Konyaalti region is developed last decade in Antalya. Antalya is the Mediterranean city in Turkey. It has been the centre of culture, art, architecture and mythology throughout its histo-ry. With its nature made up of dark blue seas, spectacular Taurus mountains, fervent water-falls and world known holiday villages is what makes Antalya the capital of Tourism. There are too many hotels and holiday village and new tourism facilities have still being built in the city. The rise of the building sector affects all the planning actions all over the city. Because of this, in urban areas hard surface density is rising and by the conclusion of this process affects the urban areas. Under these conditions, the identities of the cities are lost and de-crease of the green areas like orchards affect life quality of the public. The main problem of this situation is that the managing of the city development or master plans cannot be applied as it should be.
Human impact on natural landscapes through urbanization era is becoming more and more dramatic and is the cause of serious environmental problems in Konyaalti region as well as in Turkey. In this research orchards which are valuable for urban ecosystem were defined on urban structural plan for Konyaalti settlement. Furthermore importance of orchards maps in sustainable urban planning evaluated from the standpoint of landscape architecture profes-sion. It was proposed some suggestions for protecting and using orchards. Orchards are also found in close proximity to the region where they form a band along the periphery of Konyaalti. Cypress tree boundaries in association with orchards are common feature of the traditional Mediterranean landscape. The orchards are an important landscape component, especially in Bogacay riverside. However, the areas that are represent of the agricultural Mediterranean vegetation are facing extinction in urban because of rapid urbanization in An-talya Konyaalti region. At the end of this study was to determine the protecting principles to existing Agricultural areas and to put some suggestions for landscape management princi-ples to sustainable Mediterranean landscape in the Antalya Konyaalti region.
