Summary/Abstract: The city space influences human experience, feelings and behavior. For an effective spatial policy, it is important that the inhabitants of the city and the surrounding villages identify with it, identify and integrate with each other. The phenomenon of ties with the city occurs if the city space has certain features and elements conducive to it.
