Typology of
Boundaries and Their Effects on Paired Border Cities
In the literature of border
studies, there are different typological approaches in demarcation and
classifications of boundaries. One of the classifications is based on the
components which are used to determine the boundaries like geometrical, natural
or artificial. In terms of boundary characteristics, main issue is whether it
divides two sides or connects them. For the relations between two sides of the
boundary there is another classification like alienated, coexistent or
integrated. The process of demarcation is another issue for the boundary
classifications in the literature. Antecedent, subsequent or superimposed
boundaries are some of the types of boundaries. However, although there are
some classifications for paired border cities like partitioned or duplicated,
the typological studies of the boundaries are a little bit lacking to explain
the cities which are located on the borders and frontiers. In
the world there are approximately 250 border towns and may be half of them are
paired border cities. In this study, within the varied typological approaches,
paired border cities will be studied in terms of their connecting links and
relations, functional differences using land-use decisions and differences of
settlement patterns to reveal different morphologies of border conditions. The
most crucial examples of each type of paired border cities will be selected.
Within this selection, to understand the main effects of boundaries on the
different paired border cities around the world will be analyzed and mapped.
The results of the study will be used to be able to compare them.
