The permanence of the spatial elements that form the city is directly related to the continuity of urban memory. Among the city’s spatial elements, streets are the most permanent and tend to preserve their original layout. Therefore, the research focuses on streets. Since the development and change of the streets are shaped in a close relationship with the boundaries of the city, these two elements are considered in a holistic perspective. The study area is the city of Antakya (Antioch), which has not been abandoned despite the devastating earthquakes and natural disasters in the historical process, has been rebuilt many times thanks to its religious and commercial importance, and has been settled since the Hellenistic period. The methodology of the research is a case study structured by comparing and superimposing 12 maps drawn about Antakya, interpreting the information read on these maps together with the data obtained from written sources and field surveys conducted in the city. As a result of the study, it has been revealed that there have been spatial and social changes since ancient times due to natural disasters, wars, changes in the natural environment of the city over time and planned and unplanned interventions in the urban space by human hands, resulting in ruptures in urban memory. Despite this, it is seen that some elements of urban memory such as street traces and place names have been maintained since ancient times.}, number={2}, publisher={Erciyes Üniversitesi}
