Mastering the relationship between urban landmarks and space morphology in planning, landscape architectural design helps maintain intelligibility of compact districts. The objective present study was to numerically determine structural salience various an environment use it interpret city. Combining measurement method 3D visibility related principles syntax, this develops a new Node–Landmark G...

Some questions about space syntaxöa well-known technique of urban analysis developed over the past decades by Bill Hillier et alöwere raised by Ratti in this journal. Hillier and Penn produced a detailed rejoinder, rebutting most of the criticisms and restating the assumptions made by the technique. However, their arguments, if accepted, lead to paradoxical consequences. DOI:10.1068/b3019b Figu...

Ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations are regularly measured at only two monitoring stations in the city centre of Ljubljana, and such scanty data are inadequate for drawing conclusions about spatial patterns of pollution within the city, or to decide on effective measures to further improve air quality. In order to determine the spatial distribution of NO2 concentrations in different t...

Three-dimensional (3D) representation and visualization of city environments are employed in an increasing number of applications from the areas of urban planning, city marketing, tourism, facility management and emergency response. Presently, existing 3D city models are scattered over different public and private sections in different models, different data formats, and different levels of det...

New Urbanism design principles have been adopted for many urban planning efforts in recent years. The purpose of this paper is studding the structure and space of Shahid Beheshti Square as one of the most important and old squares of Tabriz from the view of new urbanism principals. In order to reaching this purpose the data were collected through a questionnaire distributed among peoples that a...

the space structure that governs cities has depended on several corresponding relations and various factors which consist of: population, job and activities, transportation patterns, urban sub-structures, various services and etc that always were connected to each other and have formed its space structure. but since these relations are more complicated in big cities, the importance of paying at...

Existing generative mobility models, used to produce mobility data for simulated agents in, e.g., wireless network simulations, suffer from a number of limitations. Most significantly, existing models are not representative of actual human movement. We introduce a new mobility model based on state-of-the-art work in understanding pedestrian mobility patterns in urban areas, known as Space Synta...

Promotion of urbanization is one of characteristics of current societies that in their evolutionary trend results in establishment of megalopolis and brings the complex urban management in these huge population centers every day, together with new difficulties. Urban environmental problems, providing public and security services, green space and city fa�ade, urban economic problems, informing, ...
