A Computational Analysis Method to Evaluating Experiential Qualities of Historical Streets in Sustainable Townscapes

In recent years, there have been numerous studies on the influencing factors of experiential qualities, but there is a lack of consideration for spatial cognition factors such as the perceived quality of street space by the public under a people-oriented approach. This paper uses a space syntax analysis method to evaluating experiential qualities of historical streets in sustainable townscapes. The research results show that from a global perspective, spatial quality has a certain explanatory power on the distribution of spatial vitality. From a local perspective, the impact of different dimensions of space quality on space vitality showing a more complex relationship in urban space. The difference in the impact of spatial quality on spatial vitality in different types of spaces is mainly related to location, and the improvement of spatial quality optimization on spatial vitality requires certain material prerequisites. Therefore, in actual space renovation work, it is necessary to determine whether quality optimization can be adopted to enhance vitality based on the existing material conditions of the space.
