Özet:

 With its abundant natural beauty and pristine ecosystems, Bingöl is one of Turkeys best-kept natural secrets. One of the most remarkable elements of these beauties is the natural lakes in the region. However, for many years, both security and carelessness have prevented these lakes tourism potential from being realised. Ecotourism, which aims to sustainably protect natural and cultural resources, offers an important opportunity for the development of tourism in these regions. This study examined the ecotourism potential of four natural lakes in the province of Bingöl with the goal of promoting tourism in these areas. Within the scope of the research, firstly, a survey was conducted with 192 people to determine the perspectives of Bingöl people on ecotourism and the potential in the province where they live. SWOT studies were conducted for four designated natural lakes Balpınar Lake, Gerindal Lake, Natural Thermal Water Situated in Ilıcalar, Sarıçiçek Lake in collaboration with professionals, including academics and students from the landscape architecture department. Based on the collected data, the research concluded with the creation of landscape designs for the chosen lakes. The primary objective of this project is to serve as a model for ecotourism design of concealed natural attractions.

 Bingöl, zengin doğal güzellikleri ve bozulmamış ekosistemleriyle Türkiyenin gizli kalmış doğa hazinelerinden biridir. Bu güzelliklerin en dikkat çekici unsurlarından biri de bölgedeki doğal göllerdir. Ancak, bu göllerin turizm potansiyeli uzun yıllar boyunca gerek güvenlik, gerekse ihmalkarlık nedeniyle göz ardı edilmiştir. Doğal ve kültürel kaynakların sürdürülebilir şekilde korunmasını amaçlayan ekoturizm, bu bölgelerdeki turizmin gelişmesi için önemli bir fırsat sunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Bingöl ilindeki dört doğal göl, ekoturizm potansiyeli açısından incelenmiş ve bu bölgelerin turizme kazandırılması hedeflenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında ilk olarak Bingöl halkının ekoturizme ve yaşadıkları ildeki potansiyele bakış açılarını belirlemek için 192 kişi ile anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Seçilen dört doğal göl için Balpınar Gölü, Gerindal Gölü, Ilıcalar Beldesi Doğal Termal Su Yatağı, Sarıçiçek Gölü uzman kişiler ile öğretim elemanları ve peyzaj mimarlığı bölümü öğrencileri SWOT analizleri yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda son olarak seçilen göllerin peyzaj tasarımları yapılarak araştırma sonuçlandırılmıştır. Yapılan bu çalışmanın saklı kalmış doğal güzelliklerin ekoturizm planlamasında örnek olması araştırmanın temel amacıdır.
