The urban tissue morphology planning process is a multidimensional and
interdisciplinary subject, which dates back to the 7th century BC
and is still debated. Studies and classifications carried out with traditional
methods are insufficient to understand the cities of our age which have changed
very rapidly. For this reason, Chaos Theory and fractal geometry, which have
been put forward to understand the nature and its complex structure which
cannot be measured by traditional Euclidean geometry, have been used in urban
morphology studies in recent years. The main purpose of this study is; to
investigate the formation and development processes of a city through the
morphological change of the city of Bursa, which has a very rich historical
background, by using fractal analysis in urban and regional scales; and to
examine the temporal and spatial changes of urban components which are handled
with a holistic approach, on concrete numerical data. In the first part, Bursa
city stains of seven different years were analyzed; In the second section, the
fractal of the past and present tissues of nine different areas of the city,
which were chosen from different regions and which were the most changed in the
last 15 years, were measured. As a result of the research, it has been
determined that the newly formed urban tissue developed by ‘addition’ or ‘articulation’
to the existing ones; and that the tissue development process in urban
sub-regions and the growth process of the city, shows a similarity with the
numerical data. In the study which presents important data in terms of
revealing the order in chaotic morphological process; the city was understood
to be a self-organizing multi-fractal structure.
