Mekân dizimi 1970’li yıllarda Bill HILLIER ve Julienne HANSON tarafından geliştirilmiş insan hareketi
ve algısını temel alan bir araştırma yöntemidir. Bu yöntem günümüzde özellikle mimarlar tarafından
binaların içyapılarının ve şehirlerin algılanmasında kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada mekân dizim analizinde
kullanılan bazı terimlerden ve analizlerden bahsedilmiştir. Uzun zamandır farklı bilim dallarında
kullanılan bu yöntemin coğrafyada kullanılan bazı kavram ve metotlarla olan bağlantısı
incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlarla bu yöntemin coğrafyada kullanılabilirliği tartışılmıştır. Çalışmada,
bu yöntemin coğrafyaya entegrasyonunu değerlendirmek ve konuyla ilgili farkındalık yaratmak
temel amaç olarak belirlenmiştir. Gelecekte mekân dizim analizi yöntemi kullanılarak yapılacak
olan coğrafi çalışmalara bir altlık hazırlamak da çalışmanın bir diğer önemli amacını oluşturur.

This article examines the life and works of British architect William James Smith and outlines his contributions to nineteenth century Ottoman architecture and presents his prominence as an architectural historian of nineteenth century British architectural work.

Cities are sites where natural environmental changes are observed the most, hundreds of thousands and even millions of people take shelter, and which change, develop, affect and are influenced by the events people carry on in order to perpetuate their vital activities (Atalay, 2001:52). And they have become an integral part of human life as a result of this mutual interaction. Since they are locations where people effectuate many of their social, cultural and economic activities such as entertainment, relaxation, employment, etc. besides their sheltering need, they have been developed and changed diversely by the people. In this way, they constitute a cultural geographical view by acquiring specific identifier feature with the aid of architectural structures that reflect the civic culture of the people living in the cities.
It is an accepted fact also by the geographers that all residences have a cultural geographical view. Cultural geographical views are artificial views culture groups create with the physical features of the areas they settled.  Thus, every area that has a settlement reflects cultural tracks from which they originated (Tümertekin and Özgüç, 2004:93). Cities created by each nation are the product of its own geographical conditions and cultural level, cities do not resemble each other like the people, and they reflect historical structure, customs and traditions of the societies they belong (Tunçdilek, 1986:102).
Features that add value to cities and differentiate them from the other cities are characterized as urban identity. Haapala (1998) and Karadağ (2006) have described urban identity as the geographical landscaping that sets the city apart from the other cities and comes on the scene within the framework of the mutual relation of natural, social and environmental components; and as the reflections of this landscaping to its culture (Karadağ, Koçman; 2007:5). Önem and Kılıçaslan have assessed the urban identity by means of factors from natural, human and artifactual environments. Accordingly, identity factors arising from natural environment are properties such as topographical features of the city, climatic conditions, vegetation cover, general location, etc. Identity factors generating from human environment are individuals and the society, because values possessed by the individuals and society are reflected to the city structure and make contribution to the urban identity in this way.
Identity factors originating from artifactual environment include all sorts of arrangements performed in the city. Components like squares, wards, monuments, buildings, etc. rank among these arrangements (Birol, 2007:47).  From this point of view, artifactual environment enter into the area of interest of cultural geography. All kinds of artifactual buildings provide a geographical view for the city. Architectural features are among the key aspects of cultural geography and offer cultural identity to the cities.
Architectural structure is the constituent that reflects the cultural geographical view the most. Architectural structure that ranks among the materialistic cultural constituents of cultural geography easily gives information about a culture and values of that culture.  Consequently, all buildings dominating the materialistic cultural view starting from the simplest to the most magnificent ones are fairly important in terms of cultural geography and cultural geographical view (Tümertekin, Özgüç; 2004:96). The factor that gives information at the first stage about the social, cultural and economic structure of the city is its buildings.  Thus, they can reflect glory, delicacy, power as well as frailty, visual pollution.  As a matter of fact, constructions that are inharmonious with the city development, architecture style create visual pollution. 
Architectural features that represent a culture system in various ways are examined in categories of religious architecture, architecture of administration buildings or public architecture, and local architecture (Tümertekin, Özgüç; 2004:97). Therefore, examination of buildings of religious architecture, public buildings and buildings of local architecture can be realized. Cities have the characteristics of a laboratory of cultural geography with their architectural features. However, disappearance of architectural features that reflect the cultural texture of Elazığ city center is in question as for throughout Turkey. Architectural features of new settlements in Elazığ do not offer features that distinguish the city from other cities on the contrary Elazığ is being added to the chain of similar cities.

Sebestyén Noémi Éva harmadéves építész szakos hallgató is részt vett a pannonhalmi kápolna építésében, sőt, nemcsak részt vett, hanem olyan élményekkel gazdagodott, amik elég muníciót adtak neki, hogy szigorlati dolgozatát is a témában írja. Vele beszélgettünk a projektről, az ötlet megszületésétől a megvalósításáig, az építkezés felemelő és legnehezebb pillanatairól.
