Abstract: | Environmental pollution and degradation of ecosystems considerably affect the natural resources. The Turkish Government is
aware of the importance of the preservation of natural ecology and thereby the environmental conservation of many species
in their natural habitat. This paper provides critical assessments of the problems and possible solutions in the identification,
implementation and management of the Specially Protected Areas (SPAs) system by giving basic information about stakeholders
and their responsibilities that currently offer nature conservation in Turkey. The goals of the article are to analyze how
the SPAs interface with the local people, especially the villagers who have dwelt there before SPA designation and how people-SPA
conflicts resolved; to show how effective the SPA conservation objectives have been; to outline the significance of informing
and empowering people in nature conservation for the protected area management and to show the importance of planning at all
levels during protection of the natural, archeological and cultural values of the SPAs. |
