Unlike the United States and the European Union, developing countries do not have sufficiently structured legal and institutional systems to apply certain environmental management tools such as ecological risk assessment. However, it is important for countries with valuable environmental and ecological resources to have appropriate tools and to strengthen their environmental management capabilities and capacities for the sake of those resources. The case study described in this paper attempts to be a case study towards developing environmental management plans, especially in developing countries. The problem formulation step of Ecological Risk Assessment applied in this study contributed to the basic elements of an environmental management plan including the following: the partnership-building process, prioritization of the problems and issues of the ecosystem, and development of the action plan. Based on the information provided by participants from a series of workshops held to develop an environmental management plan for Uluabat Lake, ecosystem risks were ranked and an action plan was formed. The results obtained with the aid of fuzzy set theory provided a base for identification of the action steps by allowing scientific information to be included in the process. The degree to which Uluabat Lake's problem formulation fits into the existing legal framework of Turkey is also analyzed in this paper.
与美国和欧盟不同，发展中国家没有足够完善的法律和制度体系来应用某些环境管理工具，如生态风险评估。然而，对于拥有宝贵环境和生态资源的国家来说，为了这些资源而拥有适当的工具并加强其环境管理能力是很重要的。本文所描述的案例研究旨在成为一个制定环境管理计划的案例研究，特别是在发展中国家。本研究中应用的生态风险评估的问题制定步骤促成了环境管理计划的基本要素，包括以下内容：建立伙伴关系的过程、生态系统问题和议题的优先级确定以及行动计划的制定。根据为乌鲁阿巴特湖制定环境管理计划而举办的一系列研讨会的参与者提供的信息，对生态系统风险进行了排名并形成了行动计划。借助模糊集理论获得的结果通过将科学信息纳入该过程为确定行动步骤提供了基础。本文还分析了乌鲁阿巴特湖的问题制定与土耳其现有法律框架的契合程度。
