    The COVID-19 virus, which emerged in Wuhan, China in 2019 and became an epidemic affecting the whole world, caused some concerns and had unexpected effects on the environment, economy, health, food safety, and transportation services all over the world. In addition, positive developments have emerged in terms of air, water, soil, and climate in countries due to quarantine. What has been done and will be done during the COVID-19 period is important for both the safety of the receiving environment and society. SWOT analysis is one of the most important guiding tools in making strategic decisions with its clarity, simplicity, and structure that facilitates decision-making.
