The Impact

Many studies have been conducted to measure the experiential qualities of historical streets using the standards and principles released by many global organizations. However, little attention has been paid to the effect of spatial characteristics of historical heritage. This study proposes a space syntax-based methodology, first developed by Bill Hillier and Julienne Hanson with colleagues from the Bartlett School of Architecture, while introducing factors such as complexity, coherence, ‘mystery’, and legibility from the work of environmental psychologist Stephen Kaplan and the urban designer Gordon Cullen. Our intention is to help inform urban designers in understanding people’s spatial cognition of historical streets, and thereby assist designers and managers in identifying where cognitive experiences can be improved. The proposed method is applied to Nanxun, which is a developed canal town currently in decline in Zhejiang Province, China. This will be treated as the case study in order to explore the implication of the space syntax analysis. The impact from spatial characteristics on the evaluation is indirect and largely determined by the road-network of the canal town. As for Nanxun, the findings of this research suggest that the government’s priority is to solve current negative tourist perception based on a conservation restoration plan. The findings of this research provide a reference for policymakers to better understand the experiential qualities of historical streets in townscapes.

Space Syntax Analysis

According to the international technical standards, higher lighting levels (luminance and illuminance levels) are expected in trafficked and central roads (where restrictive minimum lighting requirements are necessary) and lower lighting levels are expected in peripheral and less trafficked roads. Starting from this assumption, in this paper, the authors analyse the correlations between spatial properties (expressed by spatial indicators, for example, the integration index and the choice index) and lighting levels (expressed by lighting parameters, for example luminance and illuminance) upon roads of an urban context. The analysis has been applied to the case study of the medium sized town of Pontedera (central Italy). From the obtained results, it has been possible to observe how the correlations between integration index and luminance and illuminance values are significant in the case of roads equipped with lighting systems able to satisfy the lighting requirements established by the regulations. The presence of the discussed correlations lays the foundation for a change in the lighting design approach on urban scale, being able to set lighting requirements on the basis of space syntax results without the use of traditional methods of road classifications involving traffic volume estimations.

ABSTRACTThere are 10 criteria of world heritage sites that have been set by UNESSCO. The category is divided into two categories of cultural sites and natural sites. Area of Ancient Human Site in Sangiran is included in the category of cultural sites. Sangiran region has begun to develop since 2005. In 2012 the government to plan and develop on a large scale so that now the region currently has 5 museums with international standard. From this activity began to appear very significant changes to the region Sangiran. The growth of trade, settlements, tourism and service has influenced regional shape and form.To know the changes that occur in the region of Sangiran the studied used space syntax analysis method, which in its approach using a quantitative approach. The space syntax analysis method will be adjusted with the steps of configuration method. The analysis variables used are the characteristics of the region, the anatomy of the region and the blueprint of the expanse. Using various indicators such as scarcity, historicity and scientific value, and the road net. In conformity with the variables and indexes that have been brought up, is expected to produce research output in accordance with the title, the Form and Pattern of Ancient Site Site Sangiran, Sragen regency. The result of this study shows that Sangiran area tends to be fragmented cities, with space syntax R2 value of 0.012714 (intelligibility value). In addition, based on the pattern of development of the Sangiran region in the form of dispersing pattern. This is due to the development of homogeneous economic activities and parallel to the road network.Keywords : space syntax, determine, form and pattern, heritage site  ABSTRAK Terdapat 10 kriteria situs warisan dunia yang telah di tetapkan oleh UNESSCO dan dikatagorikan menjadi dua bagian yaitu katagori situs budaya dan situs alam. Kawasan Situs Manusia Purba yang ada di Sangiran ini termasuk dalam katagori situs budaya. Kawasan Sangiran mulai berkembang pada tahun 2005 kawasan ini hanya berdiri satu bangunan berbentuk joglo sehingga tidak berdampak besar di sekitar kawasan.  Pada  2012 pemerintah melakukan perencanaan dan pembangunan secara besar-besaran sehingga sekarang kawasan heritage ini telah memiliki 5 museum berstandar internasional. Dari kegiatan tersebut terjadi perubahan yang sangat signifikan terhadap kawasan pariwisata, permukiman, perdagangan dan jasa yang berpengaruh terhadap bentuk dan pola kawasan.Untuk mengetahui adanya perubahan di kawasan Sangiran, digunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode space syntax. Metode ini akan  menggunakan analisis space syntax dan disesuaikan dengan langkah-langkah metode konfigurasi. Variabel analisis yang digunakan adalah karakteristik wilayah, anatomi wilayah dan cetak biru hamparan. Menggunakan berbagai indikator seperti kelangkaan, historisitas dan nilai ilmiah, dan jaring jalan. Sesuai dengan variabel dan indeks yang telah dikemukakan, diharapkan dapat menghasilkan output penelitian sesuai dengan judul, Bentuk dan Pola Situs Situs Kuno Sangiran, Kabupaten Sragen. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa daerah Sangiran cenderung menjadi kota yang terfragmentasi, dengan nilai R2 sintaksis ruang 0,012714 (nilai kejelasan). Selain itu, berdasarkan pola perkembangan wilayah Sangiran dalam bentuk pola pendispersi. Hal ini disebabkan perkembangan kegiatan ekonomi yang homogen dan sejajar dengan jaringan jalan.Keywords : space syntax, determine, form and pattern, heritage site

