摘要

Space syntax, a powerful analytical framework rooted in architectural and urban design, has emerged as a valuable tool for unraveling the complex spatial configurations within various networks. By emphasizing the relationships and connectivity patterns embedded in physical space, space syntax offers a unique perspective that proves insightful in the analysis of diverse networks, ranging from urban road systems to social structures. By investigating the spatial relationships and connectivity patterns inherent in road systems, space syntax analysis offers valuable insights that can inform more effective and sustainable strategies for urban mobility and infrastructure design. This study presents a comparative study of two (2) road networks in different neighborhoods, employing space syntax analysis to identify common spatial patterns and variations. It, also, investigates the influence of space syntax on pedestrian movement within urban areas, and analyzes how the spatial configuration of road networks affects pedestrian accessibility, safety, and overall urban walkability. The findings not only contribute to advancing the understanding of urban road networks, but, also, inform evidence-based strategies for enhancing the practical applications of space syntax analysis, and informing sustainable and resilient urban development.
