Özet
The caves of Camlik are approximately 1,5 km far from the small town of Camlik which is a town of Konya, Derebucak. Many geological and geomorphological literatures are found about the caves. Moreover, it is underway by the local government of the small town of Camlik to ensure the caves of Camlik a sustainable resource for turism purposes. The caves of Camlik, which also enclose Korukini and Suluin Caves, have geological and geomorphological features that are very similar to each other with Taurus Karst belt. The caves are developed in the lower Beysehir-Hoyran Nappes' Jurassic Cretaceous piny limestone. At the bottom of this limestone, Tiryas marms and Permian dolomites and calc-schits are the base surface position for the karstification. Cave of Korukini, extending NW-SE direction, developed on the fault lines consistent with the tectonic zone of the region. Caves of Korukini and Suluin are separated but they are the two end ring of the same underground system. Uzunsu Creek, flowing along the length of 1330 meters of cave of Korukini from the caves of Camlik come to the surface at the Degirmenlik Valley. Uzunsu Creek flowing by entering into the cave of Degirmenini, comes to the surface after covering the 290 meters of cave of Suluin. The purpose of this study is to make caves of Camlik opened for the sustainable tourism purposes by promoting them. We think the caves are significant potential in terms of tourism and it is a fact that it will make contribution to the economy of the local people. For the introduction of this place, along with review of literature and evaluating studies of local government, the caves were made in trip-observation.
