In this context, consistency of existing urbanization dynamics and ecological system is questioned </p> <p>through resilience perspective in order to determine the future economic, social and ecological risks for Erzurum. </p> <p>Thus, to cover all these three areas, indicators such as the changes in employment rate, income and main economic </p> <p>activities; changing population, education and migration status, dependency ratios and welfare; changing land use </p> <p>characteristics in historical process are used. The findings show that urbanization policy and practices, economic </p> <p>situation and social structure in Erzurum are not resilient against the changes in the system and sometimes they </p> <p>are the reasons of ecologic, economic and social vulnerabilities. A new planning approach should immediately be </p> <p>developed with the resilience perspective. Otherwise, the city will be faced with immense risks in the near future, </p> <p>especially in terms of livability. </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Iğdır Üniversitesi}
