Özet

The Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) is a human-centered regional development project targeting the full-fledged socio-economic development of Southeastern Anatolia. As a project adopting the principle of sustainable development, GAP covers investments in such areas as urban and rural infrastructure, transportation, industry, education, health, housing, tourism and other sectors in addition to dams, hydraulic power plants and irrigation schemes on the rivers Euphrates and Tigris. The project has the main challenge of substantially improving the quality of life of the people and closing the development of GAP existing between this particular region and the other regions of the country. Under this project, activities for the resettlement of the people affected by the dams who live like nomad communities are taking place. In addition, improving physical and socio-economic features of existing settlements are considered.
