Abstract (2. Language):
The world is in a rapid evolution of environment and all its elements.
We talk of natural resources being exploited by people. It is necessary
to consider this topic for our own country even while striving to imple-
ment structural changes necessary for our development. All the problems
we face, force us to find a solution as how to we may use and arrange
our national natural resources to the best advantage. a typical example
of how we may benefit would be to redefine our concept for the use of
the coastal zone. In this zone, important contradictions of interest are
observed: on one hand is the value of the sea and island waterways to
transport and industry; and on the other, the interest shown by people
in using these zones for pleasure and recreation.
In this thesis, after an objective definition of coastal zone, the zone
is scrutinized in the frame of various other scientific definitions and
all their many facets; taking the quality of it being an important reso-
urce into consideration. But as it is mentioned in the definition, the
coastal zone has ta be examined with the numerous activities taking pla-
ce on it in mind and the relationships between the zone people and the
society who have the use of it. The phenomenon of the conspicuous, rapid
change in resources of the coastal zone resulting from the hard usage of
it, is also examined. It is then possible to make a definition of the co-
astal zone which considers all the conflicts of interest that have been
mentioned.
The proposed method to arrange this defined and sometimes
limited part of zone consists of a system which is parallel to
its progress; flexible, clear, gradual and leading. This method,
basically a matrix to apply the goals, must balance the
resources and ways of using them, according to some well
defined guide lines layed down by a certain policy. When
necessary, the matrix also has to be capable of an active
"conservation of the zone".
The goals (National-Zonal) have to be clearly defined; the
criteria for evaluating the facts must be determined; the
management must have its basic principles; in short, the
process of organization and application for the right
unification of zone and its users has to be directed by a
policy (National-Zonal) which is formed, by an upper structure
and its basic ideology. This upper structure must carry the
aim of improving our environment and social relations to a
healthier point.
