Evaluation of Urban Identity and its Components in Landscape Architecture
2017
Today, globalization, industrialization and technological developments have caused radical changes in cities. As the cities of the world become increasingly similar, the change emerging from the functional and aesthetic direction affects the urban dimension of identity. In this context, it is necessary to determine the "existing" and "missing" of the city by determining the ways of reaching the identity of the city. Within this whole environmental context, density, public space including streets and streets, the relation of urban functions, building and urban open space associations, monuments, urban facilities are being discussed as the elements that constitute urban identity. Determination of the identity of the city is important for assessing urban life. The aim of this research which evaluates the original texture of the urban settlement on "urban identity" is to determine the urban identity components in the urban settlement and to reveal these components in the city center scale.
A Research on Urban Identity: Sample of Kadıköy District
Journal of Contemporary Urban Affairs
Cities have idiosyncratic identities composed of the combination of identity elements which are generated by the natural, social or built environments. Due to globalization, neo-liberal approaches and urban branding, cities have lost their unique identities to a significant extent; and resemblances among cities have gradually emerged. Therefore, some research questions occur such as which urban elements are the identity elements that form the unique identity; what are the problems that threaten the identity elements; and which identity features should be emphasized. The aim of this study is to analyze the unique identity and identity elements, and also determine the positive and negative identity features of an urban district. Central Kadıköy, located on the Asian side of Istanbul, was chosen as the experiment area and 117 questionnaires were conducted. The results have revealed that the most frequently defined unique identity element of Central Kadıköy is the Bull Statue; the second one is İskele Square and the third one is the Moda Coast. According to the focal points of this study, relation with nature is an important identity feature that needs to be emphasized; on the other hand, over-urbanization and deterioration of historical identity are the characteristics that should be prevented.
Role of cultural landscape in formation of urban identity by example of Ural towns
IOP Conf. Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
The article discusses the formation of the concept of the identity of the urban landscape in the context of the specifics of the cities of the Ural region. The authors interpret urban identity as a reflective necessity for belonging to a social group. And the urban landscape, which is always in front of his eyes, is an important means of forming identity. The town-plants of the Urals are distinguished by the specific spatial organization (cultural landscape) of the urban core. The article concludes that the cultural landscape created in this way is the constant in time, that provide constant reminder of the town's history. The article demonstrates the importance of methods of architectural and landscape reconstruction as a tool of building urban identity.
A research on urban identity: sample of Konya
International Journal of Human Sciences, 2011
It is obvious that social, economic and technologic developments of 20th century result in a number of new changes and transformations on urban spaces. Today cities are far from their traditional patterns and reflect new developing identity to physical spaces. The basic aim of this study which is assuming "every city and every era has an identity" is to display Konya's old and new identity through the analysis of historical period and to develop effective suggestions for developing and sustaining the present identity of the city. According to this aim, in the scope of the study, first of all Konya's changing identity was examined in the historical period and displayed old and new identity formations of the city. With these research, it was seen that Konya city stand out with three different districts which are come from the historic period, differ in properties of man-made environment and which acquire a shape with today's different plan decisions. On the next stage of the study, one neighborhood (Hacı Şaban, Piri Mehmet Paşa and Feritpaşa neighborhoods) from each district (Meram, Karatay and Selçuklu) which reflects the general pattern and identity of the district were selected as sample areas. In these selected neighborhoods visual analysis were done in accordance with man-made environment identity components that were come from the theoretical approach to display the different identity elements of the districts. Subsequently, a total of 384 questionnaire interview which reflects %0.05 sampling ratio were done with the users of the selected neighborhoods to understand how the users perceive their environment, what is the positive and negative man-made identity elements of the neighborhood, what is the requests/appreciations of the users related to the subject and to develop suggestions for the future of the city identity. For questionnaire interviews random and systematic sampling techniques were used. The results that come from the interviews were evaluated with frequency distribution analysis and content analysis techniques. In conclusion of the study some suggestions for possible future plan and projects were developed on behalf of Konya's man-made environment identity. All these man-made environment identity elements are important for developing urban identity and making alive the urban image.
