The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulation, which came into effect for the first time in 1993, was introduced in Turkey in accordance with Law No. 2872 published in 1983. Within the scope of this study, the statistical analysis of EIA applications in Amasya province has been conducted since 2000 in accordance with the EIA Regulations in force, and an evaluation of the current situation has been presented. Additionally, investments decided within the scope of the EIA Regulation were evaluated in relation to gross domestic product (GDP) national calculations [GDP (in thousand TL), GDP per capita ($), and GDP per capita (TL)] using data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) for the years 2004-2022.
