Abstract
Urban pavement materials show variety because of growing population, changing technology, material options and changing life condition, social and cultural values of the time and materials which have functions and conditions of natural environment. Cost of the materials, availability and physical properties influence preference of the materials. The aim of this study is to research the change of urban pavement character from the 1900s to present in Trabzon city; put forward the conditions in different time periods; and determine the fact that the change in time and setting can fulfill the needs appropriately. Towards explaining the historical progress of ground coverings and its role in design, the photograph analysis was carried out and the historical process was evaluated in a way that can present the relations of ground covering with spatial identities. As a result of these evaluations, the change in the function and aesticity of the ground in accordance with some needs in the course of time is being introduced. In this study, Trabzon city is dealt from past to today, flooring materials used in cityscape design is examined in terms of design criteria, by dealing the field of study that gives identity to the city on four main shafts, two as traffic routes, two as freed of traffic pedestrian ways, with the intent of presenting the past, carried value and properties of these four areas in the past, the change they undergo and what this change brings are studied, suggestions are made for better applications. The study area is studied mainly on four main axes. With the intent of enlightening the past, past values and properties of these four areas, the change and different design materials and suggestions are made for future applications. For seven different area groups that are determined existing due diligence is done and pavement material variety that are applied in these areas is presented.
