It presents a perfect platform that brings products and services to the customer. However, web based tourist information system provides not only on-line brochures, but provides both value and service. Information technology is having a big effect on all sectors of tourism. Tourists have problems to find what they are looking for, especially in reference to the geographic position of the object and its surroundings. In most cases, it is not satisfying to find a nice hotel without a reference to restaurants, sights or event locations located nearby. The study presented in this paper starts from the user needs, to present the tourism object in geographic context on interactive tourist maps supports planning for tourism, focusing on the analysis, decisions making and management using GIS technique and presenting the results on the internet. 1. INTRODUCTION Touristic activities on the coastal lines have accelerated and the number of people participating has reached to more than 600 million a year. All over the world, getting maximum benefits from coastal zones, according to the concept of sustainable development is only possible by using management plans suitable for the characteristics of the area. Partnerships are becoming a very common; effective fast decision-making is possible using a geographic information system. During the last few years, the numbers of tourist sites / organizations that are using a Geographical Information System (GIS) have increased significantly. There are now many companies that are producing software and support specific to this industry. The tourist industry is now using GIS in many applications: interactive web-based maps, information kiosks, 3D hiking trail maps, analysis of current and potential customers, line of site analysis for new attractions and scenic bus routes, and much more. This only seems to be the tip of the iceberg for what the future holds in GIS technologies being implemented in the tourism industry. 2. CURRENT USES OF GIS IN THE TOURISM INDUSTRY There are two categories for the use of a GIS system in tourism, public use and management use. The public wants to find geographic information about a place before they go there. They want to know where things are located, what amenities are available, what the climate is like, and be able to do site specific searches to find information. This can be achieved through Web-based GIS, or Information Kiosks located in key tourist areas. The other user of the GIS is the Management side; management may be done by individual operators, a tourism group, or by the local municipality. Management users want to query the system for where customers are coming from, * Corresponding author. 90 their socio-economic backgrounds, and good potential locations for new tourist sites etc. One of the articles contains a list of general questions that public and management users may ask of a GIS system. 2.1 Study Area As seen in figure 1, in this study Side at the Mediterranean coast of Turkey has been selected as study area. This area is one of the most popular and important tourism areas of Turkey. With its modern tourist facilities, Side is nowadays one of the liveliest towns on Turkey's southern coast. The region situated between the "lake" and the sea contains many facilities. Titreyen Gol is not in reality an actual lake According to Strabo, during the second half of the VII century B.C., Greek colonists from an lonian city settled there. The area is excellent for mountain biking, trekking and cliff parachuting. Obtained results not only show that the problems still existing in the study area can be determined easily and systematically using by exposed GIS but also proved that GIS can be applied to these kinds of studies. There are lots of historical monuments and natural resorts in this area. Photographs of several historical and natural examples also can be seen in the figure 2. There are also several holiday resorts lie around this town. East of Side, tucked in pine forests the holiday resorts of Sorgun, Titreyen Gol (Blue Flag) and Kizilagac are both popular for their sandy beaches and sparkling sea. The atmosphere is relaxed, the accommodation plentiful and the activities endless. West of Side, the holiday centers of Kumkoy, Colakli and Kamelya also offer sun and sea, in close proximity to ancient sites. In the Pamphlyian . Seleucia, 15km northeast of Side, are the remains (in good condition) of Roman baths, temples, churches, a mausoleum, theatre and agora (Seker, 2002) Ini in
