Özet:

 The study area, Upper Karasu Basin, is located in the east of Turkey and bordering Iran and is located within the Van Lake Basin. It is known that the increasing population and needs in the world create pressure on natural environment resources and cause irreversible environmental problems. Similarly, the increasing population in the study area, the uncontrolled and unconscious use of natural resources and the wrong choices made in utilizing the land cause natural environment destruction and problems. In addition, it has been observed that the drought conditions, which have manifested themselves in the region in recent years, have caused changes in the ecological environment. Although it is thought that the local people turn these changes into opportunities for example, the opening of dried wetlands to agriculture, it has been understood that this is actually a threat in some places. In this direction, SWOT Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats analysis of the Upper Karasu Basin was presented. For this, field studies and photographs, statistical data, various maps 125,000-100,000 scaled geology, topography, land use, Remote Sensing UA and Geographic Information Systems GIS techniques and literature studies were used. As a result of the synthesis of these data, SWOT analysis has been proposed for a sustainable watershed model. With this analysis, the strengths of the Upper Karasu Basin are that the upper reaches of the Karasu and Yücelen Rivers are rich in pasture potential, the weaknesses are the unconsciouswrong use of the land, the opportunity in the basin, and the fact that it is in an important area in terms of logistics support in transportation close to the Iranian border. It has been understood that the migration of the rural population and the risk of natural disasters are a threat.

 Çalışmaya konu olan Yukarı Karasu Havzası, Türkiyenin doğusunda ve İran sınırına sıfır bir konumda olup Van Gölü Havzası içinde yer almaktadır. Dünyada her geçen gün artan nüfus ve ihtiyaçlar doğal ortam kaynakları üzerinde baskı oluşturarak dönüşü mümkün olmayan çevre sorunlarına neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Benzer biçimde çalışma alanı da artan nüfus, kontrolsüz ve bilinçsiz doğal kaynak kullanımı ve araziden faydalanmada yapılan yanlış tercihler doğal ortam tahribatına ve sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Keza bölgede son yıllarda kendini iyice gösteren kuraklık koşulları, ekolojik ortamda değişikliklere neden olduğu görülmüştür. Yöre insanının bu değişiklikleri fırsata dönüştürdüğü örneğin kurumuş sulak alanların tarıma açılması gibi zannedilse de aslında bunun kimi yerde tehdit olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bu çalışmada Yukarı Karasu Havzasının SWOT Güçlü yönler, Zayıf yönler, Fırsatlar, Tehditler analizi ortaya konulmuştur. Bunun için arazi çalışmaları ve fotoğraflamaları, istatistiki veriler, çeşitli haritalar 125.000-100.000 ölçekli jeoloji, topoğrafya, arazi kullanımı, Uzaktan Algılama UA ve Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri CBS teknikleri ve literatür çalışmalarından faydalanılmıştır. Bu verilerin sentezi sonucunda sürdürülebilir bir havza modeli için SWOT analizi önerilmiştir. Yapılan bu analizle Yukarı karasu Havzasının güçlü yönlerinin, Karasu ve Yücelen Derelerinin yukarı çığırlarının mera potansiyeli açısından zengin olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Zayıf yönlerinin arazinin bilinçsizceyanlış bir şekilde kullanımı, havzada fırsat olarak, ulaşımda lojistik destek açısından önemli sahada bulunmasının İran sınırına yakın olması ön planda olduğu ve kır nüfusunun göçü ve doğal afet riskinin tehdit unsuru oluşturduğu anlaşılmıştır.
