Abstract
In this paper, current environment related socioeconomic state in Turkish Black Sea Basin is analyzed by using a conceptual mathematical model clarifying the interaction between socioeconomic activities and contribution of pollutants such as BOD, COD TSS, TN and TP by industrial, agricultural and other land use/land cover activities and future trends. Furthermore, we run the model dynamically from 1998 to 2009 by the specification of all sectors into 27 categories in each zone in the basin. Then we analyze the role of existing socioeconomic state the point of view in reducing the contaminants discharged into the Black Sea.
