The spatial diversity and the syntactic analysis has been carried out by using access graphs. The residences of the districts are in residential character; adjoining, inward-facing and courtyard-shaped. The plan layouts of the houses consist of open, semi-open and closed spaces arranged around a central courtyard. Frontal sides facing the street in the houses are blind and the rooms are facing courtyards.
