“…The experience gained in developed countries in the formation of a database thanks to computer technology and in the preparation of conservation and management plans in places where natural qualities are of great importance may, when applied in our country, reduce the contradictions seen at present to a minimum. Therefore, in official institutes and institutions and in the relevant university departments, means should be provident for nature conservation projects and fields of expertise using a high degree of technology and priority should be given to the transfer of funds to these (Turkyılmaz et al 2007).…”

“…Model scientific studies have been carried out for development plans which should be prepared according to conservation priorities. However, in particular experts in GIS, natural scientists and many other types of experts need to work together for such projects (Turkyılmaz et al 2007).…”

“…Apart from this, another development which has arisen to the disadvantage of, in particular, natural sites are the claim amongst the public that the phenomenon of the natural site itself is opposed to investments/development. This situation is incompatible with the protection and development of the natural process, the participation of the natural process in the environments and the sustainability of natural characteristics, all of which require the existence of natural areas (Turkyılmaz et al 2007).…”

Because of their intense vegetation and the fact that they include areas of coastline, deltas situated in the vicinity of big cities are areas of great attraction for people who wish to get away from in a crowded city. However, coasts, with their fertile soil and unique flora and fauna, need to be protected. In order for the use of such areas to be planned in a sustainable way by local authorities, there is a need for detailed data about these regions. In this study, the changes in land use of the area between Topburnu and Uçburun Musa Bey Harbour on the Ceşme peninsula, which is to the immediate west of Turkey's third largest city Izmir, from 1976 up to the present day, were investigated. In the study, using aerial photographs taken in 1976, 1995 and 2000 and an IKONOS satellite image from the year 2007, the natural and cultural characteristics of the region and changes in the coastline were determined spatially. Using aerial photographs from 1976, 1995 and 2000 and an IKONOS satellite image from the year 2007, together with "1/25,000 scale Conservation-Oriented Development Plans" prepared in 1979, 1990 and 2000 by the committee for the Preservation of Natural and Cultural Entities attached to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Turkish Republic, the natural and cultural characteristics of the region and the land use changes and their connection with conservation rulings were determined spatially. In this study, spatial changes in land use over the years were compared with changing conservation rulings over the years and the emerging results have brought a new perspective to the subject in contrast to other similar studies.

“…The QGIS platform was used for the current study. The reason why the use of a GIS software was chosen was the fact that through it very different data types can be superimposed and quantitative analyzes can be performed at the territorial level (Turkyilmaz et al, 2007).…”

Data handling is a general objective of education, regardless of the educational level (middle school, high school, university or postgraduate) and branch. Being at the intersection between the humanities and the exact sciences, the field of design requires a continuous summation and overlapping of information from specialists. Obtaining data is essential for perceiving the current situation, but also for adapting the solution proposed in the planning process to the given situation, to the particularities and main characteristics of the context. How difficult it is to obtain information, but especially their overlap and correlation to obtain indicators specific to target areas, depends in most cases on the experience of the specialist in the field, but for a recent graduate, the training received during the years of university training is perhaps his most important support. However, there may be data that are predominantly available during university training and data that can be obtained predominantly outside the academic environment (financial data, communication with public institutions). The paper describes a proposal for a support platform to assist the process of architectural design, urban planning and landscaping in Romania, but which can also support adjacent studies and analyzes. The purpose of the platform is to support the design and planning process of heritage and landscape, architecture and urban planning, by simplifying the data acquisition process and also directing the design/planning process to a long-term perspective, which is based on resilient solutions for natural and built heritage and for the conservation of the local cultural landscape.
