The Project That Will Affect Amasra's Future Ekorota Bartin

The goal of the project

In the modern world, changes are experienced at different scales and forms in cities and rural areas. With this change, rural living areas face various problems. At the beginning of these problems are the decrease in the quality of life and the loss of rural character. Today, the importance of character and brand in sectoral marketing is becoming increasingly important, and strategies and action plans for improving the quality of life are developed over the concepts of character and brand. For this reason, the concept of character is among the important concepts of development today. Identifying character/identity and branding through identity is an important phenomenon that accelerates sectoral development.

This study, which emphasizes character/identity, Bartın İli’nde yapılmasına gerek duyulmasının en önemli nedeni 2014-2015 yılları arasında BAKKA tarafından desteklenen TR81/14/SOSYAL/0051 numaralı projenin çıktılarıdır. Sadece Küre Dağları Milli Parkı’nın Bartın Bölümü Tampon Bölgesi’ nde yürütülen projenin alan analizlerinde Bartın’ daki kırsal alanlarda peyzaj karakterinin çeşitliliği gözlemlenmiştir. Nüfusunun %60,36′ sı kırsal alanlarda yasayan Bartın İli’nde var olan kırsal peyzaj çeşitliliğinin Bartın ile ilgili stratejilerde vurgulanan ekoturizm sektörüne önemli bir altlık oluşturacağı öngörülmektedir. 

The general objectives determined in line with this foresight are as follows:

1. Identifying rural identity/character,
2. mapping rural landscape character,
3. The rural landscape character of the transformation in rural areas

reduce its negative impact on

1. Creating ecotourism networks/routes (such as culture routes, wildlife routes, blue routes and green routes) between characters,
2. “Nature” determined in the Bartın Nature Tourism Master Plan

developing and mapping “tourism values”.

Expected results: Ecotourism emerges as a tool that integrates conservation and development opportunities and increases the quality of life as a result of this integration. To put it more clearly, it is thought that the financial resource to be obtained from the ecotourist will benefit both the area and the people living around the area. Evaluation of rural landscape character within the scope of ecotourism is an effective tool for the integration of conservation and development. Ecotourism networks to be created between the characters (cultural routes, wildlife routes, blue routes and green routes etc.) will make important contributions to the development of this integration in various titles:

1. Within the scope of the project, volunteer activities will be carried out, whose participants are young people. These activities will ensure local ownership.
2. It will provide sectoral development opportunities in the long run.
3. It will form a basis for the development of the local economy on the basis of ecotourism.
