| Popis: | Tectonic feature, lithological and topographical structure, climatic conditions and river regimes of our country result in obsessing a great potential in terms of waterfalls. But it cannot be stated that this potential is being used touristic enough. Whereas, these natural water bodies attracting people with the beauty of landscapes, can be evaluated as alternative to coastal tourism in the range of tourism by protecting natural appearance, overcoming the lack of infrastructure and advertising. Sizir Waterfall, which is the subject to our research, is located in the boundaries of Sizir town of Gemerek district of Sivas Province. Waterfall, is located 19 km away Sivas-Kayseri highway, can be reached any time of year. Closeness to main road and accessibility to the waterfall arise the attractiveness of touristic. Sizir Waterfall consists of Goksu stream (Sizir water), is one of the branches of the Red River, with water falling over travertine step. Approximately 22-meter-high waterfall water falls in line of seven drops. This may vary according to the seasons and the amount of water passing through the waterfall. Although Sizir Waterfall and the surrounding are known by local people, it is insufficiently known across the country. We believe that this touristic value will take its rightful share of the tourism pie with the introduction of the scope of nature-based ecotourism at the second degree natural site that has been declared by Sivas Cultural and Natural Heritage Protection Regional Office in 2001 and that has the necessary infrastructure facilities. At this point, we hope that our study will contribute to increasing the introduction and awareness of the waterfall. Ozet Ulkemizin tektonik ozellikleri, litolojik ve topografik yapisi, iklim kosullari ve akarsu rejimleri selaleler bakimindan zengin bir potansiyele sahip olmasini saglamistir. Ancak bu potansiyelden turistik anlamda yeterince yararlanildigi soylenemez. Oysaki manzara guzelligiyle insanlari cezbeden bu dogal su yapilari, dogal gorunumlerinin korunmasi, alt yapi eksikliklerinin giderilmesi ve tanitimlarinin yapilmasiyla turizm yelpazesi icerisinde kiyi turizmine alternatif olarak degerlendirilebilir. Arastirmamizin konusunu olusturan Sizir Selalesi Sivas ili Gemerek ilcesi Sizir Beldesi sinirlarinda yer almaktadir. Sivas-Kayseri karayoluna 19 km mesafede yer alan selaleye yilin her mevsiminde ulasmak mumkundur. Selalenin anayola yakin olmasi ve erisebilme kolayligi turistik cekiciligini artirmaktadir. Sizir Selalesi, Kizilirmak’in kollarindan biri olan Goksu cayi (Sizir suyu) sularinin traverten basamagi uzerinden dokulmesiyle olusmustur. Yaklasik 22 metre yuksekligindeki selalenin sulari yedi dusus dogrultusundan dusmektedir. Bu durum mevsimlere ve selaleden gecen su miktarina gore degisebilmektedir. Sizir Selalesi ve cevresi, yore insani tarafindan bilinmesine ragmen ulke genelinde yeterince bilinmemektedir. Sivas Kultur ve Tabiat Varliklarini Koruma Bolge Mudurlugu tarafindan 2001 yilinda ikinci derece dogal sit alani ilan edilen ve gerekli alt yapi imkânlarina sahip olan bu turistik degerin doga temelli ekoturizm kapsaminda tanitilmasiyla turizm pastasindan hak ettigi payi alacagi inancindayiz. Bu noktada calismamizin da selalenin tanitimina ve bilinirligini artirmasina katki saglayacagini umit ediyoruz. |
