Coastal
urbanization problem was emanated from willingness of coastal living. Urban
sprawl is one of the most important coastal problems in Turkey as it is in
Trabzon city which is known for its natural and historical assets. In order to
ensure the sustainability and ecological continuity of the city, an ecosystem
based coastal planning is an issue of high priority. Protection and usage
balance of the coastal areas could also ensure transition of the natural values
to future generations. Trabzon city has been under severe urbanization problem
for the last 30 years due to migration from rural to coastal areas of the city.
It is thought that recently completed motorway and its service roads
accelerated the urbanization on coastal periphery. Therefore, the problem must
be resolved as soon as possible to achieve the good environmental status of the
coast in the city. Thus, as a solution, DPSIR framework was proposed for
systematic evaluation and documentation of the related critical issues by
starting with a questionnaire composed of open ended questions for
determination of major coastal problems in the city. As a step forward, the
problems are quantitatively investigated and confirmed by using remote sensing
techniques and census data compiled from TUIK databases. As a result major
drivers were defined as "coastal urbanization", "coastal land
filling" and "coastal transportation"   for the city of Trabzon. It is recommended
that single authority (composed of various specialists) must take the
responsibility of coastal planning in the region. Moreover, the rights of the
municipalities on the coastal zone must urgently be stopped by applying
continues independent monitoring. Finally, taxation and land owning policies
have to be revised on coastal areas to balance and encourage alternative city
planning strategies.
