Those components are addressed in different approaches depending on historical, cultural, demographical, architectural, geographical, and economic characteristics of the urban system. History and culture usually play the main role in putting the settlements at a specific urbanism level; (i.e. highly urbanism as urban cities or lowly urbanism as rural villages). More prosperous countries can make ecological urban systems for all their urban settlements. This approach is not only easy to implement in countries that have natural resources but also the country that is in an advanced phase of development. Solar and wind energy are the main ecological energy, particularly in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries. “GCC countries endowed to build the urban ecological systems with renewable resources.” Renewable energy is one of the advantages of the geographic characteristic of those countries. Urban tissue, mainly the urban form and urban space pattern, are specified by the architectural characteristic, which affects the ecological system positively and negatively. The impact of urban tissue accrues according to the design of buildings and planning of the cities. In addition, demography is playing a key role in urban tissue and land cover, which come in the early listed components of the urban system. Therefore, this research explores in depth of the sophisticated map of the urban ecological system to come out with principles for producing an urban ecological system in GCC countries. The author used secondary, subjective and descriptive research approaches, in which a theoretical background has explored the ecology and urban system components with their addressing characteristics to find out the relationship in between them. A SWOT analysis study of resources and potentials has been carried out to explore the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of developing an urban ecological system in GCC countries. This research has ended with the main results of the analysis, which are formed as recommended actions to be taken by concerned authorities to develop a comprehensive ecological urban system.
