Abstract
Although many methods of spatial analysis have been developed for a better understanding and modelling of urban space analysis, there is still a need for exploration of new analytical techniques for modelling urban spaces. Space Syntax models the spatial configurations of urban spaces by using a connectivity graph representation. Such a configuration of space identifies patterns that can be used to study urban structures and human behaviors. This paper tries to present a new methodology to investigate the urban spatial structure by using Space Syntax with the GIS information including land use, buildings’ characteristics and practical evaluations of the potential of the Space Syntax approach with GIS and multivariate analysis technique. Finally we try to offer some recommendations that attempt to improve the identified problems faced in Kitakyushu, Japan.
Highlights
Nowadays, a number of cities have been experiencing serious problems in their city centers mostly from urban sprawl, decline of CBD and population decrease and aging

This study explored the combination of Space Syntax theory and GIS database to analysis the spatial characteristics of the center areas of Kitakyushu, Japan
Summary
A number of cities have been experiencing serious problems in their city centers mostly from urban sprawl, decline of CBD and population decrease and aging. The results of spatial configuration analysis in Granada show that there are great differences inside the service area of the district parks, providing a new point of view to the space-time measures These differences make a public space more integrated or visible than others into a quarter, district or city. Such a configuration of space identifies patterns that can be used to study urban structures and human behaviors Based on those pervious researches, this paper tries to present a new methodology to investigate the urban spatial structure by using Space Syntax with the GIS information including land use, buildings’ characteristics and practical evaluations of the potential of the Space Syntax approach with GIS and multivariate analysis technique. We try to offer some recommendations that attempt to improve the identified problems in Kitakyushu, Japan
