The ISC meeting has been conducted on 17/08/2007 in Muğla Province. The documentation and the procedures and the results of the Initial Stakeholders Meeting can be found under the ISC report.

The major purpose of the MSC is to further inform the stakeholders about the project and to identify and evaluate the opinions, comments for and against the project in an open and transparent manner. By this way it is ensured that the draft PDD is adjusted reflecting all relevant comments of the stakeholders. This process also assures that all relevant measures are taken regarding environmental and socio-economic impacts. The Main Stakeholder Consultation process took place starting from 26/03/2008 ending on 26/05/2008, where the Project Design Document was made available for consultation. 2.

Respective changes in the project design (if necessary) Although there were no negative comments in the MSC period an Exploration trip has done for the Datca area by the representatives of Demirer Holding on the 21-22th of April 2008 in order to see the current situation in the region and find out what can be done to promote sustainable development. The main target of the exploration trip was to initiate implementation of sustainable tourism policies for the regional development whit a focus on protecting natural life and cultural values. Interviews were done with the stakeholders mentioned below: -DACEV: Mrs.Yolande AYDEMĐR -Old and New Village Headman of Kızlan: Mr. Ali GEREMELĐ and Mr.Hüseyin KUZU -Old Village Headman of Eski Datça: Mr. Orhan -Proprietor of an Eski Datça Houses (Boutique hotel): Mr. Erol PĐR -Operator of Restaurant: Mr. - Owner of Knidia EcoFarm in the Yazı Village: Mr. Ali SOMER - Head official of a Datca District: Mustafa KAYA - Manager of an Sındık Village Cooperative: Mr. Ömer At the end of the interviews it was concluded that many uncoordinated endeavors for sustainable development has been performed within Datça district. It was assessed that training is the key to enable coordination. All the stakeholders agreed that training was necessary for the coordination of activities. It was also concluded that technical support was necessary to implement possible projects. Panel Discussion on Sustainable Tourism As a result of the interviews mentioned above it was decided to organize a panel in the region. The panel will be organized as an awareness raising activity on the subject to define potential cooperation opportunities with the local stakeholders. Informative presentations including success and failure stories will be presented by sustainable tourism experts. The emphasis will be on the challenges and opportunities for the farmers guesthouse start-ups as microenterprises. The issue will be entirely discussed with participants especially for the Datca distrcit. After the panel, a booklet will be prepared containing discussed questions and answers as information material. Furthermore by consulting District Governership and NGOs, it is planned to start initial works for the fundraising on sustainable development from the foreign resources like EU projects. The issue will be discussed in detail with District Governership and DACEV (Datça Environment Organization) and other NGOs to define implementable strategies. Shortfall in this issue is frequently stated by all the parties interviewed in the area. Nonetheless, in order to accurately define the technical assistance requirements and identify possibilities, local participation is a must. From this point of view, collaboration possibilities regarding this issue will also be on the agenda of planned panel. The panel is planned to take place on September or October

7 Annexes Annex I Official from Demirer Holding to Datca Provincial Administration Sayın Datça Kaymakamı Mustafa KAYA, Datça ile ilgili yapmak istediğimiz çalışma hakkında geçenlerde telefonda yapmış olduğumuz konuşma sonrasında hem biraz daha konuyu ayrıntılandırmak hem de Eylül ayında gerçekleştirmeyi istediğimiz toplantı adına sizden Temmuz yada Ağustos ayı içerisinde ziyaret talebinde bulunabilmek adına bu yazıyı yazmayı uygun bulduk. Konu ile ilgili yorumlarınızı arz ederiz. Hedef: Doğal hayatı ve kültürel zenginlikleri koruyarak bölgenin kalkınmasını sağlayan sürdürülebilir turizm politikalarını uygulamaya yönelik çalışmaları başlatmak Sürdürülebilir Turizm üzerine Panel: Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma nın altyapısı olan farkındalık ve bilinç oluşturmaya yönelik bir toplantı olacaktır. Sürdürülebilir Turizm konusunda uzman kişiler tarafından bilgilendirici sunumlar yapılarak, yurt içi ve yurt dışından olumlu ve olumsuz örnekler verilecektir. Panelde, özellikle Köy Pansiyonculuğu ele alınarak, Datça daki fırsatlar ve zorluklar, katılımcılarla birlikte tartışılacaktır. Panel sonrasında, tartışılan soruları ve cevaplarını da içeren bir kitapçık hazırlanacaktır. Ayrıca Kaymakamlık ve STK lar ile görüşülerek, Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma konusunda AB gibi yabancı kaynaklardan fon alacak şekilde alt yapı çalışmasının başlatılması da planlanmaktadır. Bu konu, Kaymakamlık, Daçev ve diğer STK lar ile daha detaylı olarak görüşülerek etkin bir şekilde hayata geçirilmeye çalışılacaktır. Bu konuda bölgede eksiklik olduğu görüşülen taraflar tarafından sıkça dile getirilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, teknik destek ihtiyaç tespitini doğru şekilde yapabilmek ve imkanları ortaya çıkarmak için yerel katılım şarttır. Bu açıdan planlanması öngörülen panelde, bu konuda ortak çalışma imkanları da ele alınacaktır. Bu konudaki görüş ve düşüncelerinizi bildirmenizi arz ederiz.
