Abstract: Land conflicts with mining areas can occur frequently. The fact that these conflicts occur in metropolitan cities brings some sensitive problems and the necessity to make arrangements in the sustainable solution of these problems. For example, the need for aggregates is higher in metropolitan cities than in other cities. In addition, production from aggregate reserves in metropolitan cities requires more precise planning. In recent years, as a result of the increasing population in Istanbul in Turkey, housing has increased and thus the boundaries of the municipal plans have expanded. As a result, aggregate production sites and settlements have been intertwined when the places that were not planned as settlements in the development plan before were also within the boundaries of the development plan. This necessitates sustainable planning and management of aggregate resources in the nearby areas that meet the needs of the city within the borders of Istanbul. In this framework, the first mining zone application in Turkey was made for aggregate mines in Cebeci, Istanbul. This regulation can be applied not only for these aggregate mining zone in Istanbul but also for some mineral groups including coal mines in the future.
