Abstract :In this study, it is aimed to research the reasons and solutions of socioeconomic differences between Yeni Sahra Neighborhood and Sahrayıcedit Neighborhood which are neighborhoods of one of the important transportation axes (D-100 highway) in Istanbul, on the same north-south line. Some of the elements in city have a negative impact on settlement and integration by creating a physical boundry. When re-uniting the separate parts of the city, attitude should not be to connect them with weak ties. Providing more substantial integration would be the main attitude of this study. Yeni Sahra Neighborhood and Sahrayıcedit Neighborhood are two districts, shaped and bordered by a physical urban boundary. In this study, the morphologic structure of two neighborhoods, the socio-economic differences of the inhabitants and whether these are under the physical boundary effect will be investigated, then solutions and suggestions will be established. The spatial step of the research will be done with space syntax theory and axial maps of both fields will be created by using the DepthmapX/2019 program and potential points of these areas will be determined. This method will be used to determine whether the existing connections are in the right places and the new areas will be detected for new urban leaks. After the problems are identified, solution and suggestions will be established.
