Thus, the concept of "campus" emerged and universities began to be established in large areas in areas open to development, based on certain systems. Campus settlements, which have the characteristics of a city in themselves and therefore have a structure that changes and develops over time, are expected to serve for many years, and in this sense, they should be planned in a way that can meet their development and growth needs.

As a result, it is possible to say that both the chosen settlement system and the adopted design criteria can directly or indirectly affect the physical growth and development opportunities on campus campuses, starting from the pre-planning stage. It is important for universities, which are expected to serve in the long term and are important for the development of the society, to accurately determine the physical growth and development opportunities in the campuses and to support these determinations with the appropriate settlement system and design criteria, so that they can fulfill these responsibilities in favor of the society for a long time.
