Özet
Kastamonu-Pompeiopolis is a protected area with historical, natural, and cultural value and has recently increased in popularity. The aim of this study is to ensure the sustainability of natural and cultural resources via an evaluation to reveal the necessary practices and precautions regarding the area’s landscape plan decisions for the ancient city. Maps of Pompeiopolis were created and the Gülez formula (1990) was used to evaluate the city. Based on the data obtained from the area, we have determined that it has a high recreational potential, and hence this study. We find that the untapped recreational potential of Pompeiopolis has yet to be exploited and reached. According to the formula, Pompeiopolis’s recreational potential is 72%, which means it is considered to be an area of high recreational potential. In conclusion, Pompeiopolis has a wealth of ecotourism activities, including historical and cultural tourism, bird watching, wildlife tours, adventure and sports tourism, photography, camping, picnic activities, and cave exploring. However, management and planning is needed for trekking, hiking, and the rest of the activities in order to ensure long-term sustainability.
