Abstract
In this research, analysis method based on users and sustainable squares should be focused of the users. In this context, “Observation Method” was used for users orientation in the fields (squares).By this method, we can do users observation and users mapping analysis. By This way to compare the data obtained with the mathematical data used Space Syntax method. Space Syntax is an user-oriented method. In this way, we can obtain data about using space and user orientation in the space. So, square’s circulation and static fields are determined. By using the methods, functional and useful spaces will be provided at the same time the production of sustainable spaces. In this research, Beyazit Square in the A°stanbul Historic Peninsula is selected for application area. The method has been tested in this area. With the results of the analysis demonstrated comments for sustainable square design.
Highlights
Technological developments and industrialism after the industrial revolution has caused migrations from rural areas to urban areas and as such has caused fast urbanisation which has led to unplanned development of cities
In our time, developing values, technological approaches and changing social living conditions affect the design of open spaces and squares
In any square regulation, using different methods capable of analysing the area and the users and obtaining the data that can operates the design with the right steps will produce positive results
Summary
Technological developments and industrialism after the industrial revolution has caused migrations from rural areas to urban areas and as such has caused fast urbanisation which has led to unplanned development of cities. After World War II, as the motored vehicles have become the dominant form of transportation, the road surfaces in cities have increased and in inverse proportion to this, available areas for pedestrians have decreased. The traffic problem that reaches greater heights in metropolitan cities and the fact that pedestrians are not able to find any place on the roads for themselves has made it mandatory to take new planning decisions relate to transportation in our era. The squares which can be shown as an example area for pedestrians have the functionality of social life. These squares are totally devoid of vehicle traffic. They are places which meet the needs for all the activities of pedestrians
