A tense situation has developed on Riva Beach in the Beykoz district of Istanbul due to the long-term unauthorized parking of caravans. Local residents complain about noise and environmental pollution, as well as caravans blocking the coastal road, especially on weekends. Riva neighborhood head Mevlüt Eren stated that caravans are set up on land partly owned by the Istanbul Regional Directorate of Forestry and partly by private owners, without any permits. He noted that the lack of toilets and washbasins leads vacationers to use the forest for natural needs and light fires, creating a fire hazard in the pine forest. One caravan resident, Nurhan Koç, said she has been living there for about 15 months, considers the area private property, and sees no problem, emphasizing her right to freedom and that she causes no harm.
