Nicosia and Palmanova: Images of the city in the digital environment

Main Article Content

Abstract

As it is known, the existence of star-shaped cities went back to 16th century. Although these cities include different life forms because of the reason why they were established, at the same time, they share structural similarities. There are nine star-shaped cities in the world and can be found in Italy, Cyprus, Japan, Holland, Canada, Vietnam, Finland and Russia. Because the same architect designed Nicosia and Palmanova in Italy, the study will begin with a broader view on star-shaped cities and compare both. Although the walls were designed for defensive purposes, today, they are protected as a cultural heritage and this is significant for tourism. In this context, this study will analyse the web interface and how both Palmanova and Nicosia use the web, in terms of content, visual aspects, and how these are being used. As the number of users for web pages and blogs are increasing day by day, The reflection of social differences has been researched by examining the Lefkosa-Palmanova examples.
