Özet

The purpose of this study was to determine possible damage created by recreational activities in Yedigoller (Seven Lakes) National Park and to recommend recreational impact management decisions in order to ensure its sustainable use. Four picnic and camping areas and one control area in the National Park were selected as sampling areas. In order to determine the ecological effects of recreational activities and the pressures on the plant life and the soil, an observation form was used. The study also addressed the stress on the Fagus orientalis trees in all recreation areas near Nazli Lake, Buyuk Lake, and Derin Lake. Findings from the soil analysis indicated that in general, intense human activities in the area had negatively affected both the physical and chemical properties of the soil. As a result of the evaluation of the observation forms, all of the sampling areas in the park were determined to be in poor condition.
