GIS POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL ZONE LAND USE ASSESSMENT IN IZMIR BAY AND GULLUK BAY (TURKEY)
Abstract
Two of the largest bays on the west coast of Turkey, Izmir Bay and Gulluk Bay, are the focus for ongoing research involving the Ins titute of Marine Sciences and Technology of Dokuz Eylul University. Especially, in Izmi r, due to intense residential, commercial, and industrial use of the coastal areas, and there being numerous recreational, historic, natural and archaeological areas, the co astal water quality ha s become the most important asset in its coastal land use plan ning. Fishing and fish farming, maritime transport including shipping a nd port, defense (military zones), waste disposal are the other types of diverse coastal use. Although the major bays in the country have different features and water exchange rates depending on their water body area and geomorphology, there are growing concerns about the issues of contention for the use of shared, but limited, coastline and water body sp ace. According to the general rules of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), before enacting and executing any endorsement, all required monitoring and anal ysis procedures must be implemented to identify and resolve potential c onflicts of interest. This stud y presents the initial design and continuing GIS development efforts at the Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey. The study aimed to collect and integrate the relevant data regarding coasta l zone land use, in order to underline the basic layout of Izmir Bay and Gulluk Bay, a nd to quantify parameters which will then be linked to the indicators related to the environmental concerns and management goals.
