Urban processes over the last century, conditioned by factors like rapid industrialization, rural to urban migration and post-war internal displacement influenced the large-scale emergence of informal settlements on the slopes of Sarajevo, BiH creating pressure on economy, infrastructure, environment, and the necessity to mitigate geomorphological hazards. In the absence of consistent urban planning strategy, with an instated legislation that is based on legalization of illegal construction, it is highly important to conduct evidence-based urban analyses of all affected areas to steer the course of development towards a sustainable urban trajectory. This research relies on Space Syntax analyses as a tool in elucidating the layout characteristics and spatial relations within selected study area of three settlements on the slopes of Sarajevo. A comparison is conducted between the Space Syntax analysis of existing conditions with the same analysis of planned conditions drafted in the official regulatory plans, to determine the level of change in terms of connectivity and urban integration. Central node areas within the layouts are identified with a 15-min distance walkability potential. The conducted spatial evaluation of selected area in this research provides basis for analyses of other settlements of the same character in and around Sarajevo. Furthermore, the level of urban intervention in the settlements can be determined and tailored to improve long-term sustainable urban development.
