Abstract
Cities have begun to resemble one another more and more due to forces driven by globalisation. Ignoring cultural heritage has led to the dissolution of space identity along with the economic differences reflected therein, as well as to the increase of social polarisation and socio-psychological problems. The loss of elements identifed with cultural heritage or negative changes in the quality of these elements can result in the depletion of the quality of urban life. Historical sites create a sense of continuity, linking the past with the future. This paper addresses the spatial pattern around the ancient amphitheater in the Ciftepinarlar neighbourhood of the Konuralp District in Duzce Province, Turkey. The amphitheater has been declared a frst-degree archaeological site and its surrounding buildings are offcially registered. The purpose of the study was to ascertain the quality of the settlement pattern in the defned 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 neighbourhood. © 2018 Scibulcom Ltd.
