Mapping the Transformation Potential of Streets Using Urban Planning Parameters and Open Spatial Datasets

Streets with an increasingly important place function play a significant role in the contemporary discourse on sustainable cities. The paper addresses urban streets that, observed from planning perspective, have potential to be transformed into either commercial or residential shared streets. After defining parameters identified as characteristic of streets, were quantified based analysis existing Central Europe. By setting up distinctive scenarios that could help detect specific types open spatial datasets used for mapping and identification methodology was tested example city Maribor Slovenia. results research show selected can identify transformation potential, whereas basic parameters, such building use length width street, us better understand fabric which street spaces acquire new functions. presented method serve testing tool experts, planners, decision-makers, interested public transformations.
