This area is evaluated in terms of greenway planning criteria for the determination of appropriate land use decisions and may undertake functions were analysed. After analyses of the valley, suggestions were given for appropriate goals for greenway planning strategy and functions. Study includes the following steps: Literature Research, Analyses, Data Integrity and Statistical Results, Assessments and Presentation. As a result, suitable areas in respect to recreational and scenery functions are presented in the study area. The area is evaluated in 3 zones. In the proposed scenarios for these zones, the opportunities of the area as recreational, ecology and education corridors are presented through illustrations. The 1st zone is evaluated as recreational and education corridors, the 2nd zone is evaluated as recreational, ecology and education corridors and the 3rd zone is evaluated as recreational, ecology, education and scenery corridors.
