Summary/Abstract: Coastal areas have always been an indispensable area for humankind due to the opportunities they offer. The sustainability of the coastal areas, which have social and economic meanings for human activities, has been endangered as they are exposed to huge pressures owing to the rapid depletion of resources. It is necessary to well-organized integrated coastal zone management that adressess environmental, economic and social dimensions with a holistic approach as well as spatial planning in order to sustainability of coastal areas. In this context, integrated coastal zone plans and spatial planning relations in Turkey were evaluated through case study on Izmit Bay and Bursa Province within the frame of principles of integrated coastal zone management as a comparative table. As a result of this study, it was seen that decisions are developed only for the land sections, and there are no provisions regarding aquatic ecosystem and water resources management for marine sections in the integrated coastal area plans of Izmit Bay and Bursa Province where anthropogenic effects are intense. The awareness of the actors involved in the process should be provided first in order to constitute a management model for consistence and coordination between institutions and administration that have authority and responsibility in the coastal areas and the sectors in business on the coastal areas.
