Coastal areas, because of its unique natural resources, in
every period of history of civilization have created a focal
point, in terms of placement and use of a social order has
become important. Both in the world and in Turkey, coastal
areas, where the settlement and social and economic
activities have become intense, are facing some problems. In
Turkey, varieties of the climate, topography and the
characteristics of habitation in the coastal areas are
showed. There are subsisting several problems in the
applications related to coastal planning. First of all,
there have been striking differences in the socio-cultural
life on different coastal regions. Secondly, the distance
between coast line and shore buffer zone is fixed and the
same for different regions of the country. Thirdly,
residential and architectural typology appropriated for the
physical conditions of the country's coastal regions is not
in place yet. Finally, there are ambiguities in the coastal
areas. In this study, a pilot area is located in east coast
of Trabzon have been chosen for experimental work. Addition
to this, the relationships between landownership and shore
border line are examined by using geographical
information
systems (GIS).
Cadastre maps and town maps have been digitased and
transferred in to arc/info environment in order to make
topology. Then attribute database pertaining to the parcels
have been established to make analysis and queries regarding
the relationship between shore border line and
landownership. As the result of this study, it has been
found that, the coast have not been used for public benefit,
which are due to violates of constitutional law. The
violations on coastal areas are due to both citizens and
public organizations.
Key words:
Land ownership, shore border line, geographical information
systems. |
