I. Different environments, different models How can we formally model a built environment and capture the fundamental properties relevant to its inhabitants? Space syntax provides a set of rigorously defined techniques for describing spatial configurations like building interiors and urban squares—it appears to be a natural approach to use. Yet whether you chose to use an axial map, a visibilit...

There are many tourism cities in China and sustainable development of urban tourism has become an important field of tourism research. An ecological safety evaluation index system of tourism city was constructed. The evaluation index system was composed of resource, environmental, economic and social subsystem. Classification standard of evaluation indexes was discussed. Then an evaluation mode...

it is nowadays less likely to findcomprehensive historical areas, which can represent all the typical features of a historical urban environment. most historical urban spaces have undergone modernization and have inevitably ceased to function as they were originally devised to. however, successful experiences of urban space construction provethat modern urban areascan both meet the present day ...

Based on the concepts of isovists and medial axes, we developed a set of algorithms that can automatically generate axial lines for representing individual linearly stretched parts of open space of an urban environment. Open space is the space between buildings, where people can freely move around. The generation of the axial lines has been a key aspect of space syntax research, conventionally ...

lighting plays a key role in night escapes of urban spaces, in a way that it can be effective in giving identity to them. by considering this importance and inexistence of a process for composing urban lighting strategy made this study to be conducted by the objective of providing process for compilation of context-oriented lighting strategy in urban spaces. reaching a suitable solution for lig...

This research seeks to interrelate the spatial-temporal behaviour of tourists in historic centres urban destinations with evolution and configuration Urban Tourism Precincts, based on analysis tourist flows delimitation different areas. For this purpose, city Seville was used as a case study, since it is third destination Spain highest number visitors overnight stays per year. In terms methodol...

or, why space syntax works when it looks as though it shouldn't 0 Abstract A common objection to the space syntax analysis of cities is that even in its own terms the technique of using a non-uniform line representation of space and analysing it by measures that are essentially topological, ignores too much geometric and metric detail to be credible. In this paper it is argued that far from ign...

world travel and tourism council has estimated that contribution of tourism sector to global economy and employment will be increasing in the next 10 years. travel and tourism contributes to various areas of economy and tourism is accounted as one of most significant industries of 21st century. if countries provide the required capacity for development of tourism industry, they would be able to...

The present study attempts to investigate the relationship between spatial configuration changes of Qom and the central core in the last half century. The main objective of this study is to review the Spatial form of Qom, and analyze the effect of changes in Urban configuration on the central core of the city and the main axes of urban activities during 1946 to 2011 and ultimately, Forecast the...
