Urban Space Resilience During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Urban spaces have always been considered
as a milestone of planning and thought to the city. The
role of these spaces in the pandemic was doubled in
importance. The experience of quarantine and
observance of social distancing were among the issues
that led to a rethinking of how urban spaces were formed
in line with the new conditions that COVID-19 and its
new strains imposed on citizens’ life. Therefore, the main
purpose of this study was to provide a framework for
creating resilient and flexible urban spaces in accordant
period after COVID-19 pandemic. This scientific
research is reviewed and based on the review of
experiences and literature, three basic concepts of
“urban spaces, resilience and flexibility as well as the
effects and influences of two sides of urban spaces and
covid-19 pandemic” have been developed. Therefore,
based on the researchers conducted from the beginning
of the pandemic, selected resources and studies were
carried out. The findings show that increasing resilience
in urban spaces is possible by explaining medium,
medium and long-term approaches through combined
attention to physical and non-physical factors such as
social, behavioral, economic, etc. and there are proposals
to achieve this according to the prevailing circumstances.
