Abstract :This study examined the suburbanization, which emerged as a result of rapid urbanization around Antakya, İskenderun-Dörtyol from the aspects of its development, connections to the city, population movements, urban function and dispersion of services and settlement morphology. It was found in the study that suburbs emerged due to the factors such as population growth, settlement density and dispersion of fields of activity towards industry and general services. Though administratively separate, they are functionally dependent on counties of Antakya, İskenderun-Dörtyol. Although they take on some functions of the counties as a general consequence of the rapid growth of settlements, they also have features of undeveloped functional land use. As a natural consequence of all this, planning decisions which do not correspond to complex relationships between the settlements lie under urban problems. Therefore, given that the urban development is in progress, it could be suggested that analyzing the relationships between the settlements is of vital importance in terms of potential planning for urban areas.Keywords : Kentleşme, Suburbanizasyon, Antakya, İskenderun-Dörtyol
