İklim Göçünün Şehirleşme Dinamikleri ÜZerindeki Uzun Dönemli Etkileri

Climate change has emerged as a crisis that profoundly impacts not only environmental balances bu... more Climate change has emerged as a crisis that profoundly impacts not only environmental balances but also social, economic, and spatial structures in today's world. In this context, forced migration driven by climate change creates significant and long-term effects on both the migrating communities and the urbanization dynamics of the regions they relocate to. Direct consequences of climate change, such as natural disasters, rising temperatures, diminishing water resources, agricultural production losses, and rising sea levels, force millions of people to leave their habitats. In urban areas receiving these migrants, this phenomenon increases the demand for urban infrastructure, complicates resource management, and challenges social cohesion processes. This study examines the long-term effects of climate change-induced migration on urban dynamics through an interdisciplinary perspective. Climate migration introduces new dynamics in various areas, including urban settlement patterns, infrastructure requirements, housing demand, social cohesion, reorganization of economic activities, and the sustainability of public services. The research utilizes open datasets from international organizations such as the World Bank and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) regarding climate migration. These datasets serve as fundamental resources for understanding the demographic characteristics of migrating populations, their settlement preferences, and their impacts on the economic and social structures of the host regions. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the effects of climate change-driven migration on urban spaces and to investigate how these effects lead to transformations in the physical, economic, and social structures of cities in the long term. Accordingly, the study addresses the following questions: How does climate migration exert pressure on urban infrastructure and resources? To what extent can migrants access housing, transportation, and healthcare services? What barriers are encountered in social cohesion processes, and how can policies be developed to overcome these challenges? Supported by spatial analysis methods, this study provides a detailed examination of settlement patterns of migrant populations and their impacts on the infrastructure and services of host cities. The findings offer recommendations for managing urbanization processes shaped by climate migration in a sustainable manner. In this context, the study serves as a significant guide in terms of urban planning, migration management, and social policies.
