Özet
Istanbul has hosted various civilizations and its population has been growing. This population and population growth have brought industrialization. Important steps made for energy supply and because of this, Silahtaraga Plant was established. The coal, that needed for the plant were obtained from Agacli area which is close to the region. Extracted coal from there has been moved to Silahtaraga Plant with the railway line that built specifically, during World War I. Coal supply for this plant has continued until 1983, the date that plant was closed. The same coal that extracted from Agacli region for many years has been used in Istanbul, especially for house heating. Usage of the Agacli region coals in urban heating has been abandoned because of the air pollution after the introduction of natural gas in 1992. In the process of the continuation, because of the idea of available spaces can not answer a growing population and increasing air traffic of Istanbul, 3rd Airport has been planned to cover mining sites in the form of abandoned or activated areas in Agacli and it's around. Although Agacli open pit coal mining enterprises operating in the area tried to rehabilitate these areas, compliance with the land use plan of abandoned mine sites and the city plan could not be achieved enough in the presence of deficiencies in legislation. In this paper, after mining capacity of Agacli site and the change of given coals to Istanbul from Silahtaraga Plant has been described, the urban development; rehabilitation of Agacli and the last situation of it, is going to be evaluated after the 3rd Airport decision.
