Natural and anthropogenic threats to the cultural tourism potential of Kıyıköy
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper discusses the cultural tourism potential of Kıyıköy and the natural and anthropogenic threats to extant cultural tourism values such as the Kıyıköy castle walls, Aya Nicholas Monastery and historical Kıyıköy houses. For this coastal town where such different cultural heritage elements are found together, cultural tourism offers an important alternative opportunity. On the other hand, recent deterioration in the structures is significant, especially due to ongoing human interventions. The loss of architectural elements, vegetation cover and pollution as well as writing on the walls and other damage by human impacts at the Aya Nicholas monastery have almost eliminated the original texture of the structures. Although similar examples are found in very few places in Turkey, the historic Kıyıköy houses are the most important civil architecture assets of the town but have been exposed to intense destruction and misuse. Protection and restoration work should immediately be initiated in line with the Tourism Strategy of Turkey-2023.
