Land and zoning
The entire site belonged to the Treasury; it was expropriated on 09.11.1998 and, after Law No. 4562 came into force, registered in the name of the OSB legal entity on 12.07.2000. As the site fronts the Kızılırmak, the shoreline boundary was determined, and the processes concerning the protected-area status and the health protection buffer were completed in 2000–2001, after which the local zoning plans were approved by the Ministry.
