Abstract:Natural and social resources are not evenly distributed in the urban areas which causes an unbalanced development and a differentiated socio-economic structure in the urban space. In cities, where different socio-economic characteristics take place, social status, occupational and cultural characteristics, lifestyles, income level, relative and citizenry relations cause the location of the population in different areas of the urban space and these socio-economic differences shape the space. The aim of this study is to analyze how socio- economic characteristics of the population living in Bursa shape the space and what kind of differentiation these characteristics create in the urban space. In order to find out the current socio-economic and spatial structure of the city, first of all the 2000 and 2010 Social and Economic Characteristics of Population in Bursa data of TÜİK were gathered and then for 2013 a detailed questionnaire was applied to the households in the different neighborhoods of Bursa metropolitan area. By the data gathered from the questionnaire survey, which socioeconomic variables are effective on the differentiation of the spatial structure in different neighborhoods and whether there is a relation among these variables and how much they are effective are find out by using chi-square, ANOVA and principal component analysis tests.
