu çevrelediği görülmüştür. Bu hem tarım alanlarının ortadan kalkması hem de İstanbul Atatürk Havalimanı'nda olduğu gibi büyümek ve kapasite artırmak isteyen bir havalimanının, yerleşme alanına sıkışması bağlamında olumsuz bir durumdur. Sonuç olarak, ekonomik değeri büyük olan havalimanı yatırımlarının, tarım alanlarının korunması ve havalimanlarının genişleyip büyümesi bağlamında sürdürülebilir şekilde planlanması gereklidir.

The objective of this study was to assess the tourism potential of the Lagoons of Çukurova Delta and their surroundings, and identify the different types of alternative tourism activities that could be possible in the region. To this end, the relevant literature was reviewed and observations were conducted in the region. In addition, SWOT analysis was used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the region, in terms of alternative tourism, as well as opportunities and threats. According to the results, (1) botanical tourism, (2) birdwatching, (3) photo safaris, (4) wildlife observation, (5) trekking, (6) landscape viewing and (7) camping were identified as the major types of alternative tourism activities feasible in the region.
