Abstract

Urban population has been increasing and it is estimated to reach 66% of the total population by 2050. The increase in urban population causes various problems in social and economic dimensions, particularly in environmental dimension. Those problems have negative impacts on urban sustainability. Therefore, urban sustainability has gained increasing attention from local administrators, urban planners, and scientific communities throughout the World. For sustainable cities, policies need to be determined and transformed into actions. A quantifiable approach is necessary to fulfill the purpose of urban sustainability. In this context, this study aims to define a proposal for the evaluation of sustainability indicators that will be effective in the sustainable development of cities.

Özet

Kent nüfusu artmakta ve 2050 yılına kadar toplam nüfusun %66'sına ulaşacağı tahmin edilmektedir (UN, 2014:1). Artan kentsel nüfus, çevresel boyut başta olmak üzere, sosyal ve ekonomik boyutlarda çeşitli sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Bu sorunlar kentsel sürdürülebilirliği olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle, kentsel sürdürülebilirlik, tüm dünyadaki yerel yöneticiler, şehir plancıları ve araştırmacılar tarafından daha fazla ilgi görmektedir. Sürdürülebilir kentler için politikaların belirlenmesi ve eyleme dönüştürülmesi gereği oluşmaktadır. Kentsel sürdürülebilirlik amacını gerçekleştirecek politikaların belirlenmesi için nicel bir yaklaşım gereklidir. Bu noktada sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri önemli bir araç olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu kapsamda bu çalışma, kentlerin sürdürülebilir gelişiminde etkili olacak sürdürülebilirlik göstergelerinin değerlendirilmesi için öneri bir yöntem tanımlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
