Povzetek

V zadnjih desetletjih je človek z različimi dejavnosti vplival na izgled obale v okrožju Samsun in s tem spreminjal celoten obalni pas v tem območju. V tej razpravi sem poskušal ugotoviti, kako prebivalci in uporabniki plaž razumejo in gledajo na okoljske probleme obalnega območja okrožja Samsun. S tem namenom smo v juniju in juliju v letih 2005 in 2006 izvedli anketo na podlagi vprašalnika med 500 prebivalci in uporabniki plaž na osmih plažah okrožja Samsun, ki se raztezajo na 121 km obale na severu Turčije. Podatke smo zbirali s pomočjo intervjuja. Analiza podatkov iz intervjujev je pokazala, da so anketiranci kot glavni problem obalnega območja opazili onesnaženje obalnih morskih voda (89%), onesnaženje plaž in izgubo površine plaž (67%) in spremembe v rabi tal (91%). Glavni dejavniki onesnaženja obalnih morskih voda so odplake (98%), industrijski odpadki (74%) in odpadna olja, ki jih izpuščajo ladje (38%). Raziskava med prebivalci in uporabniki plaž je jasno pokazala, da se le-ti ne zavedajo dovolj okoljskih problemov obalnega območja. Da bi rešili te probleme, je nujno potrebno, da se celotna družba začne zavedati okoljskih problemov. Predlagamo, da se uvedejo programi za okoljsko izobraževanje prebivalstva, ki bi pomagali pri ohranjanju ekosistemov obalnega območja.
