International borders are concrete places that contain many dynamics within, expressed in abstract lines or abstract areas on the map. In the past, the concept of the border, which sustained its daily existence, has undergone both spatial and semantic changes. During these changes, the problems of the interface between the human relations, the border-crossings and the structure under the two different systems between the two sides of the boundary have always been fresh and agenda. Moreover, it has always been a remarkable research topic in many research fields. In many social sciences, borders that have been examined in different contexts have not found sufficient merit in the field of urbanism. For this reason, this study deals with the design problematique of the paired border cities from the urbanistic perspectives with a comprehensive review. Influence of life on the border with spatial decisions on boundaries, and spatial problems with relations have made this study focus on integration. Following a broad review of the literature and a World Panorama in the border context, this study provides a strategic framework that would enable both the design problematique of the paired border cities and the integration between the two sides of the boundaries.

Impact assessment of major urban interventions on the cultural heritage of Fener and Balat Districts
Dinler, Mesut; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2013)
Fener and Balat districts are two neighboring historic districts significant with their urban pattern constituted throughout history, authentic features in the buildings/monuments/city walls and being located within the boundaries of Golden Horn, integration with their social and physical environment. What makes Fener and Balat districts a unique case is that urban interventions have been continuously implemented in these districts starting from mid-1980s. First one of these interventions is Golden Horn Coa...
Local image structures and optic flow estimation
Kalkan, Sinan; Worgotter, F.; Lappe, M.; Kruger, N. (Informa UK Limited, 2005-12-01)
Different kinds of local image structures (such as homogeneous, edge-like and junction-like patches) can be distinguished by the intrinsic dimensionality of the local signals. Intrinsic dimensionality makes use of variance from a point and a line in spectral representation of the signal in order to classify it as homogeneous, edge-like or junction-like. The concept of intrinsic dimensionality has been mostly exercised using discrete formulations; however, recent work (Felsberg & Kriger 2003; Kruger & Felsbe...
Analysis of urban morphology in squatter transformation areas
Şahin, Mustafa Raşit; Yetişkul Şenbil, Emine; Department of City and Regional Planning (2014)
The impacts and results of urban transformation has been discussed as an important issue in developing countries by different disciplines as political economy, urban design, city planning and urban sociology. Urban transformation projects in Turkey are mainly criticized since the main focus is about physical transformation. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine what quality of space is produced by urban transformation projects in Turkey. Urban transformation projects creates a different scal...
Defining in-betweenness as a new spatial form the case of Durana, Albania
Alimadhi, Enkela; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2015)
This thesis focuses on and explores the notion of ‘In-betweenness’ as a ‘third space’ or a ‘new spatial form’ that have been observed on the area between two cities. This new spatial form has emerged and has been continuously generated on the land between the two important cities of Albania; i.e. Tirana -the capital City- and Durrës - the port City. As an outcome of particular political, social, economic, and geographical factors, as well as the morphological transformation, this research studies the ‘In-be...
Programming mixed-use projects with changing urban dynamics and user profile
Uğur, Emre; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2015)
The thesis investigates mixed-use projects and their functions and these projects' relationships with urban from urban scale to the building scale with examining mixed-use idea and mixed-use environments in urbanization processes from industrial revolution and post-industrial urbanization to the modernization, postmodernization and eventually context of globalization. Existing structures in post-industrial era, development of modern cities, modernism, post-modernism and neoliberal globalization, are analyze...
