During the data collection phase expert and student groups, including landscape architects, investigated the area by public survey and direct observation to produce information for consideration by the researchers and an expert panel.Physical structure and life-style analyses were carried out through on the spot observation together with a public survey using face-to-face interviews and a computer-based visual analysis. During the last phase of the study, all the data obtained were evaluated by the research group and recommendations to direct future activity in planning, designing and primary conservation were developed on the basis of the selected street samples.
