Cities that cannot keep up with the times by unable to develop in terms of physical, social, functional and economic structure may be abandoned over time by losing their users. These observable effects of collapse can also be realized through natural or human-induced disasters with an external intervention that does not spread over a temporal period. All or a large part of urban areas are damaged by rapid and instantaneous destruction due to disasters. This situation causes these areas to rapidly enter a period of collapse or to be abandoned due to the forced migration of their users. In this context, this study has been prepared to examine the physical and sociocultural conditions in abandoned areas due to natural or human-induced disasters and their effects on urban identity and sustainability. The spatial damages in the cities examined within the scope are analyzed at structural and regional scales and the effects of abandonment on the city are revealed. In this context, the Chinese city of Beichuan, which was destroyed by 7.9 magnitude earthquake as a natural disaster area and the Italian town of Oradour Sur Glane, which was destroyed during World War II as a man-made disaster area, are examined within the scope of the sample area. In both cities, the traces of the disaster are preserved and exhibited as a memory museum. This situation reveals a potential contribution to ensuring the identity continuity of these abandoned areas despite the loss of their users. The results of the analyses reveal that the physical destruction has caused deterioration not only in urban structures but also in social, economic and cultural areas. It can be said that physical destruction in abandoned areas causes social, economic and cultural deterioration. This situation reveals the impact of spatial structure not only on physical sustainability but also on social sustainability.
