Özet: The coastal areas offer natural, cultural, economic and aesthetic facilities and they are distinguished by their significant functions such as creating habitat for urban flora-fauna at the city center and the environment close to it, giving people the recreation opportunity, regulating the urban ecology. The Akkaya dam in the Niğde region is an example. The presence of Akkaya dam birds on the migration route and the reed areas around the dam are places frequented by migratory birds. Not only bird species but also different species of fish are hosted. The dam is used for irrigation of agricultural lands used for human beings, in order to meet the water needs of wild animals, grazing in the region. However, increasing pollution of dam water creates adverse effects particularly on the animals. The aim of the study is to determine the potential effects of Akkaya Dam on the living creatures and offer suggestions about it. Sampling will be made by using geographic information systems (GIS). In the light of this information, landscape development areas will be created for natural conservation, landscape restoration, and visual landscape improvements and planning of recreational potential of dam lake, data will be evaluated and alternative solutions options for the area will be proposed.
