Öğe Morphological analysis of frontier villages in Cyprus(Univ Politecnica Valencia, 2018) Edgu, Erincik Nevter; Cömert, Zafer; Özgece, NezireBorders may be built for security reasons however; they also demarcate administrative, economic, socio-cultural, ethnic or religious divergence. Borders change the destinies of the societies at both sides because they affect the process of urban development and delimit the economic and socio-cultural interactions. Cyprus has been experiencing an interrupted continuity along the border, i.e. green line, under the rule of UN that divides north from the south. In this regard, the aim of the study is to figure out how the de facto borders affect the configuration of villages upon their existing position. As a part of an ongoing research which investigates all eleven frontier villages and towns located along the border line, this paper only focuses on the morphological and syntactic comparison of four frontier villages. Within this context, initial exploration is about the village morphologies by means of Morphological Regions based on the evolutionary insights of Conzen (2004) and Whitehand (2009). Additionally, considering shifted centrality and transformed social gathering spaces, research discusses the applicability of the comparative analyses of syntactic and morphological methods in order to reveal the characteristics of the frontier villages. The preliminary findings of the research indicate that edge villages located along the green line have a controlled spatial development with dead ends and loop layouts, where the spatial configuration presents an introverted structure. On the other hand, villages divided by the green line, presents a relatively integrated spatial structure developed on both sides of the border, maintaining traditional centrality along with emphasizing forced territoriality.Öğe Method for Assessment of the Historical Urban Landscape(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Ayşegül, Kaya TanrıverdiThe city in Turkey now known as Konuralp was important during the Ottoman period, and is the site of the antique city of Prusias ad Hypium, with a rich historical past in the Hellenistic period. At present, the cultural landscape district of the ancient residential area of Prusias ad Hypium is threatened by growth of the university, and industrial plants are replacing surrounding farmlands. This study aimed to evaluate the natural and cultural resources of Konuralp, to assess the vulnerability of its urban legacy under socio-economic pressures, and to integrate urban heritage values using the historical urban landscape approach. For this study, urban conservation was regarded as the tool for the management of change by integrating it into the broader planning framework. This research examined the city's historical urban landscape by using survey methods and remote sensing to assess the landscape character exchange between the years 1982 and 2015.

The amphitheater has been declared a first-degree archeological site and its surrounding buildings are officially registered. The purpose of the study was to ascertain the quality of the settlement pattern in the defined area via an analysis based on the scale of the streets and residences. Furthermore, GIS was used to detect the urban pattern of the area under evaluation. The ultimate aim was to assess the vulnerability of the historical site and to develop a relevant proposal for the enhancement and conservation of the neighborhood.Öğe Historic Persian caravanserais: Climatic effects and syntactic configuration(Space Syntax Laboratory, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, 2015) Mansouri, Ashkan; Edgü, Erincik; Şalgamcıoğlu, Mehmet EminAncient trading routes such as Silk Road necessitate places for short term accommodation, rest and security for caravans including travellers, traders, merchandise and pack animals. These places, which are strategically located in different regions along the trading routes throughout Asia, are called caravanserais. Caravanserais are basically composed of three different functional sections; among these sections, the common gathering area that is in the form of a courtyard is usually open and located centrally. As the location and shape of this courtyard forms the architectural typology, the other sections are the spaces reserved for guests' accommodation and service areas, which are both surrounding the common courtyard area. This paper deals with caravanserais built in different regions of Persia (ancient Iran) during the significant period between 17t and 19 centuries. Within this period, during the first half of the 17t century most of caravanserais, bridges, bazaars and roads were built and restored in order to upgrade the Silk Road to improve the commercial prosperity of the Empire. However, since Persian Empire had a vast amount of land expanded from Caspian Sea to Persian Gulf, it was obvious that caravanserais had to be built according to the constraints of four different climatic zones. Therefore, this paper focuses on the syntactic configuration of the above mentioned spaces and the effects of climatic aspects. The hypothesis of this paper suggests that climate affects the design of public, private and service based spaces and these differences lead to the genotypes of Persian caravanserais. Functional zones of the caravanserais strictly separate the accommodation from the service areas such as storage, cooking, bathrooms, administration and security. However, common spaces may serve both for service functions, social gatherings, trading and even shelter for pack animals. The configuration, position, size and enclosure of these spaces differ according to climate. Therefore, syntactical analyses applied to five caravanserais which are located in four different climate zones in Persia from Safavid to Qajar period, present data of depth levels, integration, circularity and compactness within these spaces. This study is not only a syntactic discussion regarding varieties of caravanserais in different climatic regions in relation to their configuration, but it also explores syntactic components such as design geometry and perceptive qualities. In this research, by focusing on relations between the three main components of caravanserai space and the climatic parameters we determined that technical development in forms of structural composition and the effects of climate change morphology and spatial quality.Öğe Exploring children's perceptions and experiences of outdoor spaces(Space Syntax Laboratory, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, 2015) Özgece, Nezire; Edgü, Erincik; Taluğ, MerayAll people employ their senses in order to locate themselves in their environment; however the perception of space is not common to everyone and differs related to various factors. Considering these differences in perception and the factors affecting it, it should be stated that children's perceptions and experiences of spaces are different from adults'. Unless the places are created by them to play, children perceive and experience environments that are created by adults. Thus, spaces that children experience are generally based on adult's logic of design configuration. As children are the active participants of their home and school environments, the present study focuses on a pilot study which is conducted at a primary school with the 5th year students. Therefore, the aim is to discover children's landmark recognition and preferences of outdoor spaces in terms of their home-school routes, playing areas and reveal the underlying syntactic structures of the spaces as well. Considering the main structure of the research which is based on the comparison between children's responses to a questionnaire and syntactic properties of the significant places, the methodology is organised as two phases including the individual interviews with students and syntactic analyses of the spaces identified and preferred by children. The first phase of the methodology is based on the examination of children's perceptions and uses of outdoor spaces with the help of a questionnaire where students answer the questions and draw their route from home to school. In this phase, students are also asked to comment on the photographs taken from the predetermined city landmarks. For the second phase, spaces identified by children are analysed due to the syntactic properties based on various calculations. The results of the research emphasise that the edges of the city and especially the city walls seem to affect the spatial perceptions of children. Although children mostly prefer to stay in the close vicinity to their home-school environment, they can identify significant city landmarks. The outcomes of the research also indicate that there's a difference between the female and male students considering the preferences of playing areas.
