Özet

cesme is a city that is located in Izmir Province in Turkey and has been developing with its port city characteristics, location, tourism potential, military, and trade potentials since the Medieval Age. This study aimed to analyze the impacts of tourism that emerged in cesme in the last century with the help of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and contribute to planning the city with sustainable principles without losing its tourism attractiveness. The impacts of tourism on the city's macroform development, its natural and built environment, cultural heritage, and architectural configuration were analyzed with GIS and evaluated with SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. The study determined that the impacts of tourism on the city could be observed in the port due to the interaction with Chios, on the coastline and in the natural site area with the expansion of second homes, and in the urban site area with the historic port city identity. As a result of the study, the impacts of tourism in the city were found on the harbor and coastline, second home settlement, and historical city texture. Cruise tourism and coastal tourism pose a threat to the ecological structure of the coastline. Second home settlement adversely affects the historical silhouette of the coastline and the city while threatening its natural protected areas. The historical city texture has been restored for the city with the conservation projects created in recent years. However, its functional integration with coastal tourism is needed. In this context, the conservation development planning zones created by the Ministry of Culture are extremely important for the future of the city. However, for sustainable tourism development of the city, holistic planning focusing on the coastline, historical city, port, and Chios is required instead of sectional planning.
