Ferruh Yıldız Many problems in today's cities; It is associated with poverty, inequality, pollution, unemployment, difficulties in accessing work, goods and services, low social cohesion, and poor quality of housing and other areas.

In our country, there are more than 200 laws, statutes and regulations that directly or indirectly concern development activities. Therefore, more than 20 organizations at the national and regional level have authority as the implementer and supervisor of so many legislations. Here is one of the main reasons why an effective planning and implementation cannot be done in our country; It is the problem of institutionalization, coordination and lack of effective supervision caused by the structure of the existing planning system between the planning and implementation levels.
In this work; In parallel with the urbanization policies in our country, the necessary planning, implementation and legal bases have been tried to be given in order to produce the housing and residential environment of sufficient quality that the population needs.

The resulting urban sociology could be anything you can think of, if you knew it was happening in cities. If you could see it, then you could see it discussed elsewhere in the literature of urban sociology." Saunders, R (2013). Social theory: Urban sociology (S. Bring Right, Trans.).

The construction of the city and the spread of cities to almost every corner of the world has been one of the most successful human creations of all time. Although it is very difficult to make a classification about the city and urban studies, which has been discussed in many ways, associated with different disciplines and has a rich literature written on it, the framework of this book covers a broad perspective from demography to the phenomenon of urbanization, from rural practices to the process of squatting, from social mobility to migration studies. and developed incrementally.
Introduction to Urban Studies aims to illuminate the dynamics of the past and present by approaching, step by step, the issues of city, dirt and migration, which still remain important and do not fall off the agenda.

Alpaslan Aliağaoğlu, Abdullah Uğur Cities directly or indirectly affect a very large part of the world's population by connecting the surrounding population to themselves, due to their central location and the variety of goods and services they produce, together with the dense population they contain. For this reason, cities have a complex and rapidly changing structure by nature. For this reason, cities are difficult to plan, and their problems are many and varied. Globalization, which has been increasing its impact since the 1990s, has made this structure of cities even more complex.
Solving the problems of the cities and ensuring a healthy city development is only possible by analyzing the cities in a multi-faceted manner. This study aims to update the city, which has a long history and a rapid change, and the urban geography issues that deal with it, and to contribute to the multi-faceted analysis of cities.

Cevat İnal, Ali Erdi, Ferruh Yıldız In our country, maps in different scales are produced for different purposes. These maps are used by different professionals in all kinds of projects and applications based on the earth. Technical staff outside the map industry should know and be able to apply the subject and simple measurement techniques in order to be able to carry out the technical principles and application projects related to the production of these maps they use. This work has been prepared in such a way that it can be a reference source for the problems related to topography of technical staff working in sectors such as construction, architecture, city and regional planning, geology, mining, environment and agriculture, especially outside the mapping sector. In addition, the main issues of the map-cadastre sector related to topographic measurements are also included in the work.
