Assessment of Urban Identity and Its Components: A Case Study of Erbil

Erbil Citadel embodies the unique urban identity of Erbil, characterized by its historical and architectural significance. This study reveals that the citadel, along with areas like Tajeel and Khanaqa district, fulfills key components of urban identity, including environmental and social elements. The research employs a two-stage methodology: a literature review on urban identity and visual analyses (photographs, maps, observations) to examine how Erbil's historical and spatial context shapes its identity. By analyzing these areas, the study aims to enhance planning and decision-making processes while increasing awareness of the city's brand value. The findings highlight the importance of preserving such sites for their cultural and historical significance.
