The study setting covers Kafeler Streets, being in a center of entertainment in Isparta. In the grid-shaped area, structurally comprised of streets, the shops are placed opposite and next to each other. Space Syntax, a collection of techniques for understanding, describing and predicting the perception of cities' spatial formation and pedestrian movements, was used. It focuses on the unifying effect of the grid structure of the area where it is located. The impact of grid city forms on integration and pedestrian movements is an important question. The effect of the urban grid on user mobility was studied by analyzing the space sequence of the area and performing pedestrian counts on each street. When other factors are homogenized, the spatial formation determines the user movements. In this method, where facts such as space and urban topography are decisive, the movement patterns in the environment are referred. Thus, questioning the impact of the urban grid on pedestrian mobility and determining what these effects are forms the purpose of the study. The study showed that urban grid parameters such as street width, functions of them and buildings' height affect pedestrian mobility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
