Özet

In this study, stakeholder groups for participatory watershed management in Kovada sub basin have been grouped in terms of their characteristics and their effects in the basin, and the main basin stakeholder groups have been defined. A survey consisting of 41 questions has been made with the farmers constituting the biggest stakeholder group in the basin. The survey has also been directed to the dealers of pesticides with whom the farmers have the most relations, and to the headmen of the villages within the basin. Furthermore, administrative bodies having authority on management of water resources of the basin have been interviewed. As a result of the survey with these stakeholder groups and the interviews, the data which can be used in constituting a participatory management model have been collected and statistically analyzed. The results of the survey with stakeholder groups and interviews indicated that large number of organizations has direct and indirect interest in the aspects of water resources management in local level with lack of communications and coordinations.
