Regulation Amending the Regulation on the Implementation of the Coastal Law
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This 2026 amendment updates the Regulation on the Implementation of Turkey's Coastal Law (Kıyı Kanunu). It primarily replaces outdated references to the former Ministry name with the current 'Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change'. The regulation corrects several date references from '11 July 1992' to '17/4/1990'. Most significantly, it revises Article 16 regarding the determination of coastal strips (sahil şeridi) in urban and rural settlements, particularly in tourism areas. Where an approved development plan existed before 17 April 1990 and partial or full construction has occurred, the coastal strip defined in that approved plan remains valid. Otherwise, the coastal strip is determined according to the criteria in subparagraph (c). The changes also update provincial directorate names and reassign executive responsibility to the Minister.
