The importance of rock reclamation studies in Turkey is getting better and better every day. The Black Sea Region is at the forefront of the areas where rock breeding studies are frequently encountered. Especially in Trabzon, there are two important protected areas such as Uzung？l and Sümela Monastery, which are under the danger of rockfalls. Uzung？l is a natural protected area due to being a landslide lake and the frequent forests and natural flora that surrounds it. Rock reclamation work to be done in the region, should be carried out without disturbing the natural and historical structure. These areas require very careful field work when rock reclamation is planned due to frequent forests hiding rocks and scattered settlement structure. The rock reclamation model to be selected should be developed taking these factors into consideration.
