An Adaptive Synthesized Analysis Tool for
Measurement of Urban Morphology:
Combining Space Syntax, Spacematrix, and
Mixed-use Index
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
To help designers and planners better
understand the composition and spatial
context of planning sites, a GIS-based
synthesized tool combining qualitative and
quantitative methods is adaptively
developed based on the Form Syntax tool
to take accessible OpenStreetMap and
Ordnance Survey data and to provide
ordinal categorical assessment results of
high/medium/low degrees. The
morphological measurement tool is
assembled within the qualitative
framework proposed by J. Jacobs with
advanced quantitative methods measuring
street configuration using betweenness of
Space Syntax method, building density and
typology using FSI, GSI of Spacematrix
method, and functional mixture using MXI
(mixed-use index). The approach is
validated with regression analyses focusing
on relationship between morphological
elements and urban vitality through a
comparison to recent researches through
the case study of London. The analysis
results reflected on map series suggest the
existence of ring-structure gradient of
building density, and typology in the study
area and the association among
morphological elements. The synthesized method has proved the capacity of
diagnostic function for block-level urban
design and spatial context analysis of
urban planning and redevelopment
projects. This research deploys a threedimensional
lens through the
decomposition and synthesis, providing a
relationship-prioritized perspective to
investigate the complexity of urban
environments and the interaction with
socio-economic performance.
