How urban form relates to pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns?
Traditional Origin-Destination Approach:
• Characterizes the problem in terms of flows to and from “attractor” land uses (i.e. shopping malls)
Land use•Pedestrian flow
•Vehicular flow
How urban form relates to pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns?
Configurational – Space Syntax Approach:
• Characterizes the problem in terms of how the “spatial configuration” of urban form relates to pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns
Configurational Accessibility
Attractive Land Uses
multiplier effect
More Human Space Use
• Pedestrian flow
• Vehicular flow
Configurational Accessibility - Permeability
• Non-metric and non-geometric ‘configurational properties of space • The ease of physical movement through a district• The number of alternative routes running through a district• Where people can go and cannot go
Configurational Analysis
Axial Map
Identified geometrically by drawing the longest straight line possible before the line hits a building, wall, etc.
