ABSTRACT

İstanbul experienced significant changes in its urban pattern as a result of Westernization that took place in the nineteenth century. Galata, a neighbourhood located in the Beyoğlu District, represents the occidental and cosmopolitan face of the city during that time. This study examines the spatial effects of these social and political changesby integrating old city maps of Beyoğlu and Galata with geographic information system programmes (GIS). This methodology affords novel interpretations of historical maps thanks to these new ways of analyzing, displaying, and managing geographical information. The maps of G. d’Ostoya (1858–1860), R. Huber (1887–1891), and Charles E. Goad (1904–1906) have been coordinated with GIS software. Items such as buildings, roads, and empty spaces included as raster data have been transformed into vector data to make comparisons and superpositions possible within the GIS environment. Thus, the transformation of urban space can be revealed, and conclusions about how Galata experienced broader change across the nineteenth century can be perceived.

摘要

由于19世纪的西方化，伊斯坦布尔的城市格局发生了重大变化。加拉塔（Galata）是位于贝尤鲁（Beyoğlu）区的一个街区，代表了当时的西方和世界性城市风貌。这项研究通过将Beyoğlu和Galata的旧城区地图与地理信息系统程序（GIS）集成在一起，研究了这些社会和政治变化的空间影响。由于这些分析，显示和管理地理信息的新方法，该方法提供了对历史地图的新颖解释。奥斯托亚（G. d'Ostoya）（1858–1860），R。Huber（1887–1891）和Charles E. Goad（1904–1906）的地图已与GIS软件进行了协调。建筑物，道路，并将栅格数据中包含的空白空间转换为矢量数据，从而可以在GIS环境中进行比较和叠加。因此，可以揭示城市空间的变化，并且可以得出有关加拉塔如何在19世纪经历更广泛变化的结论。
