Environmental Assessment method is a method in which the significant impacts of the plan or
program on the environment are determined. This process is not a decision-making process on
its own, but a process that develops and supports the decision-making process. It is the analysis
and evaluation of the potential permanent or temporary impacts of new projects and develop-
ments on the environment, including their social consequences and alternative solutions. With
this method, the plan or program is supported by the feedback method.

New integrated coastal zone plans are subject to the strategic environmental assessment pro-
cess, and both processes are carried out together.

G.3. Developments in Zoning Legislation

In addition to the zoning legislation carried out by MoEUCC, R&D studies and pilot projects were
carried out with universities to determine the construction conditions in villages within the sco-
pe of local characteristics and needs with protection-oriented rural area planning. By benefiting
from the results of these projects, amendments were made to the “Unplanned Areas Zoning
By-law” on July 11, 2021. With the arrangements made, it was possible to determine rural and
village settlement areas and their surroundings in accordance with the unique structure of the
rural area, taking into account disaster zones, and the definition of “scattered settlements” was
introduced.
