“…As they limit the extension of the city, intensity within the walls has increased, houses become much closer to each other and streets have become much narrower.

As the streets in the city have been developed on the northsouth and eastwest axis, it has been kept open to cool winds coming from the north, providing natural ventilation (Baran et al, 2011).…”

As is known, transportation is an indispensable part of social life. Especially, transportation systems are used directly or indirectly in order to meet social necessities. In this sense, this study, taking into account traditional street patterns, elaborates on the structure of today's streets within the context of its relationship with areas allocated to public use. As human activity increases in urban areas, demand for transportation increases. It is possible to overcome difficulties faced in this respect by planning transportation and by developing an effective transportation system. Despite the fact that preferred areas by city dwellers change over time in line with new trends and development of shopping malls, Suriçi retains its population density and touristic value. This study aims to make a contribution to the literature on the relationship between transportation and social areas and the importance of preservation of street pattern in the city's traditional centre.
