Abstract
User perceptions can become vital especially at beach preferences as cleanliness, safety and amenities are some of the apparent factors that will affect. With the awareness of probable adaptation of beach users’ demands into policy recommendations, a case study has been carried out at Black Sea Coast of ?stanbul at ?ile beaches. ?ile has been chosen in this study purposefully as it is a touristic district of ?stanbul which has aimed to earn Blue Flag award previously. Secondly, it receives high amount of visitors especially during the peak periods in weekends; as it has a very close location to the city, people are choosing here most of the time just for the day. In this research with factors about human use of beach and impacts like cleanliness and sufficiency of amenities (showers, toilets, changing cubicles, parks etc.) and the number of lifeguards are studied. Regarding the findings, the researchers consequently highlight recommendations for ?ile beach management which could enhance the visitor experience.

User perceptions can become vital especially at beach preferences as cleanliness, safety and amenities are some of the apparent factors that will affect
We can discuss about a complex beach user profile from different places, socio-economic backgrounds, with different wants and expectations
Current beach management tools are based on classifying and rating several basic beach elements one promising tool that has been poorly addressed in the literature is the collection of information from the public (Roca et al 2009: 598)
Summary
User perceptions can become vital especially at beach preferences as cleanliness, safety and amenities are some of the apparent factors that will affect. Şile has been chosen in this study purposefully as it is a touristic district of İstanbul which has aimed to earn Blue Flag award previously It receives high amount of visitors especially during the peak periods in weekends; as it has a very close location to the city, people are choosing here most of the time just for the day. Human behaviours are the root causes of beach litter, but the factors drive these behaviours are poorly understood, hampering design of efficient intervention programs to reduce litter (Eastman et al, 2013: 18) In conjunction with this fact Rabenold (2013: 295) added that coasts are highly dynamic environments, subject to coastal processes that reshape coastlines and pose hazards to people, property, ecosystems, and economies. Current beach management tools are based on classifying and rating several basic beach elements one promising tool that has been poorly addressed in the literature is the collection of information from the public (Roca et al 2009: 598)
