The study area was the Marmara Region, one of the most densely populated and ecologically diverse areas in Turkey. Using CORINE land cover data for 2006, 2012, and 2018, the study utilized multiple correspondence analyses and cluster analyses, to analyze land cover changes. The resulting maps, visualized in GIS, revealed the rapid urban transformation of the regional structure, formerly comprised of four distinct areas, into a more complex structure, in which densification and sprawl occur simultaneously. Our findings demonstrated a dissonance between the spatial dynamics of the Marmara Region during the study period, and the capacity and scope of the simultaneously initiated regional policies and mega-projects. This uncoordinated approach has endangered the region’s sustainable development. The paper, therefore, discusses the importance of land use planning and transboundary collaboration Citation: Genel, Ö.A.; Guan, C. for sustainable regional development.

  • From Urban to Regional Transformation: Rethinking Marmaray
    Sustainable Development and Planning VII 95 From urban to regional transformation: rethinking Marmaray Ö. Altınkaya Genel Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USA Abstract The urban development of Istanbul within the course of the 20th Century contested its governmental borders and forced the governmental institutions to generate policies, plans and new governmental bodies. The troubled history of Istanbul’s urban expansion in relation to its administrative borders points to a more problematic relationship with the designation of Istanbul’s metropolitan area. The monocentric metropolitan approach fails to comprehend the complexity of the multi-scalar (inter-regional, intra-regional and supra national) hinterland relations of the polycentric urban agglomeration around Istanbul. This paper will draw attention to the regional formation around Istanbul; thereby testing the applicability of “region” as a more comprehensive model to understand the urban development of Istanbul as a conurbation that surrounds the Marmara Sea. While Istanbul becomes the Marmara Region, this paper will discuss the instrumentality and impact of the Marmaray project in the making of the region. The paper will first evaluate the urban theories on metropolitan models and regions. It will then analyze the impact of the Marmaray project while benefiting from a multi-scalar methodology. The contemporary multi-nodal urban region around the Marmara Sea will be analyzed in three primary formations: the existing urban centers of Istanbul, the peripheral nodes of Istanbul and the other urban centers around the Marmara Sea. The paper will end with a discussion on the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration between policy makers, governmental and non- governmental agencies to lay the foundations of a sustainable development strategy in the Marmara Region.

  • Urbanization in Gebze and Its Effects on Health Indicators
    Kocaeli Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi (10) 2005 / 2 : 150-166 Urbanization in Gebze and Its Effects on Health Indicators Hüseyin Ukuşlu* Abstract: This article deals with urbanization process in Gebze and its effects on health indicators. For this aim, in the introduction the various definitions of urbani- zation will be given and the urbanization fact in Turkey will be examined briefly. A photograph of urbanization process in Gebze will be taked in the second part. In the third part, the system of Healthcare in Turkey will be mentioned and whether there is interaction between health and urbanization will be dwelled upon. Key Words: Urbanization, Rapid Urbanization, Immigration, Population, and Health Indicators 1. Introduction Urbanization in the narrow meaning, reflects the characteristics of demographic di- mension of urbanization, expresses an increase in the number of cities and in the population living in the cities. Urban population increases by migration and as a re- sult of the decrease in the difference between birth and death. Since fertility tends to decrease in the cities of developing countries, the migration is the major cause of ur- ban population growth (Keleş, 2000: 19). In other words, the increase in the cities doesn’t stem from rate of natural increase, which is the rate at which a population is increasing in a given year due to a surplus of births over deaths. Similar definition was made by Vlahov and Galea. To them, urbanization refers to change in size, den- sity, and heterogeneity of cities (Vlahov and Galea, 2002: 51). From these defini- tions, it can be said that urbanization is the expansion of a city or metropolitian or the rate at which the urban population increases in a given period relative to its own size at the start of that period.

    TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ KOCAELİ VALİLİĞİ ÇEVRE VE ŞEHİRCİLİK İL MÜDÜRLÜĞÜ KOCAELİ İLİ 2019 YILI ÇEVRE DURUM RAPORU HAZIRLAYAN: KOCAELİ ÇEVRE VE ŞEHİRCİLİK İL MÜDÜRLÜĞÜ KOCAELİ - 2020 2019 KOCAELİ ÇEVRE DURUM RAPORU ÖNSÖZ Dünya üzerinde insan nüfusunun hızlı bir şekilde artması, nüfus artışının beraberinde getirdiği hızlı kentleşme ve sanayileşme, beslenme ve enerji ihtiyacının artması, su gibi doğal kaynakların bilinçsiz kullanımı veya tüketilmesi, azalan ve tükenen canlı türleri, her türlü atık miktarlarındaki artış ve bunun neden olduğu çevre problemleri insanoğlunun en önemli sorunu haline gelmiştir. Dünya üzerinde bulunan yenilenemeyen doğal kaynakların tüketimi ve bu tüketimin geri dönüşümü olamayan sonuçlar doğurması insanoğlunun yeni alışkanlıklar edinmesi gerekliliğini doğurmaktadır. Bu sebepledir ki dünyada birçok ülkede olduğu gibi ülkemizde de büyüme anlayışını sürdürülebilir kalkınma esasına dayandırarak, hem çevreyi hem de gelecek kuşakların haklarını güvence altına almak amaçlanmaktadır. Doğada dünyanın varoluşundan bu yana dünyada bir ekolojik denge bulunmaktadır. İnsan çevreye verdiği zarar dolayısı ile bu dengeyi bozan başlıca etmen insandır. Ülkemizde bir yandan sürmekte olan ekonomik büyümeyi desteklemek, bir yandan da doğal ve tarihi güzellikleri ile yeryüzünde çok az yerde bulunan bir ekolojik ortama sahip olan çevremizi korumalıyız. Bu sebeple çevre kalitesini artırmak; havasıyla, suyuyla, yeşil alanlarıyla, temiz bir çevre oluşturmak temel hedefimizdir. Çevre sorunlarının kimi zaman kalkınma ve ekonomik gelişmeyle ilgisi olmasıyla birlikte, gerekli önlemler alındığı takdirde bu çok önemli olan iki konu birlikte çözülebilir, birlikte yürüyebilir. Genç bir nüfusa sahip olan ülkemizde üretimin arttırılması ve ekonomik gelişmenin önemi çok açıktır.
