This research paper deals with the mutual dependence of water phenomenon and urban morphology. Water is a basic subject matter of many analyses, and it is considered a principal existential and vital generator of the formation, sustainability and transformation of different types of cities. The water relevant facts are here presented from the aspect of elementary criteria of generative factors of typification of cities and relationship between urban landscapes and water. By integrating well-known urban and technical factors with presence of water on a surface model, optimum results are obtained with respect to water percentage in cities. Overall results of the research represent an instruction for future transformations of urban structures encouraged by water presence.
Key words: water phenomenon, urban transformation, urban morphology, shape and form of a city, urban matrix .

FENOMEN VODA – TRANSFORMACIJA URBANOG MORFOSA
Istraživanje u radu usmjereno je prema iznalaženju međuovisnosti fenomena vode i urbanog morfosa. Voda je bazični predmet analiza, kao osnovi egzistancijalno-vitalni generator nastanka, opstanka i transformacija više tipova gradova. Činjenice o vodi iznešene su sa aspekta elementarnih kriterija generativnih pokazatelja tipizacije gradova i odnosa urbanog prostora prema prisustvu vode. Integrisanjem poznatih urbanističko-tehničkih pokazatelja sa vodnim prisustvom na modelskoj površini, proizašli su optimalni pokazatelji procenata učešća vode u gradu. Ukupni rezultati istraživanja predstavljaju uputu budućim transformacijama urbanih struktura potaknutih vodnim prisustvom.
