Abstract :
Today, developments in production systems and technologies, communication and transportation affect urban land use, housing areas, open and green areas, and historical cultural areas. Within this framework, problems such as the rapid growth of cities, the lack of adequate housing provision, the increase in unhealthy and unsafe environments and the lack of quality of life increase the interest in urban sustainability. The neighborhood unit, which has been in the planning practices since the 20th century and is accepted as the most appropriate unit for the measurement of sustainability in the urban area, has come to the fore again. This study aims to evaluate the sustainable neighborhood components periodically over the related literature. Firstly, the concept of sustainable neighborhood was scanned in the Scopus database and the sustainability components were evaluated based on structure, building group and settlement on several articles in the related literature. In addition, the differences in approaches in developed and developing countries were examined on a periodic basis. The evaluation results show that environmental and planning design indicators come to the forefront and social, economic and institutional indicators find less place. In addition, technology and design dimension are more important indicators for sustainability. Although interest in social sustainability has increased slightly, it seems that this has not been achieved, especially with the effect of market forces. In the future, a balanced and holistic approach is needed between environmental, social and economic sustainability.
