It is, therefore, possible only by conserving the resources and protecting environment. During the planning and designing phase of the buildings for the tourism related activities, sustainability must be criteria. This criterion must also be taken into account while constructing artificial lagoons that are the parts of tourism related investments. In this study, an artificial lagoon which is planned to be constructed at Antalya in Turkey is taken as an example. This lagoon will mainly be designed for the marine tourism. This study investigates the possible circulation problems of the lagoon to avoid environmental damage. A numerical model in order to solve these circulation problems is also provided. With the help of this mentioned model, the circulation of the lagoon is analyzed by giving different flow rates from different points of the lagoon. As a result, the flow rate combination which can ensure the efficient circulation is obtained. During the analysis, the currents values are taken with the concern that the yachts anchored in the lagoon must not be affected by the agitation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessConference Object393+N/AWOS:0002884655000422-s2.0-84900804701
