Abstract:

 After the 19th century industrial revolution, people were squeezed into big cities as a result of intensified work life and population growth. This congestion has negatively affected individuals mentally and physically. As a result of this negative impact, the interest of individuals in outdoor recreation activities has increased and the interest in national parks and nature parks has increased. Today, these areas are visited by many people for recreational or touristic activities. In this context, recreational activities in these areas are gradually developing, diversifying and occupying an important place in recreational or touristic activities. As a result of this situation, it becomes very important to protect the existing natural areas and to use them in a sustainable manner for the benefit of the society. In this context, our research was conducted to evaluate the sportive recreation potential of Poyrazlar Lake Nature Park in Sakarya. The sportive recreation potential evaluation method developed by Gülez in 1990 and modeled by Çalık in 2006 was used as a method in the research. SRD Sportive Recreation Value, P Landscape Value, I Climate, U Accessibility and OSE Negative Factors were used as criteria in the evaluation of the lake area. At the end of the research; the natural resource values of Poyrazlar Lake Nature Park and the outdoor sportive recreation value in the forest were found to be 77. In the light of this result, the suitability of the natural resources of Poyrazlar Lake for sportive use is as follows: Hiking, Mountain Biking, Canoeing, Paintball, ATV-Safari, Bird Watching, Sport Fishing and Photography are seen as the most compatible outdoor sportive recreation activities with the structure of the region.

 Sanayi devriminden sonra insanlar yoğunlaşan iş hayatı ve nüfus artışı sonucu büyük şehirlere sıkışmıştır. Bu sıkışma, bireylere zihinsel ve fiziksel olarak negatif tarzda tesir etmiştir. Bu negatif etkilenmenin bir sonucu olarak bireylerin açık hava rekreasyon etkinliklerine olan ilgisinin artması ile Milli parklara ve tabiat parklarına olan ilgi de artmıştır. Günümüzde bu alanlar birçok insan tarafından rekreatif ya da turistik faaliyetlerde bulunmak için ziyaret edilmektedir. Tabiat alanlarının korunması ve toplumun faydası gözetilerek sürdürülebilir bir tarzda kullanılması çok önem kazanmaktadır çünkü rekreatif faaliyetler gittikçe gelişmekte, çeşitlilik kazanmaktadır ve tabiat alanları rekreatif ya da turistik etkinlikler bakımından çok önemlidir. Bu bakımdan araştırmamız, Sakarya da bulunan Poyrazlar Gölü Tabiat Parkının sportif rekreasyon potansiyelini değerlendirmek için yapılmıştır. Araştırmada yöntem olarak Gülezin 1990 senesinde geliştirdiği ve Çalık tarafından 2006 da modellenen sportif rekreasyon potansiyeli değerlendirme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada göl sahasının incelenmesi safhasında, Sportif Rekreasyon Değeri SRD, Peyzaj Değeri P, İklim İ, Ulaşılabilirlik U ve Olumsuz Etkenler OSE, yapılan değerlendirmede kriterler olarak kullanılmıştır. Yapılan araştırmanın sonunda; Poyrazlar Gölü Tabiat Parkı doğal kaynak değerleri ve açık alan sportif rekreatif potansiyel değeri bakımından 77 bir oranla çok yüksek olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuca göre, Poyrazlar Gölü doğal kaynak değerleri ve açık alan sportif rekreatif potansiyel değeri bakımından çok yüksek potansiyele sahiptir. Poyrazlar Gölüne ait doğal kaynakların sportif kullanımına göre uygunluğu ise şu şekilde sıralanmaktadır: doğa yürüyüşü, dağ bisikleti, kano, paintball, ATV aktiviteleri, alandaki kuşların gözlenmesi, sportif anlamda balıkçılık ve fotoğrafçılık bölge yapısıyla en uyumlu açık alan sportif rekreatif aktiviteler olarak görülmektedir.
