The city in Turkey now known as Konuralp was important
during the Ottoman period and is the site of the ancient city of Prusias ad
Hypium. With a rich historical past in the Hellenistic period, Konuralp also
has the legacy of the historical Ottoman city fabric in its vernacular
architecture, as seen in its old plot and street patterns. At present, the site
of the ancient residential area of Prusias ad Hypium and the neighborhoods
nearby are under pressure from the new settlements created in the aftermath of
the 1999 earthquake, as well as from the growth of the university. This study
aimed to research the relationship between the changing demographic features and
the sense of place amongst the new inhabitants of the neighborhoods which have
changed since the 1999 Düzce earthquake and after the founding of the university
campus. Accordingly, remarkable
elements effect on the sense of place in these residential neighborhoods have
been studied through quantitative methods and via a questionnaire.
