Abstract

Situated to the east of central Anatolia, Sivas is one of the oldest cities in Turkey. Due to cultural shifts, the location of the city’s historical areas allows us to investigate the development of its urban morphology. Additionally, the spatial continuity of the city has been interrupted by visions of globalization, and the city center has been subject to rapid and devastating transformations. This text aims to examine how Sivas city center has been changed over time with regards to spatial legibility.