Urban populations have rapidly grown and imagination has been done through more facilities and services to cities after industrial revolution. This has caused to emerge a lot concerns in urban form through uncontrolled growth. Urban form is recognized one of the main components of urban design which is transformed by land use planning. As urban design defines and protects urban identity through recognizing of local distinctive symbols so, land use distribution method can play major role in cities forming and physical identity whilst it is efficient instrument for urban management to found city characters’. The paper identifies effective elements of city physical identity and further examines role of land use planning on making of cities physical identity in Iran. The finding extracts five effective elements which must be considered to improve making of city physical identity in Iranian cities.

The rapid urbanization in many developing countries has indicated several challenges in urban expansion. This is due to the inefficient urban planning approaches towards managing development processes. Urban form and physical identity as the major urban components have been influenced by rapid urbanization and spontaneous urban development. Although, urban design defines urban form and physical identity, urban land distribution creates urban form and physical identity because the use of land determines cities characters including buildings, streets and public spaces. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the current literature on the physical identity concept and to recognize effective ingredients on the making of the physical identity in Iranian cities. Furthermore, this research examines the role of land use planning on the making of physical identity as well as introduces some recommendations to improve them. The required data were collected through a ...
A Holistic Research Approach to Measuring Urban Identity: Findings from Kyrenia Area Study
As cities are losing place identity under the influence of industrialization, technological advancements and globalisation, a key task for mainstream politicians, urban planners/designers and residents is to understand what makes a city unique and recognizable. As urban identity is formed not only through identifiable and memorable formal attributes, but through the meaning attached by the users of the city, there is a need for a holistic approach integrating objective measures achieved through pre-analysis of the urban environment, and subjective measures achieved through user surveys. This study, based on such a holistic research framework, aims to measure the urban identity in Girne (Kyrenia), using survey data with a sampling of 250 participants, following a pre-analysis of the town. The results of the analysis indicated that although historic landmarks are so powerful in constructing the urban identity, traditional urban pattern and social life have not been found significant in constructing the images of the city unless they are frequented by local residents. On the other hand, the new housing developments lacking locally appropriate architectural and contextual qualities do not influence the urban image at all. Further, as the findings revealed that the perception of urban identity changes in time, there appears an opportunity to regain and/or enhance identity through various strategies. These include urban design strategies that depend so much on the specific context of a particular area, including all environmental dimensions defined in the paper.

Urban Environmental Aesthetic and Identity: The Case of Masouleh, Iran
Art-Sanat, 2022
Urban environmental aesthetics and place identity have begun to take their place on the design and planning agenda, especially in recent years. Urbanization resulting from competition between cities has caused the loss of identity and aesthetics in cities all over the world. The decreasing use of traditional building methods and planning, without consideration of the local context, by developers, authorities, and even administrators of cities has led cities to resemble each other. In light of these developments, the shape, form, texture, and especially identity and aesthetics of settlements become important in planning and urban design. While the concepts of aesthetics and urban identity are difficult to define, there are some parameters to evaluate them. This paper has two main objectives. The first is to determine parameters to evaluate aesthetics and urban identity. The second is to check these parameters over historical and touristic settlements. For this purpose, the concepts of aesthetics and spatial identity will be explained within the scope of the literature. The city of Masouleh in Iran has been chosen as an example of a historical and touristic settlement. The systematic development of the historical settlement, as well as the landscape, identity, and aesthetics of the environment's harmony and texture, were evaluated with a descriptive-analytical approach methodology based on the parameters revealed in the scope of the research. The findings aim to reveal the aesthetics and identity of historical residential areas. Including this information in scientific studies will lead to the design of more aesthetic settlements in the future.
