Urbanization is a process increasing progressively worldwide. However, with the urbanization process, concerns have been raising regarding environmental, ecological, and social structure. The speed and intensity of urbanization has effects on changing of land use pattern. Therefore, to be able to understand changing processes and predict change rate, density, and changing pathways in urban area, it is crucial to investigate effects causing changes in land-use pattern. Especially, these factors should be determined for the estimation and modelling of future trends of urban land use changes and its ecological impacts. Because of their complexity and interactions, these factors should be analyzed systematically. Urban system has rather complex structure. Rapid developments in modelling techniques thanks to Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and particularly new mathematical methods provide to obtain and analyze of data in various spatio-temporal scales, understand a complex system or a phenomenon, and measure or show the complexity. Urban modelling techniques may allow to measure more realistic measurements of propagation area of a complex urban system/territorial size, the physical development stages and size of each stage. Besides, these techniques will open new horizons on spatial analyses and contribute to make projections determining in spatial development areas.Keywords: Urbanization, urban growth system, complex urban systems, modeling techniques, urban models.
