Integrated Coastal Zone Management Studies in Turkey in the Context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: An Evaluation Using Bibliometric Analysis

In this study, within the framework of four of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which form the basic principles of coastal sustainability, the targets determined to be related to Turkey were examined in detail, to contribute to the development of an evaluation and measurement system, using the bibliometric analysis method on articles from the Web of Science. Then, we attempted to develop solutions in line with Turkey's conditions to eliminate the current problems. This study also aimed to contribute to the creation of criteria that could be used as the basis for determining the adequacy and effectiveness of the ICZM through the determination of the goals. In addition, within this study, we assessed Turkey's current situation regarding integrated coastal zone management and suggested a roadmap for evaluation and future solutions.
