The correlation between urban borders and perception: a case study on an urban border in Central Istanbul - Levent & Çeliktepe

Streets play a crucial role in determining a city's identity and functionality as urban elements. They serve as paths, forms of transportation, and social networks; but they can also turn into urban borders that divide the continuity of an urban area and foster socio-spatial differences. With a...

description Streets play a crucial role in determining a city's identity and functionality as urban elements. They serve as paths, forms of transportation, and social networks; but they can also turn into urban borders that divide the continuity of an urban area and foster socio-spatial differences. With a focus on a designated area in Istanbul, this research explores the idea of urban borders and how they affect perceptions of space and interactions within communities. In Istanbul, which is formed of a combination of unique "inner cities," moving from one area to another frequently causes substantial changes in perception and movement. This study explores the sudden transition between the nearby degenerated neighborhood of Çeliktepe and the luxurious residential and commercial district of Levent. A street in between that acts as an "urban border," clearly defining a split in socioeconomic status and cultural background, indicates this change. For the first part, the study aims to comprehend the relationship between the built environment and spatial perception, with a focus on how these urban borders impact how people perceive space. The physical and perceptual differences between Levent and Çeliktepe are examined through a multi-layered analysis that takes into account the differences in demographics, society, culture, and architecture.

In conclusion, the study aims to find potential strategic nodal points for reframing the designated street that is the urban border that divides the distinctive two areas; as harmonious, integrating parts of the cityscape that decreases the disconnection and ameliorate the perceptual divisions.
