“…Many studies which used multicriteria based site selection methods for sustainable urban development have formed with geology, elevation, slope, aspect, land cover, land use capability, land slide status, proximity to streams, proximity to highways, proximity to urban facilities like shopping centers, green areas, education and health, population density, employment intensity value, groundwater dept, restrictive soil properties, vegetation, noise level analysis, ecological structure etc. (Ouyang and Wang, 1995;Gazioğlu et al, 1997;Dai et al, 2001;Musaoğlu et al, 2002;Burak et al, 2004;Ayten et al, 2005;Yılmaz, 2005;Malczewski, 2006;Sener et al, 2006;Zong et al, 2007;Marull et al, 2007;Akbari et al, 2008;Reis et al, 2008;Zamorano et al, 2008;Ersoy ve Bulut, 2009;Moeinaddini et al, 2010;Ekmekçioglu et al, 2010;Yalçın and Batuk, 2010;Sener et al, 2010;Park et al, 2011;Vasiljevic et al, 2011;Gorsevski et al, 2012;Özşahin & Kaymaz, 2015;Gazioğlu, et al, 2016;Engin & Şengün, 2016;Karakuş & Cerit, 2017;) In this study, it was aimed to determine the most suitable new development area for Kırklareli city which does not have a planned and regular urban image despite the fact that it is a small-medium sized settlement (Gülnerman et al, 2017). Historical research was carried out primarily to learn the dynamics of the urban space within the historical development process.…”
