A PUBLIC ANALYSIS OF COASTAL EMBANKMENT AREAS: THE CASE OF TRABZON PROVINCE, ORTAHISAR DISTRICT, AKYAZI

Abstract

In this article, projects in various countries related to the construction and utilization of coastal embankments are analyzed. The economic, social and environmental impacts of reclamation areas are discussed. The article emphasizes that the ownership status of the facilities and buildings constructed in these areas varies from country to country. In particular, the balance between public interest coastal filling projects and privately owned residential areas is discussed. The effects of the methods and materials used in different countries on the marine ecosystem were evaluated. The study also examined the details of a filling project realized in Trabzon province. The research emphasized the importance of issues such as planning of filling areas, material selection, assessment of environmental impacts and communication between stakeholders involved in the project. As a result, it is suggested that the success of filling projects planned and implemented in the public interest and environmental sustainability can be ensured by choosing the right methods, following an interactive process and conducting regular inspections.
