Determine visitor carrying capacity at the beach and seas recreational areas and application of LAC model in the beach managment

Tourism is an important sector that constitute to head of incoming sources of lots of contries in the world. There is talked about one billion human movement in tourisin destination in the worldwild. These numbers indicate us that a very big population are visiting, settling down and consuming natural sources. Addition to these natural beauties and cultural accretion, countries of attened the toursim contest with a lot of alternative toursim application, struggle to attract more toursit to own countries. In this contest, it means that the more countries able to atrract tourist, the more countries have income. Countries of adopted short time incomings based on comsuming natural sources are came across big problem at the next years. Due to increasing recreational apllications, wild life areas and pristine areas can be destroyed by humans that aimed short time incoming. These applications effect flora and fauna biodiversities, cause pollution and erosion. These negative effects cause water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, air, noise, solid pollution, noise pollution, crowd, ecological negative effects.In this study, numbers of user were monitored at morning, noon and evening in the study week to determine physical carrying capacity depend on environmental pressure on the different study areas which had been choosen previously. Occured environmental negative effects depend on density of users were recorded every day. Survey working was done the purpose of instant determine recreational quality to users on the working areas. Addition to survey application, taken answers from survey was assessed in the SPSS programme. Thus present ecological and social states were entegrated to physical carrying capacity and standards were aimed to constitute in the LAC model.KEYWORDS: Carrying capacity, costal recreational areas, number of beach user, Phaselis bay, Beachpark management
