Abstract

Urbanization is a significant phenomenon that necessitates balancing environmental sustainability, social equity, and economic development. Sustainable urbanization refers to the effort to manage the growth of cities in accordance with environmental, economic, and social sustainability principles. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the literature by evaluating the performance of sustainable urbanization in Turkey through socio-economic and environmental variables.
Using bibliometric analysis, publications in the Web of Science database up to May 2024 were examined, and prominent research trends, key topics, and influential publications in the literature on sustainable urbanization were identified. The findings indicate an increasing interest and diversification of studies in the field of sustainable urbanization in recent years. Notably, China and the USA have been leading in this area, with Turkey also making significant contributions.
Considering the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of sustainable urbanization, it is concluded that cities should adopt holistic and integrated approaches in their planning and management processes. Green buildings, sustainable transportation systems, and effective waste management are crucial components of sustainable urbanization, and investments in these areas enhance urban life quality. The results of the study suggest that significant steps can be taken towards sustainable urbanization in Turkey, making cities more livable, environmentally friendly, and economically sustainable.

Sürdürülebilir Kentleşme Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Kentleşme, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik, sosyal eşitlik ve ekonomik gelişim arasında denge kurulmasını zorunlu hale getiren önemli bir olgudur. Sürdürülebilir kentleşme, şehirlerin büyümesini çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal sürdürülebilirlik ilkelerine uygun şekilde yönetme çabasını ifade eder. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki sürdürülebilir kentleşme performansını sosyo-ekonomik ve çevresel değişkenler üzerinden değerlendirerek literatüre katkı sağlamaktır.
Bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi kullanılarak, 2024 yılı Mayıs ayına kadar Web of Science veri tabanında yapılan yayınlar incelenmiş ve sürdürülebilir kentleşme literatüründe öne çıkan araştırma eğilimleri, anahtar konular ve etkili yayınlar belirlenmiştir. Bulgular, son yıllarda sürdürülebilir kentleşme alanında artan bir ilgi olduğunu ve çalışmaların çeşitlendiğini göstermektedir. Özellikle Çin ve ABD'nin bu alanda öne çıktığı, Türkiye'nin de önemli katkılar sağladığı belirlenmiştir.
Sürdürülebilir kentleşmenin çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal boyutları dikkate alındığında, şehirlerin planlama ve yönetim süreçlerinde bütüncül ve entegre yaklaşımlar benimsemesi gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Yeşil binalar, sürdürülebilir ulaşım sistemleri ve etkili atık yönetimi gibi uygulamalar, sürdürülebilir kentleşmenin önemli bileşenleri olup, bu alanlarda yapılan yatırımlar kentsel yaşam kalitesini artırmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçları, Türkiye'de sürdürülebilir kentleşme konusunda önemli adımlar atılabileceğini ve şehirlerin daha yaşanabilir, çevre dostu ve ekonomik olarak sürdürülebilir hale getirilebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır.
