The present scenic assessment study has a checklist that itemizes 26
parameters (comprising physical and human parameters), as a first step in
quantifying scenery. Each parameter was rated on a five-point score, essentially
covering presence/absence or poor quality (1), to excellence/outstanding (5). The
ratings were subjected to fuzzy logic matrices and weights to reflect importance of
the various parameters, which produced histograms of weighted averages for the
various attributes. Based on this methodology coastal scenery evaluation was
carried out and coastal areas were grouped into 5 five classes from Class 1 = Top
Natural Sites to Class 5 = Very Unattractive Urban.
The present work focuses on human parameters from the perspective of
people with mobility handicaps. Public surveys were carried out for the necessary
arrangements in coastal areas for accessibility of these people. Selected site
(Antalya/Konyaalti Beach) is reviewed to bring some recommendations from the
point of view of people with mobility handicaps.
