With the increasing population and growing cities, the need for proper management and planning techniques reveals for the urban centers. For providing vital functions in rapidly growing urban centers needs to decision-support systems for instant decisions. Because of this needing, the changinggs and developments of urban cities over time must be monitored for deciding about new buildings area. In this study for Bosna-Hersek district in Konya province, because of it grows rapidly, a web based geographical information system is created for monitoring urban growth. Bosna-Hersek district has a very crowded student population because of the nearest district to Selluk University. It is rapidly growing without any management. Therefore, infrastructure and roads are getting more inadequate for the needing. Satellite images and vector maps are used together for detect the changinggs over time. Addition to this data, waste storage areas, forestry areas, and air contaminated areas are mapped as a layer in ArcGIS software. By creating this geographical information system, with the support of current satellite images, new buildings, contaminated areas, and risky areas can be determined. With population and region status information, needs of new roads and new settlement areas can be determined with the support of satellite images. For the purpose of getting the view of current satellite images Google MAP API used to integrate vector maps with satellite images. ArcGIS and GeoServer softwares are used for creating system for the most rapidly growing district of Konya, Bosna-Hersek.
