In this study, various urban growth scenarios are simulated for Adana city by using SLEUTH urban growth model. In addition, the impact of the planned road in 2020 was investigated. The results of this study were compared with other SLEUTH model applications using a SLEUTH-specific comparison method. SLEUTH is a cellular automata simulation model developed for urban growth modelling. It is written in the C language and has an open source library. Since its first occurrence as an urban growth model, SLEUTH model has become the most popular one. It has been applied to more than 50 cities, with various scales, around the world. Superiority of the SLEUTH against other cellular automata approaches has been proven in some studies in the literature. Adana has the most fertile lands in Turkey, but it has been facing with immigration and rapid urbanization problems. Landsat imagery acquired in 1990, 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016 for Adana are used as input dataset for the SLEUTH model. Urban plan for 2016 has been obtained from official sources in order to create a basis for the scenarios. Urbanization in 2050 is estimated using three scenarios representing current trends, and green areas being fully and partially v protected. Model sensitivity has been discussed and the changes in the impervious surfaces in the area are obtained. Prediction results show that the model responds each scenario in a different manner. Between 2016 and 2050 percent urban area increase for the first scenario is 120%, for the second scenario it is 62% and for the last and most protective third scenario, 50% increase in urban areas have been predicted. Detailed urbanization analyses have been performed to find green and agricultural area losses due to urbanization in the future

Application of Sleuth model in Antalya Şevik, Özlem; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2006) In this study, an urban growth model is used to simulate the urban growth in 2025 in the Antalya Metropolitan Area. It is the fastest growing metropolis in Turkey with a population growth of 41,79‰, although Turkey’s growth is 18,28‰ for the last decade. An Urban Growth Model (SLEUTH, Version 3.0) is calibrated with cartographic data. The prediction is based on the archived data trends of the years of the 1987, 1996, and 2002 images, which are extracted from Landsat Thematic Mapper and Enhanced Thematic Map...
Analysis of urban morphology in squatter transformation areas Şahin, Mustafa Raşit; Yetişkul Şenbil, Emine; Department of City and Regional Planning (2014) The impacts and results of urban transformation has been discussed as an important issue in developing countries by different disciplines as political economy, urban design, city planning and urban sociology. Urban transformation projects in Turkey are mainly criticized since the main focus is about physical transformation. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine what quality of space is produced by urban transformation projects in Turkey. Urban transformation projects creates a different scal...
Evaluating success criteria of urban regeneration in terms of gentrification and sustainability: cases of Çukurambar and Kızılırmak neighborhoods Durmaz, Büşra; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of City and Regional Planning (2014) Urban spaces and districts have continuously needed changes, regeneration and development. In order to respond this need, urban regeneration projects are implemented in urban areas. Some of these projects can be referred as successful and some others as unsuccessful. In this thesis, a generalization was made considering urban regeneration examples from the world, and criteria of gentrification of sustainability were selected for the case study area of the research. The cases of Çukurambar and Kızılırmak Nei...
Integrated evaluation of urban regeneration projects: case study of Sulukule neighborhood in İstanbul Hokmabad Ghoshouni, Samira; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2018) The rapid increase of population and urbanization as well as many other contextual factors has led to the urban decline phenomenon. Under rubrics such as urban transformation, the urban regeneration projects have been one of the widely and frequently utilized approaches, which perpetuated within the recent decades to cope with the phenomenon, and this includes both the developed and the developing countries. However, there always have been different arguments and criticism about the aim and the outputs of t...
Growth control at the urban fringe: planning and policy instruments – the case of Ankara Sınacı, Fulya; Gedikli, Bahar; Department of City and Regional Planning (2016) Urban growth dynamics play an important role in determining the future scenarios of cities and in the shaping of the urban form. Although spatial growth can be considered as an opportunity to provide new living and working places for growing populations, it is arguable whether all decisions aimed at physical growth are compatible with local dynamics. Even if growth is needed, considering the conditions of a locality, it is not always easy to control this growth and prevent it from turning into sprawl. Previ...
