Özet:

All the benefits and products that humans obtain from ecosystems during their lifecycles are known as ecosystem services. The rapid changes in the world lead to the deterioration of ecosystems and the decrease or extinction of the services offered by these ecosystems. In other words, mainly, population growth, misuse of land, climate change increases the pressure on ecosystems every day. As a result, we are faced with more vulnerable ecosystems where supply and demand balance cannot be preserved. In fact, many of the problems that are present today, such as flooding, erosion, water deficiency, are the way to explain this situation. The balance between man and nature must be established to solve problems, and it must adopt an approach that can both respond to human demands and ensure the sustainability of ecosystems. Therefore, the planning and management processes of ecosystems are ecologically based. At this point, the determination of the planning unit is of critical importance. In this context, it is important to evaluate the functions of the ecosystems that offer many services to the society with their functioning in the natural cycle, taking into account the functions they have on the pool scale. This study also addressed the integration of ecosystem services into the integrated pool management plan of the pool planning process that adopts the principle of sustainability. In this context, the definition of ecosystem services and pool concepts revealed how the conceptual interconnection between them should be assessed in the planning stages.
