A Structural Approach to Model Generalisation of an Urban Street Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a novel generalisation model for selecting characteristic streets in an urban street network. This model retains the central structure of a street network, it relies on a structural representation of a street network using graph principles where vertices represent named streets and links represent street intersections. Based on this representation, so-called connectivity graph, local and global measures are introduced to qualify the status of each individual vertex within the graph. Two streets selection algorithms based on these structural measures are introduced and implemented. The proposed approach is validated with a case study applied to a middle-sized Swedish city.

متن کاملThe Network Analysis of Urban Streets: a Dual Approach
The application of the network approach to the urban case poses several questions in terms of how to deal with metric distances, what kind of graph representation to use, what kind of measures to investigate, how to deepen the correlation between measures of the structure of the network and measures of the dynamics on the network, what are the possible contributions from the GIS community. In t...
متن کاملUrban neighborhood regeneration; Interpretive structural modeling of the factors affecting connected public spaces
Urban planning has emphasized quicker, lighter, and cheaper methods in recent years. According to urban studies, urban public spaces are valuable factors for urban neighborhood regeneration. Although, the concept of the network (connectivity in public spaces) is not new, and various authors and researchers had applied and adapted it to different areas of urban planning, it would be a new approa...
