Abstract
With the development of
technology, human expectations and needs have diversified and basic housing and
working area preferences have changed. In parallel with the development in
technology, the anthropogenic impact on natural resource areas is increasing
day by day with the concentration of population in certain regions. These impacts mean the pollution, depletion
and decrease in the productivity of natural resources. Anthropogenic impacts,
which were slow in the past years, have increased their acceleration due to
global climate change. For this reason, it is thought that research on the
protection of natural resources, settlement and settlement preferences in line
with the laws of nature are also important. Within the scope of the study;
natural resource areas will be categorized under five headings and the
principles of determining the settlement and population density in line with
the carrying capacity will be summarized. With the same approach; the
psychology of people living in crowded cities turning towards natural areas
will be discussed based on the findings obtained from nesting animals and
observation of living organisms. The counterparts in artificial geography will
be examined of the examples that enable getting closer to nature, complementing
each other in the natural ecosystem and ensuring sustainability in an organic
integrity and harmony. These searches in dense settlements correspond to the
concepts of ecological architecture, biomimicry and ecomimicry in the
literature. Measures that can be developed according to these concepts will be
presented at the end of the study.
