Abstract

Most of the cities around the world are dealing with different kinds of the problems such as social, environmental, economic and others. However, for many years, urban planners have attempted to find solutions that fit within the context and have put them into practice in order to shape the form of a city accordingly. One of the controversial problems which most of the developing and developed countries deal with it is urban sprawl, which affects everything and everyone in different scales. For last three decades, even in case of T.R.N. Cyprus, urban sprawl has become inevitable; urban sprawl is recognizable, sprawl construction becomes a profitable business for construction, real-estate, and others involved in this business.

In T.R.N. Cyprus urban sprawl didn't promote auto-dependency. Despite urban sprawl in T.R.N. Cyprus have many repercussions, one of the important impacts which are considered in this articles are psychological impact of urban sprawl, also this article attempt to divide urban sprawl leaving condition into three phases, and promote the contemplate phase which makes sprawl inhabitants think and return to inner-city neighborhood again.

Konsekwencje suburbanizacji dla miast i stref podmiejskich w świetle literatury krajowej i zagranicznej

“…Zjawisko suburbanizacji prowadzi także do wykluczenia społecznego niektórych grup mieszkańców. Nieefektywny transport publiczny na terenach o rozproszonej zabudowie oraz brak własnego środka transportu ograniczają funkcjonowanie w społeczności zwłaszcza osób starszych, niepełnosprawnych i dzieci (Batty, Besussi, Chin 2003;Kurek, Gałka, Wójtowicz 2014;Heffner 2016;Fuladlu 2019). Zbytnie oddalenia miejsca zamieszkania od rówieśników i znajomych oraz miejsc rozrywki powoduje niezadowolenie i frustrację szczególnie wśród młodzieży (Mantey 2011;Mantey 2013;Palak 2016).…”

Monitoring Urban Sprawl Using Time-Series Data: Famagusta Region of Northern Cyprus

“…The majority of scholars agreed that sprawl is unplanned, land-consuming development that has low-density, single-use, automobile-dependent, and noncontiguous or leapfrog characteristics (Behan et al, 2008; Bhatta, 2010, p. 9; Bhatta et al, 2010; Burchell et al, 1998, pp. 6–8; Downs, 1999; Ewing, 1997, 2008; Frumkin, 2002; Fuladlu, 2019; Fuladlu et al, 2018; Gillham, 2007, p. 292; Hamidi et al, 2015; Harvey & Clark, 1965; Pendall, 1999; Sierra Club, 1998; Soule, 2006, p. 3; Torrens, 2008).…”

Examining land surface temperature and relations with the major air pollutants: A remote sensing research in case of Tehran

“…Dominantly the potential of the urban area increases the urban desire for the living of many people. Rapid urban population growth results in urban expansion and urban sprawl (Fuladlu, 2019(Fuladlu, , 2020Fuladlu, Riza, & İlkan, 2018b), and encroachment on limited agricultural and green areas leading to the destruction of green-cover. This destruction, along with population growth, causes environmental effects such as rising Land Surface Temperature (LST), UHI, and air pollution.…”
