“…The results of that study revealed that the urban neighbourhood is a unique locus of the convergence of these elements. Accordingly, the urban form is basically an expression of the values of its users, as shaped by the forces of tradition, by communal reaction and by physical constraints (zoning, planning, etc) (Jo, 1998;Whitehand, 1981). In a later period, the conspicuous consumption of post-modern urbanism is reflected in numerous ways by the economic and cultural shifts in the society and, in turn, helps render them visible (Mitchell, 2000), thereby causing the transformation of neighbourhoods.…”

During the last century, the transformation of Istanbul's urban structure from monocentric to multi-centric and its rapid population growth resulted in neighbourhood patterns which are spread across a large spectrum according to their location and their cultural, socio-economic and historical backgrounds. In urban settings, the potential environment is reinterpreted by its users, and is realized through the application of the space and time-specific societal norms within the context of technological advances. The present study investigates the selected neighbourhood patterns from historical to westernized, modern, postmodern (gated) and Manhattanized forms.According to the results of the study, although some of the historical, westernized and modern neighbourhoods have been preserved to a large extent, the haphazard development of high-rise residential buildings has caused traffic congestion, pollution, an increased income gap and changes in land values, and has thus produced functional transformations in their immediate surroundings. In addition, this unnecessary increase in housing density is not only harmful for the city's famous silhouette but also for its traditional neighbourhood relationships. In order to allow a physically, economically and socially more balanced development of the city, it is necessary to control its Gülden Demet Oruç & Özhan Ertekin & Vedia Dökmeci DOI: 10.15320/ICONARP.2017.31 -E-ISSN: 2147 growth and follow a system of planned development which is not solely for the benefit of real estate investors. It is hoped that the results of the study will be useful for the urban and regional planners, policy makers and investors.

The urban area is a spatial system that significantly impacts residents’ health risks. Despite the fact that urban areas house only 55% of the global population, they account for 95% of COVID-19 cases, highlighting the urgent need to understand the role of the urban environment in disease spread. This research explores the critical impact of urban form characteristics on public health risks, focusing primarily on the dynamics of COVID-19 transmission. The aim of the study study is to elucidate the spatial association between urban form elements such as connectivity, density, and heterogeneity and the incidence of COVID-19 cases, with a specific focus on Yogyakarta. Using global (OLS) and local (GWR) spatial regression models, we analyzed the relationship between these elements and COVID-19 prevalence at the neighborhood level rigorously. Our findings reveal a pronounced spatial correlation, particularly highlighting the significance of connectivity and heterogeneity. These factors explain over 95% of the variance in case numbers, while density shows no substantial link. This study’s originality lies in its hypothesis-driven examination of urban form impact on COVID-19 transmission, providing new insights into the spatial determinants of health risks in urban settings. Practical implications of our research are profound, providing evidencebased guidance for urban planning and disaster preparedness strategies to mitigate future health crises better. The study contributes valuable insights into designing healthier and more sustainable urban environments by providing a nuanced understanding of how the urban form influences the spread of disease.
