Abstract
The increased population density, technological advances and modern communication tools have affected urban design, planning and architecture in urban centers. On the other hand, the disproportionate population growth has caused urban managers not to pay much attention to non-physical aspects of cities and to ignore the mental impacts of urban sprawl on citizens. The street has undergone a variety of changes historically and functionally over time; hence this study aims to assess the physical-functional characteristics and their effect on social relationships on Bagdat Street. This study is an applied research in terms of its objectives and employs a descriptive-analytical methodology. The information is collected through field research (observation, interview and questionnaire). The field data is obtained by distributing the questionnaires. According to the research on green spaces, numerous coastal walking spaces, cafes and shopping malls have had a great influence upon people's social relationships on Bagdat Street, but these social spaces profoundly have affected the relationships of residents in terms of furniture, performance at urban level and physical changes of the street throughout history and even led to problems, which are properly investigated in this study.

Summary
Cities are sociocultural constructed phenomena that emerge out of sociocultural practices that are often the reflections of political, economic, social and spatial changes in the society [15].A city, which is a lively and dynamic place, plays an important role in the mental well-being of individuals. Individuals living in the cities need safe, public spaces to get rest from the overwhelming heavy traffic and have fun. Public spaces are of great importance to urban residents and urban life [19]. These urban changes in Istanbul do originate from the functions that the city has undertaken [11].
