Özet
Street-residence genotype compatibility needs to be addressed with a holistic approach; however, studies on this subject remain limited. This study aims to examine the relationships between residential and street genotypes constituting the traditional settlement structure and to identify recurring spatial patterns that may reflect culturally shaped practices through the relationships between the constituent parts of the settlement. Structural similarities or differences in street layouts and the ground floors of residential buildings are regarded as indicators of the compatibility or incompatibility of cultural codes. This study examined streets and residences in fortress settlements with diverse geographical and cultural characteristics in Ankara, Antalya, Diyarbak & imath;r, Edirne, and Trabzon, T & uuml;rkiye. Using Space Syntax analysis, mean depth, integration, entropy, J-graphs, and street-residence connection degrees were analyzed in the examined residences and streets. This way, it was aimed to reach comparative spatial genotype results for streets and residences in different cultural regions. The findings indicate that street-residence compatibility, the street-courtyard-residence hierarchy, and direct street-residence connections are associated with culturally shaped spatial patterns. By relating Space Syntax , J-graph, and street-residence connection analyses, the study contributes to the literature and reveals the similarities and differences between the spatial organizations of the street system and residences.
