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.

It is the first practice in the world to force mining companies to unite. This envisaged regulation will affect the mining companies in terms of license and investment security through the merger of the mining companies/establishment of new companies and the determination criteria of the mineral reserve amounts that will be effective in determining the company partnership shares. In 2018, using the “SurveyMonkey” program, companies were asked questions about these effects of mining zones to mining companies. Considering the answers received, the problems that may arise in the implementation of the mining zone regulation were stated and suggestions for solutions were brought to these problems.

与矿区的土地冲突经常发生。这些冲突在大城市中发生，这一事实带来了一些敏感的问题，并有必要为可持续解决这些问题作出安排。例如，大都市城市对骨料的需求高于其他城市。此外，大城市总储量的生产需要更精确的计划。近年来，由于土耳其伊斯坦布尔人口的增加，住房增加了，因此市政计划的范围也扩大了。结果，当以前在开发计划中未被计划为定居点的地方也在开发计划的范围内时，总的生产场所和定居点就交织在一起了。这就需要对附近地区的可持续资源进行可持续的规划和管理，以满足伊斯坦布尔边界内城市的需求。在此框架下，土耳其在伊斯坦布尔Cebeci的骨料矿首次应用了矿区。这项规定不仅适用于伊斯坦布尔的这些总矿区，而且将来还适用于包括煤矿在内的某些矿产群。

这是世界上第一个迫使矿业公司联合起来的做法。通过采矿公司的合并/新公司的设立以及确定公司合伙股份有效的矿产储量的确定标准，该设想的法规将在许可证和投资安全方面影响采矿公司。在2018年，通过“ SurveyMonkey”计划，公司被问及有关采矿区对采矿公司的这些影响的问题。考虑到收到的答复，陈述了在实施矿区法规时可能出现的问题，并提出了解决这些问题的建议。
