Summary:

      

In the scope of this study, the natural and cultural values of the area and their potential for recreation and tourism have been primarily investigated. In the region, together with the recreation and tourism areas, the behavior of local people in terms of recreation and that of visitors in terms of tourism activities were examined and the environmental deterioration and pollution caused by these activities were determined. In the light of this preliminary research, interviews were conducted with five different social groups and the results obtained demonstrated the attitude of visitors (tourists) , locals (males and females), public and local administration relating the characteristics of the natural and cultural values in and around the plateau area and what kind of environmental effects are caused by their activities.

       By using this data, SWOT analysis method was used in order to determine the principles of ecologically based recreation and tourism planning. The method identifies strengths and weaknesses of the area along with opportunities and threats and lays out what needs to be done to strengthen by preventing the weaknesses and threats through TOWS matrix.
