Description

Abstract. It is critical to develop urban layers for analysis sustainable urban development possibilities within planning process. Kyrenia Region has many physical, environmental or economic issues that may danger the growth possibilities in sustainable manner. From this point, this study uses different spatial layers such as slope, distance to roads, distance to central zone, vegetation, soil productivity, environmental protection zones, distance to open/green space, distance to education for supporting sustainable urban growth policies and define suitable areas for urban development within this perspective. The study tries to convert sustainable urban growth policies such as; compact growth, environmental protection, equal accessibility to basic services; into spatial layers and establish proper framework for multi criteria evaluation in Kyrenia Region within using geographical information systems. It shows suitability values for Kyrenia region and constraints zones at final section. It clearly presents the suitable areas for the sustainable urbanization and also unsuitable or risky areas for reducing the possible disasters and may happen in the future.

الملخص: من الأهمية بمكان تطوير طبقات حضرية لتحليل إمكانيات التنمية الحضرية المستدامة ضمن عملية التخطيط. تعاني منطقة كيرينيا من العديد من المشكلات المادية أو البيئية أو الاقتصادية التي قد تعرض إمكانيات النمو للخطر بطريقة مستدامة. من هذه النقطة، تستخدم هذه الدراسة طبقات مكانية مختلفة مثل المنحدر، والمسافة إلى الطرق، والمسافة إلى المنطقة المركزية، والغطاء النباتي، وإنتاجية التربة، ومناطق حماية البيئة، والمسافة إلى المساحات المفتوحة/الخضراء، والمسافة إلى التعليم لدعم سياسات النمو الحضري المستدام وتحديد المناطق المناسبة للتنمية الحضرية ضمن هذا المنظور. تحاول الدراسة تحويل سياسات النمو الحضري المستدام مثل ؛ النمو المدمج، وحماية البيئة، والمساواة في الوصول إلى الخدمات الأساسية ؛ إلى طبقات مكانية وإنشاء إطار مناسب لتقييم المعايير المتعددة في منطقة كيرينيا باستخدام أنظمة المعلومات الجغرافية. يعرض قيم الملاءمة لمنطقة كيرينيا ومناطق القيود في القسم الأخير. ويعرض بوضوح المناطق المناسبة للتحضر المستدام وكذلك المناطق غير المناسبة أو المحفوفة بالمخاطر للحد من الكوارث المحتملة وقد تحدث في المستقبل.

Abstract. It is critical to develop urban layers for analysis sustainable urban development possibilities within planning process. La région de Kyrenia a beaucoup de problèmes physiques, environnementaux ou économiques qui peuvent mettre en danger les possibilités de croissance chez les hommes durables. From this point, this study uses different spatial layers such as slope, distance to roads, distance to central zone, vegetation, soil productivity, environmental protection zones, distance to open/green space, distance to education for supporting sustainable urban growth policies and define suitable areas for urban development within this perspective. The study tries to convert sustainable urban growth policies such as ; compact growth, environmental protection, equal accessibility to basic services ; into spatial layers and establish proper framework for multi criteria evaluation in Kyrenia Region within using geographical information systems. It shows suitability values for Kyrenia region and constraints zones at final section. Il présente clairement les zones appropriées pour l'urbanisation durable et donc les zones non viables ou à risque pour réduire les catastrophes possibles et peut se produire dans l'avenir.
