Özet

Rangelands and plateaus typically have naturally occurring plant groups. The estimates reveal that rangeland ecosystems cover approximately 50% of the planet's land and provide most of the forage requirements of the world's animal population. In this study, we aim to investigate the impact of Law No. 7143, also known as the Zoning Peace among the People, which entered into force in 2018, on potential illegal buildings in rangeland and plateau areas. As the study area, we chose the plateau and rangeland areas of the Akçaabat district of Trabzon province. We identified illegal buildings in the study areas using Google Earth Pro software satellite images and Triplesat satellite images. We examined 16 plateaus, and as a result of our determinations, we observed that a total of 83 new buildings were constructed during this time, with 33 in the first study area and 50 in the second. The results showed that illegal construction continues in some places, the inspection process is inefficient, and the Zoning Peace Law encourages this.
