In this paper, Hansen model applied to Istanbul districts and increasing the distribution of the population of 3 million were calculated. Istanbul, population and income growth, the service sector, based in the city's development as a result of advances in transportation and telecommunications, the restructuring of the city, and this encourages residential, commercial and office create opportunities for investments. Land-use decision-making process is a very complex includes site selection. Estimates of population growth, starting from the development potential on the one hand, depending on the location of the settlements, and the physical, socio-economic, legal and political characteristics of the functional needs of the city overlaps with each other to create the most effective form is required. In addition, the sub-centers produced a gradual effect of the interaction and the environment as a result of a lot of alternatives for the purpose of evaluating the size of the new centers and, instead, may be decided taking into account the dimension of time. Thus, the development of the whole city and the economic development of the system to provide the most effective when planned. By investing just as it is today, at certain points, and the creation of high-quality urban services bringing the speculation, raising the quality of life of city-wide, but can provide a healthy socio-economic development.

Population growth, economic development, and rural migration to urban areas have caused rapid expansion of urban centres in Ghana. One reason is that spatial planning and in particular urban planning face different social, economic and political challenges which hinder a structured and planned urban development, therefore causing urban sprawl. We hypothesise that different peri-urban patterns are driven by geographical, historical, cultural and economic discrepancies between southern and northern Ghana, and reflect the effectiveness of land use planning instruments. We tested our hypothesis by comparing patterns of urban development in two case study regions: Takoradi in southern Ghana and Bolgatanga in northern Ghana, representing an economically vibrant and a non-vibrant region, respectively. This paper provides new insights for the study sites based on a mixed-method approach. We applied an interdisciplinary approach combining expert interviews, a literature review, and a bi-temporal change analysis based on remote sensing/geo-information systems. We assigned confidence levels of the findings from the respective methods based on their plausibility and sensitivity. Expert opinion indicated that land use planning fails due to the lack of implementation of legal regulations, to the customary land tenure and lack of participation of local citizens in the planning process. The remote sensing analysis revealed that urban development was stronger in Takoradi (7.1% increase between 2007 and 2013) than in Bolgatanga (1.1% increase between 2007 and 2013). Urban development patterns differ with a dominance of small-scale scattered settlement units (SUs) in Bolgatanga and a mixture of small- and large-scale SUs in Takoradi. Besides population growth, markets and industry are identified as major drivers of urban development in the Takoradi area (large SUs) and customary land tenure in the Bolgatanga area (small ...

Land, a natural and renewable resource, is a gift of nature. Land may be defined as "a sum total of the natural resources over which the possession of the earth's surface gives control". The concept covers the earth's surface, building sites, farm soil, growing forest, mineral deposits and water resources. Land supplies all the basic needs of the people. It is the basis for the production of food and raw materials; it is also the source of income, employment, economic security and power. Land which is single to all human kinds is, however a distinctly a limited resources. The land use pattern is an important theme in all aspects towards environment. Land use pattern is conditioned by the association of two sets of factors: Firstly, a physical factor such as geology, relief features, climate, soil and vegetation which limit the use capabilities of land. Secondly, cultural factors which include both economic and institution. Land use thus deals with the problems involved in conversion of land from one major use of another general use. The pattern of land use of a country at any particular time is determined by the physical, economic and institutional framework taken together. The time, methods and intensity of land use together with large number of environmental factors determined the potentials as well as long term sustainability of land productivity. Traditionally, Ao-Nagas do Jhumming, hunting and trapping of wild animals for domestic use, medicinal values and festival purposes. This trend still continues despite the Government enacting Wildlife Protection Act. At present some Village Councils and NGOs has initiated conservation of wildlife in their village jurisdiction. Longkhum village has rich and varied heritages of biodiversity owing to its varying physiographic, geo-climatic conditions and large forest cover. However, in recent times due to agriculture, logging, expansion of settlement areas, random hunting and trapping, and unplanned project and promises in the name of development has affected the land leading to degradation of environment. This study aims to find conservative measures and suggestions to minimize the adverse effect on environment by the activities of the people in the village so that the balance between nature anddevelopment remains stable.
