Erdem U., Nurlu E., Yilmaz O., Veryeri N.O.

In this study the Karaburun Peninsula where we see the longest undisturbed coastlines of the Aegean Region of Turkey was selected with the aim to analyze the natural structure of agricultural areas. The coastline of the Karaburun Peninsula has high cliffs penetrating into the sea, shores in various dimensions, islets and islands. The inland part is used for agriculture but there are also valleys and series of hills. The peninsula is in typical Mediterranean thermic regime with the climate. Besides having the Mediterranean rich flora and fauna the area is also a breeding area for particular birds and sea mammals internationally protected. The peninsula had been one of the most important areas of the Aegean Region in production of grapes, olives, honey and some other local agricultural products till 1980s. Today the peninsula is under the threat of current ongoing and potential future human activities that will cause natural and cultural structural change.
