520			_aABSTRACT Port cities are more than just coastal cities. If port cities are in the Eastern Mediterranean region, then they are more than just port cities. Coming from a similar past as a part of common geography, Eastern Mediterranean port cities have unique developments resulting in unique port city identities. Particularly by the 19th century developments, the port cities in the region have undergone more or less similar processes affecting their spatial and social patterns. The focus of this research is to discuss the outcomes of this process regarding the spatial and social similarities and differences. Along with the socio-economic and socio-cultural parameters affecting the development of port cities, the overview of the specific cities helps to propose an analytical model for the evaluation of port cities. Therefore, this study focuses on four port cities in Eastern Mediterranean, which had been ruled by Ottoman Empire during the 19th century. Within the framework of Eastern Mediterranean port cities taking Cyprus to the centre, this study applies the analytical model on Famagusta, Limassol, Mersin and Beirut port cities to reveal the socio-spatial pattern characteristics and assemble an integrated picture of Eastern Mediterranean port cities. The overview of these port cities designates three basic types of spatial development: linear development, radial development and network development. The proposed analytical model comprises the prominent components of these development patterns which are specified as waterfront, main urban square and major commercial street. These components are assumed to be the key public spaces of the socio-spatial pattern associated with the port city identity. In this regard, the spatial patterns are initially analysed through Space Syntax methodology in reference to 19th century and present day layouts, and the social patterns are analysed through the key public spaces considering their present layouts. The case study cities are analysed individually and discussed comparatively. The results indicate that all cities have their own limitations affecting the spatial pattern development which reflects on the social pattern in various ways. The outcomes of the research also imply that the cities with similar development patterns present similar features of the key public spaces. However, it is also among the findings that the social pattern of these spaces affects the imageability of the cities which is associated with the unique identity of the port cities.
