Abstract

Urbanization is a phenomenon that not only contributes to the development of the country but also brings with it some problems. Sustainable urbanization is the ability of cities to grow at the economic, social, and environmental levels of the society and in a sustainable way. Turkey has been exposed to rapid urbanization in recent years and the number of people living in cities is increasing. Although studies on sustainable urbanization in Turkey are limited, no study has been found in the literature that evaluates sustainable urbanization performance over the years. Based on the aforementioned information, in this study, it is aimed to measure and evaluate the sustainable urbanization performance of Turkey between 2000 and 2019. Socio-economic and environmental variables are used in the structural equation model to measure Turkey's sustainable urbanization. Second-order confirmatory factor analysis is used to estimate the model. Based on the findings, it is observed that there has been a significant increase in environmental performance in 2016 and beyond. It is seen that environmental performance and socio-economic performance, which shows a relatively stable increase, have almost the same effect on the country’s sustainable urbanization performance.

Türkiye’de Sürdürülebilir Kentleşme: Bir Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli Uyarlaması

Abstract

Kentleşme ülkenin gelişimine katkıda bulunduğu kadar beraberinde bazı problemleri de getiren bir olgudur. Sürdürülebilir kentleşme ise kentlerin büyümelerini toplumun ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel düzeylerinde ve sürdürülebilir bir şekilde gerçekleştirebilmesidir. Türkiye son yıllarda hızlı bir kentleşmeye maruz kalmakta ve kentlerde yaşayan insan sayısı artış göstermektedir. Türkiye’de sürdürülebilir kentleşme üzerine yapılan çalışmalar sınırlı olmakla birlikte, literatürde yıllara göre sürdürülebilir kentleşme performansının değerlendirildiği bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin 2000-2019 yılları arasındaki sürdürülebilir kentleşme performansının ölçülmesi ve değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Türkiye’nin sürdürülebilir kentleşmesinin ölçülmesinde sosyo-ekonomik ve çevresel değişkenler yapısal eşitlik modelinde kullanılmaktadır. Modelin tahmin edilmesinde ise ikinci mertebeden doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, 2016 yılı ve sonrasında çevrecilik performansında ciddi bir artış kaydedildiği görülmektedir. Çevrecilik performansı ve görece daha durağan bir artış gösteren sosyo-ekonomik performansın, ülkenin sürdürülebilir kentleşme performansı üzerinde hemen hemen aynı düzeyde bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülmektedir.
