Alanya is a touristic district affiliated to Antalya province in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Located in the southern coasts of Turkey, Alanya lies on an area of 1,598.51 km2 and has a population (according to the population census of 2011) of 248.286 (the number is 103.673 in the district center).
With respect to its strategic location, it is shaped like a small peninsula at the coastal regions of the Mediterranean Sea. Toros Mountains lie in the north of it. Among the symbols of the city today, the Red Tower (Kızıl Kule), the shipyard (tersane) and Alanya Tower were built in that period.
Characteristics of the Mediterranean climate are seen in the region. Winters are mild and summers are hot. The region has a share of nine percent in terms of tourism in Turkey, while the share for foreign nationals buying property in Turkey is thirty percent. Tourism started developing particularly after the 1958s and became the most effective line of work in the district, thus leading to an increase in the population of the region. Thanks to its warm climate, the area is suitable for numerous sports activities and cultural events.
The economy of the city is completely dependent on agriculture and tourism. The service sector is well-developed. Almost all the services and the produced goods are consumed by the touristic hotels in the vicinity.
Alanya holds a significant share in the country’s tourism. With the tourism boost that started in 1980s, the city has taken its current form. A wide variety and range of touristic facilities, from the ones with 1.000-person capacity to the massive ones with 3.500-person capacity, are now available in the district, where there apart hotels in the first place.
In 1996, Professor Alfredo Moscardini from Sunderland University, visited Alanya to study the possibility of founding a new university in the town. The preliminary report was published in local media sources.

It was decided by the Reisoğlu Foundation to establish a Reisoğlu Law Faculty in Alanya depending on Akdeniz Unities. In 1992-1993, an architectural project of 18 thousand square meters was prepared by the Faculty of Architecture of Odtü. However, the name of the faculty was changed to the Faculty of Law of Alanya in 1996 and in 2002 the term "Alanya" was abolished. Then the Law School opened in Antalya. A business faculty was also established in Alanya.
Akdeniz University currently has 3 faculties (Business Administration, Engineering and Education) and a vocational high school (ALTSO-MYO) in Alanya. The initiative of the University of the Mediterranean to establish a medical school in the province and the decisions of the relevant Senate and YÖK were a major step in the field of education.

This was the result of the intensive efforts of Vice President Bulent Arinc, the Deputy of Antalya Mevlüt Cavusoglu, the former governor of Alanya Hulusi Doğan, the Mayor Hasan Sipahioğlu and other administrators.
After the law was published, the Board of Trustees began to work on the preparation of the Master Regulation, which is the constitution for the foundation of universities.
