Transformation in Settlement Organisation and Concept of Space

Abstract

In this section, the Author attempts to understand the complex interrelationships between the built environment and social interaction in the communities of prehistoric Cyprus. The analysis of the prehistoric Cypriot built environment is conducted at a macro-scale by taking into consideration aspects of transformation at the larger settlement level. Spatial and socio-cultural conventions are examined through analysis of settlement design, with attention to buildings, streets, and open spaces in order to evaluate how defined spatial settings may contribute to the formation and reproduction of social identities and economic roles.
