Comparative Spatial Vitality Evaluation of Traditional Settlements Based on SUF: Taking Anren Ancient Town’s Urban Design as an Example

Sustainable urban forms (SUF) guide spatial creation, significantly revitalise the development of traditional settlements, and are an essential theoretical support for design. At same time, emergence quantitative analysis technology further promotes visualised evaluation performance vitality in However, current research rarely studies settlements with from SUF perspective. Therefore, this takes Anren Ancient Town Chengdu, Western China, as example to propose a design based on sustainable form theory raise local vitality. Then, it introduces system index (UFI) three measurement methods: Space Syntax, Spacemate, MXI, conducts comparative Town’s status quo explain process how scheme came about. The results found that proposals principles compactness, mixed land use diversity guidelines can effectively improve settlements. high settlement could be achieved by combining SUF-based UFI-based systems. assist optimise decision-making act paradigm or regeneration towns.
