Eco villages became an implementation area of the eco tourism in rural regions. They became favorable destinations that include the traditional life. Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus had initiated eco tourism movement in Karpaz Peninsula through by laws (emirname) in 2004. It was visioned then that a sustainable planning approach would be of importance to the Cyprus Island. In this study a sustainable planning approach has been developed to contribute to the state�s initiative to gain the core villages to the eco tourism.
Environmental problems the world is faced today are critically tackled with and the eco tourism and the eco village concepts are discussed in terms of their contents. The core village concept to be gained as the main motive for the tourism is dealt with in detail. A conceptual framework in reference to the sustainable planning principles is established to gain core villages to the tourism. In developing the conceptual framework for the eco villages the sustainable planning principles of Wheeler is adapted. These principles are grouped as; a.Compact, efficient land use, b. Less automobile use, better access, c. Efficient resource, less pollution and waste, d. Restoration of natural systems, e. Good housing and living environments, f. A healthy social ecology, g. A sustainable economics, h. Community participation, i. Praservation of local culture and wisdom. These are used as cross references in assessing the situation in the case of B�y�kkonuk Village which was declared as the pilot area for the eco tourism.

Eko k�yler k�rsal kesim turizminin bir uygulama alan� olmaktad�r. Geleneksel k�y hayat�n� da ya�ama katan tatil g�zergahlar�n�n tercihi haline gelmektedir. Kuzey K�br�s T�rk Cumhuriyeti�nde (KKTC), Devletin taraf olarak 2004�teki Karpaz Yar�madas�nda emirname kararlar�yla ba�latt�� eko k�y turizm hareketlerinin, s�rd�r�lebilirlik kapsam�nda bir planlama yakla��m� ile K�br�s Adas�nda uygulanmas�n�n yararl� olaca�� d��n�lmektedir. Devletin bu kararlar�na katk� sa�lamak �zere, �ekirdek k�ylerin turizme kazand�r�lmas� i�in s�rd�r�lebilirlik kavram� cer�ecesinde bir �al��ma geli�tirilmi�tir.
�al��mada, �evre sorunlar�, s�rd�r�lebilir geli�me ve �evresel s�rd�r�lebilirlik tart��larak eko turizm ve eko k�y, i�erik olarak ele al�nm��, turizme kazand�r�lacak �ekirdek k�y�n kapsam� a��klanm��t�r. �ekirdek k�ylerin s�rd�r�lebilirli�i i�in bir kavramsal �er�eve olu�turularak s�rd�r�lebilir eko turizm ba�lam�nda planlama ilkeleri ortaya konmu�tur. Eko k�ylerin s�rd�r�lebilir olmas�na y�nelik, Wheeler�in s�rd�r�lebilirlik planlamaya y�nelik ortaya koydu�u 9 temel �al��ma alan� olan; a. Kompakt, dengeli arazi kullan�m�, b. Ara� kullan�m� ve kolay eri�im, c. Kaynaklar�n ak�lc� kullan�m�, at�klar�n azalt�lmas�, �evre kirlili�inin �nlenmesi, d. Do�al sistemlerin restorasyonu, e. �yi konut ve ya�am �evresi, f. Sa�l�kl� sosyal ekoloji, g. S�rd�r�lebilir ekonomi, h. Halk kat�l�m�, i. Yerel k�lt�r ve toplumsal de�erlerin korunmas�, kavramsal �er�eveleri kullan�larak bir model ulu�turulmu�tur. Bu model �er�evesinde eko turizm uygulamas� i�in devlet taraf�ndan pilot k�y olarak se�ilen B�y�kkonuktaki olu�umlar irdelenmektedir.
