İMPROVİNG URBAN ECOSYSTEMS USING INFORMATİON AND COMMUNİCATİON TECHNOLOGİES

Since the industrial revolution, our world was involved into many important challenges, as the spontaneous industrialization and urbanization processes. It’s our obligation to work on environmental challenges caused by these unplanned changes. These processes are able to produce in a very short period a decuple growth of the population in different cities. At the same time these processes may cause the depopulation of other cities. Considering these transformations, recently the world has been interested on smart urban ecosystems, as an important part of the human activity. The community involvement and the urban transportation are the permanent inducements of a sustainable and valuable development in urban ecosystems. We are indispensably obligated to look for new ways and methods for environmental solutions that deeply help the community. This paper is going to be a mixed production of the Physical Geography and the Information and Communication Technologies, Web-based GSI especially. These new methods aid the public participatory on environmental decision making.
