Summary/Abstract: Before 1980s, while Manavgat was an agriculture town; the south coast of the Aegean, the west coast of Antalya Gulf (by South Antalya Tourism Development Project) and the east coasts (by Side Tourism Project) were included in the scope of the Tourism Promotion Law dated 1982 numbered 2634. Following this date, Manavgat entered into the process of rapid urbanisation and building of accommodation facilities in certain areas of the coastline was accelerated by incentive credits. Especially after 1990s and 2000s, a rapid migration and population increase were seen in the city associated with the progress in tourism and other employment opportunities. Due to the increasing migration and population, opening agricultural areas and forestlands for settlement, the view of the city has been changed.
