Cities, with their ancient history, are living formations that develop and change constantly. Although there are several economical, safety and transportation reasons for their foundation purposes and for the locations where cities founded, geographical conditions also significantly affect these reasons. One of the most important elements determining the area where the cities have been founded is the water. This article examined how the geographical water resources affect the humankind settlements and the transportation network. The relationships, similarities and differences between transport and water networks were revealed using fractal analysis method. The effect of water on the location of living areas was also determined by using the bufferzone method. Swot analysis was made for evaluated to affects of the roads on ecosystem and landscape. The study was carried out on the base of 81 provinces in Turkey. The roads in the country that was netted with dense transportation networks were passed through considering the geographic elements. Rivers, lakes and seas are important factors in determining the transit routes of the roads. The water elements use the routes for which geographic conditions are the most suitable and this serves as a guide for the transport network. Additionally, provincial and district centers have also been established to be particularly close to the water element due to its landscape and economic factors, the appropriate geographic and climatic conditions.

具有悠久历史的城市是不断发展和变化的生活形态。尽管出于基础目的和城市设立地点的原因，有很多经济，安全和运输方面的原因，但地理条件也极大地影响了这些原因。决定城市建立地点的最重要因素之一是水。本文研究了地理水资源如何影响人类住区和运输网络。利用分形分析方法揭示了交通网络与水网络之间的关系，异同。还通过使用缓冲区方法确定了水对居住区位置的影响。进行了Swot分析，以评估道路对生态系统和景观的影响。该研究是在土耳其的81个省的基础上进行的。考虑到地理因素，穿越了密集交通网络的该国道路。河流，湖泊和海洋是决定道路过境路线的重要因素。水元素使用的地理条件最适合的路线，这可以作为运输网络的指南。此外，由于其景观和经济因素，适当的地理和气候条件，还建立了省级和地区中心，使其特别靠近水域。湖泊和海洋是确定道路过境路线的重要因素。水元素使用的地理条件最适合的路线，这可以作为运输网络的指南。此外，由于其景观和经济因素，适当的地理和气候条件，还建立了省级和地区中心，使其特别靠近水域。湖泊和海洋是确定道路过境路线的重要因素。水元素使用的地理条件最适合的路线，这可以作为运输网络的指南。此外，由于其景观和经济因素，适当的地理和气候条件，还建立了省级和地区中心，使其特别靠近水域。
