Eco-City Analysis in The Framework of Sustainable Planning Case Study in Jordan

Background: Sustainability is an ever-evolving innovative concept in architecture, landscape architecture andenvironmental engineering. It is known that some countries are completely depndent on fossil fuels and theirconsumption is high, while some countries have harsh climatic conditions and need a special design suitable forenvironmental and climatic conditions to help their inhabitants adapt to their limited resources. Today, thesuccess of a design is generally associated with the awareness of environmental problems affecting the world,and a solution proposal that will raise awareness within the scope of the country and region.Materials and Methods: Jordan is one of the countries with limited resources and limited climate. Some areasof Jordan tend to have desert diversity, and some areas contain incredible natural and botanical diversity. Foryears, Jordan has been trying to implement the concept of sustainability, to protect what is left of its resourcesand to improve and develop them, and to benefit from the surrounding climate and environmental conditionswithout harming people and the environment. In this study, Jordan's location was analyzed in terms ofgeography, climate and environmental aspects, solar radiation rate, precipitation rate, population density andplant species found there. And with the analysis of all these factors, the appropriate location for the eco city wasselected.Results: As a result of the study, after using approved maps and determining the appropriate factors for the eco-city, the maps were placed in layers and the common areas with the features suitable for the eco-cities wereselected. Two regions, northeast of Jordan and southwest of Jordan, emerged as suitable regions to embrace and implement the idea of eco-friendly cities and eco-city
