Rapid growth of cities leads to social and environmental problems. Transportation problems,security problem, recreation area deficiencies, pollution are some of these. These problems reduce the qualityof life and environment in cities. In other words, it reduces urban livability. In the urban livability literaturesurveys on the subject, it is seen that, rather than the definition of urban livability, the criteria for determiningthe urban livability in any city settlement were carried out. In the literature, the concepts of livability, qualityof life and sustainability, which are more related to the concept of urban livability, are mentioned.

At this point, it isnecessary to explain what urban livability is. One of the ways to better present and analyze every day andscientific problems is to use the right concepts. It has been determined that the definition of the concept ofurban livability is not included in the domestic and foreign literature. In this study to eliminate this problem,it is aimed to create a definition by evaluating the concept of urban livability in the context of social,economic, cultural and environment. For this purpose, domestic and foreign sources have been looked at andthe most general definition can be made as follows: Urban livability, the city is largely safe, infrastructureand superstructure is in good condition, public and public transportation services are distributed in the city ina balanced, economically dynamic and environmentally harmless city in settlements; it can be explained asthe fulfillment of the different expectations of each individual.Structured Abstract: There are a number of problems encount
