Avanos is a region with a historical background that needs to be examined. Kızılırmak passing through its center divides the region into two different settlements. On the opposite side of our area, there is the region where the irregular settlement dominates, which is home to the old settlement area of the city. When we look from our field to the opposite side, an image that gives us a viewing pleasure meets us. On the other hand, the side where we are located is the side that is mostly composed of new settlements and where regular settlement is dominant.
