Özet:

 

The idea underlying the understanding of sustainability
is that mankind should live in such a way that will not exceed the carrying
capacity of the environment in order to support it. That is, the sustainable
management of natural resources is the way to attain sustainable development.
On the other hand, ecological sustainability can be achieved only through
conservation-based scientific approaches. If the problems to be caused by the
uncontrolled use of resources are predicted in advance and if planning is made
to this end, the sustainable use of protected areas will be possible. The
concept of "carrying capacity" and the planning studies carried out
within the framework of this concept are also essential to hand protected areas
down to the future.Within the framework of this study, it was intended to
determine the carrying capacity of Bayramiç Ayazmapınarı Natural Park, which
was taken under conservation with the "Natural Park" status in 2011
and which plays an important role in the economic development of the locality.
"The Method of Estimating the Carrying Capacity in Protected Areas",
recommended by the IUCN, was employed in the research, which was carried out to
ensure the sustainable use of the study area with important natural and
cultural landscape assets. As a result of the method, it was established that
Bayramiç Ayazmapınarı Natural Park had some intensity of use above its carrying
capacity. It was concluded that the intensive tourism activities creating a
rather negative situation in terms of the sustainability of resources should be
re-planned on the basis of conservation & use. Proposals of conservation
policies were made in order to hand the existing natural and cultural landscape
assets down to future generations. Furthermore, the incomplete or wrong uses in
the area were highlighted and various suggestions were made to this end in the
research.    .
