Urban square design with pedestrian approach based on space syntax method (Case study: Aysan project area of Tabriz)

Abstract

Pedestrianism and spending time in urban space is one of the most basic and necessary parts of human life, so that most human needs such as buying and selling, spending leisure time, etc. are removable in urban spaces. It is important to understand the components of urban space and their relation with the design of an urban square. Moreover, we assume in this article that all components of urban elements are directly or indirectly associated with each other. Our purpose is to create an integrated method using salingrose's theories and space syntax method to design an ideal urban square while expressing the effect of different parameters. In this integrated method, we transform the urban spaces into diagrams, and then analyze Salingrose theories and space syntax. In this research, we analyze the urban space in two parts, one as the whole area, which includes the access network in a specific radius and the second a site as a square. In the study of the field site, we promoted two types of methods to advance the research: first, the analysis by the method of space syntax and second, the configuration of the space of the field by the method of Salingrose' theories.
