Summary
Urbanization poses significant threats to the ecological and cultural integrity of Patara, a critical nesting site for endangered Caretta Caretta sea turtles. The study emphasizes the urgent need for conservation strategies that balance development with the preservation of natural and historical values, including the region's inclusion in UNESCO World Heritage Lists. It highlights the effectiveness of legal frameworks such as the Patara Special Environmental Protection Area Management Plan and the Gelemiş Conservation Plan in mitigating illegal constructions. By analyzing current challenges and proposing solutions aligned with national and international conservation laws, this research provides a blueprint for sustainable protection of Patara's unique biodiversity and historical legacy.