In order to better identify the spatial influence between adjacent parts of road networks, the paper introduces the spatial autocorrelation theory in evaluating the operation performance of urban road networks. The research proposes several spatial correlation validation indicators to verify the spatial characteristics among the road networks. Based on the analysis of spatial characteristics, the relationship between operation performance and influencing factors under the impact of spatial effect is examined. Furthermore, a spatial autocorrelation based influence models at three traffic flow levels is developed by using the data from a partial urban road network in Beijing. The model analysis shows that the spatial autocorrelation model is more effective in analyzing the urban road network operation performance under the influence of various factors. This model will be beneficial in identifying traffic network problems and improving traffic operations of the urban road network.

Space Syntax Analysis

The road space is not solely reserved for the public interest. In some examples can also be used exclusively for the residents of a region that have been designed from the beginning or through some post-occupancy adjustments. In the case of the campus of Gadjah Mada University (UGM) area, there are road spaces that become public facilities that pushing the campus authority to create access modifications (by closing or fencing) for the security and/or privacy purposes. How much the level of security and privacy that is obtained, in this paper were analyzed using space syntax. Through its ability to analyze the quality of space connectedness, space syntax can be used to measure the level of security and privacy refers to a benchmark proposed by Reis (2003) uses the value of the integration space. Integration of road space that is worth the low/weak (RA and RRA = 1 or more) has a low level of security but more private. While the high-value/strong integration (RA close to 0 and RRA = 0.4 to 0.6) have a high level of security but less privacy. Through the obtained analysis; a large enough degree of privacy is achieved, especially in the area of Central Office/Rectorate Building and surrounding areas, however, it become unsafe due to the activity-deserted road space situation and lack of supervision.

Abstract:. Burangrang Urban Village is one of the densely populated residential areas in the center of Bandung. The density of settlements in the center of the city must be supported by the availability of social facilities to develop the social, economic, and cultural quality of the population. Nevertheless, the residential area still lacks an integrated social facility to accommodate the social activities of the community for the entire settlement. Social facilities have an important role to play in increasing the social values of the population by providing space for interaction. Such social facilities should be located in easily accessible areas to accommodate social interaction for all dispersed community settlements. This paper aims to determine the potential placement of social facilities to strengthen social interaction in the neighborhood of the burangrang urban village. The method used is qualitative method with explorative approach through space syntax analysis, to see the connectivity, integration and level of potential destinations of space that can be achieved by the settlement in the area. The data were taken by non-participant observation and secondary data related to the road network and its achievement from settlement in the area.Keyword: social facilities, housing, space syntax Abstrak: Wilayah Kelurahan Burangrang merupakan salah satu daerah pemukiman padat yang berada di tengah Kota Bandung. Padatnya permukiman di tengah kota tersebut harus didukung oleh ketersediaan fasilitas sosial untuk mengembangkan kualitas sosial, ekonomi, dan budaya penduduk. Meskipun begitu, wilayah pemukiman tersebut masih belum terdapat fasilitas sosial yang terintegrasi untuk mewadahi kegiatan sosial masyarakat untuk seluruh pemukiman tersebut. Fasilitas sosial memiliki peran penting untuk meningkatkan nilai-nilai sosial penduduk dengan menyediakan ruang untuk interaksi. Fasilitas sosial tersebut harus ditempatkan di area yang mudah dijangkau agar dapat mewadahi interaksi sosial untuk semua komunitas di pemukiman yang tersebar. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menentukan potensi penempatan fasilitas sosial untuk memperkuat interaksi sosial di lingkungan wilayah kelurahan burangrang. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan eksploratif melalui analisis space syntax, untuk melihat konektivitas, integrasi dan tingkat potensi destinasi ruang yang dapat digapai oleh pemukiman di area tersebut. Data diambil dengan cara observasi non-partisipan dan data sekunder terkait dengan jaringan jalan dan ketercapaiannya dari permukiman di wilayah tersebut.Kata Kunci: fasilitas sosial, pemukiman, space syntax
