Özet

Due to the increase in the world's population, urbanization is swiftly increasing. With the increase in the urbanization, the ecological construction of the cities degenerates over time. In this context, sustainable urban planning methods that use various methods depending on the developing technology in order to preserve the ecological structure of the cities are being developed. One of these approaches is the combination of remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS), and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, to identify the settlement areas that are ecologically appropriate. It has been published in many studies that it was possible to obtain healthy results for the determination of ecologically appropriate settlement areas by collectively using these methods.
