Examining the urban ıdentity of Akçaabat
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the elements of urban identity and the effects of urban changes on these elements in the case of Akçaabat City, Turkey. Literature and field studies were conducted. In the field study, the urban identity of the city was examined by the structural analysis and the survey. It has been determined that the city has historically important urban gathering spaces and traditional residential areas lost its ability to reflect the function and city identity over time and new areas reflecting the city identity have been formed. The factors that caused the change of the characteristics of these areas have been identified as natural or man-made interventions since the 1980s. The survey performed indicated the fact that the new generation could not determine the identity elements of the city very well. The results revealed that the city underwent structural, natural and socio-cultural changes. In this study, by obtaining the data which will form substructure for the urban scale planning, including the users in Akçaabat, solution offers have been developed to increase the urban life quality and to transfer the identity to the future with sustainable sense.
