The examination of Diyarbakir urban morphology after 1950 with conzen method: Yenisehir sample
Cities have changes in their social, economic, cultural and physical features depending on the population increase. Requests and problems related to urbanization alter the urban morphology in time. The studies have been started to be done on planning containing the Diyarbakır province Yenişehir district in parallel with the developments in our country which has entered the planned era with the proclamation of the republic. Yenişehir has become one of the first regions most preferred for settlement after 1950 when going out of wall started. The city blocks consisting of garden houses of officers and realized via cooperatives at this era in the study area have turned into multi-storey buildings after 1955.

The buildings have been constructed in similar materials and appearance. Yenişehir started to be filled with people in 1970s and the density has increased day by day. Yenişehir has been built appropriately to the decisions of housing plan and urban morphology has been changing as planned. The subject of the study is the analysis and evaluation of morphological changes in the area of study. In the study, plans belonging to the area of investigation and plan decisions have been evaluated and in situ observation and determination have been done.
