Abstract :
The need for improved living conditions of humankind has originated interactive relations with their surroundings in all respects. Examination of first settlement regions indicated compatibility between natural conditions and organised environment. As a consequence destructive effects of natural disasters and living conditions has been kept at minimum levels. Emerged factors such as increased rate of population, industrialisation and rapid urbanisation have eliminated this compatibility of nature and environment in planning and design process. Followed by environments that create irreversible damage in nature and biodiversity along with further vulnerability to natural disasters. In order to prevent these side effects and lead a sustainable approach for enhanced environments the search for alternate solutions has increased. One of the most promising solution amongst these is the concept of geodesign that has been practiced throughout the presence of mankind. Geodesign approach that has been neglected rapidly throughout 19th and 20th centuries, have been brought up into consideration by pioneers of GIS at 21th century to improve surroundings for living. This study explores progress of geodesign upto this day within the frame of GIS s active role in relation with geodesign along with its recent arousal.
