Abstract

This paper addresses the spatial pattern around the ancient amphitheater in the Çiftepınarlar neighborhood of the Konuralp District in Düzce Province, Turkey. The amphitheater has been declared a first-degree archeological site and its surrounding buildings are officially registered. The purpose of the study was to ascertain the quality of the settlement pattern in the defined area via an analysis based on the scale of the streets and residences. Furthermore, GIS was used to detect the urban pattern of the area under evaluation. The ultimate aim was to assess the vulnerability of the historical site and to develop a relevant proposal for the enhancement and conservation of the neighborhood.
