CREATING PEACE PARK BETWEEN TURKEY AND GEORGIA
Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 53
Abstract
The political borders have been associated with various ecological issues such as biodiversity reduction and landscape fragmentation. The subject of border land conservation has been generated to handle these problems around the international borders, which were introduced as “Peace Park” or “Transboundary Conservation Area” (TBCA). Turkey shares a huge valley known as Machakhel over its border with Georgia that has unique ecosystem, biodiversity and other historical and cultural values. This area is under various management strategies of two countries. Even though the Idea of cooperation between two countries with the aim of the valley protection has been discussed for a long time, there is no research or evaluation performed about the possible ways. This article with suggestion of creation an international peace park over the border analyzes the current situation of the area based on the available report and documents. Biologic, socio –economic situations and planning approaches considered for both parts in Turkey and Georgia are surveyed in this article. This work makes a discussion about the challenges around the whole valley’s management under the category of TBCA and the potential achievements that it may provide for both countries.
