This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Turkey statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Turkey statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Turkey-specific metadata information.
| Target name | By 2030, enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries |
|---|---|
| Indicator name | Ratio of land consumption rate to population growth rate |
| Global / Proxy indicator | Global indicator |
| Description of indicator |
Although land consumption conceptually implies a broader scope, for this indicator: the percentage of newly developed (consumed) total urban land available will be used as a measure of the land consumption rate. The other items included in the conceptual framework: (b) the absolute size of land used by agriculture, forestry or other economic activities; and (c) excessive consumption of land used for agriculture and forestry, are not included in the formula.
Land Use Efficiency (LUE), measures how efficiently cities utilize land, which is measured as a ratio of the rate at which cities spatially consume land against the rate at which their populations grow. |
| Unit | (Number) |
| Available disaggregation | Province level |
| Calculation |
Land Use Efficiency (LUE) = Land consumption rate / Population growth rate
Land consumption rate= LN (Total area of the urban extent t+n / Total area of the urban extent t ) / y Population growth rate = LN (Total population within the urban extent t+n / Total population within the urban extent t ) / y LN = the natural logarithm value y = the number of years between the two measurement periods |
| Comparability | Comparable over time. Produced in full compliance with global metadata. |
