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.
