Summary:

      Watershed-based areas should be taken into account for planing toward sustainable land management and their practices. If watershed-based data are regarded for land use decisions, holistic and practical decisions can be developed. All layers can be produced at regional scale, such as protected areas, pasture and plateau areas, water resource, landslide susceptible areas, flood areas, settled areas, agricultural area sand other areas which may be opened to settlement should be generated in the same system. With these data, important bases can be presented to the decision-makers. Thanks to all these data, accurate and reliable data which must be produced certain precision and standards for all planning, such as land consolidation planing, master plans, implementation master plans, rural development plans will be able to be provided to the appliers. All the same, watershed-based planning and their practices toward trouble-free and practical sustainable land management decisions as far as based on accurate and reliable data will be able to made.

In this thesis, databases were generated toward preparation of river basin management plans of the Turkey in framework of the EU with spatial location analyses related to working area after establishing of GIS. Later, accurate and current data about watershed management were generated with GIS technology in the ITRF system. As a result, large-scale inconsistencies based on qualitative, areal and linear toward existing plans were put forward.
