Abstract
Physical qualities that create diversity in uses and users are the basis of well-functioning of the neighbourhood environment. However, since the Modernist period, there have been obvious shortcomings in planners’ contribution to the concept of diversity within neighbourhood structure and spatial pattern in many cases. This study, therefore, first investigates the issue of “diversity” within neighbourhood environments and highlights its significance in achieving a successful neighbourhood; then, it will build up a model for analysis of diversity and will analyze four neighbourhoods of Famagusta based on a proposed model in order to make recommendations towards better quality of community life in neighbourhoods.
