One of the projects is the greenway, which are linear web of paths planned, designed and managed in a sustainable way for ecological, recreational, cultural, and esthetic usage of the area.

As a result, the plan squares having high suitability for the functions were dense in the determined study as old highway and neighborhood. In the whole area (4385,25 hectares); it is found that 598,00 ha of the area is ranked as “good”; 770,27 ha of the area as “medium”, 3016,98 ha of the area as poor suitability value. Seasonal assessments for recreation and scenery functions of A, B and C parts of the area indicate that the area has opportunities for all seasons.
