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.

The Syntax of Spatial Transformation and Ethnic Conglomeration: How has ethnicity and language shaped Singapore's urban morphological structure today?
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
This paper intends to prove that the underlying spatial logic of central Singapore has been shaped by the evolving ethnic discourse, and by extension, language.

The role of subjective perceptions and objective measurements of the urban environment
in explaining house prices in Greater London: A multi-scale urban morphology analysis
using space syntax
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
House prices have long been considered to be closely related to the built environment of
cities. The hedonic house price model is a well-known theoretical model that
encompasses four dimensions: house structure attributes, location attributes,
neighbourhood attributes and environmental attributes. In recent years, some scholars
have used the urban morphology research tool space syntax instead of location attributes
to study the built environment's impact on house prices at multiple scales. At the same
time, subjective perception analysis of cities using street view images as a database has
become a popular research trend in recent years and is considered to impact house
prices.
This study investigates the impact of subjective urban perceptions on house prices in
combination with other objective urban elements at multiple scales of urban morphology.
In particular, subjective urban perceptions were assessed through street images, where
a perception survey based on 300 street images was conducted among the population,
and the results were subsequently used to build a machine learning model to predict
street perception scores for areas around house price points across Greater London. The
integration and choice values analyse the multi-scale urban morphology in the space
syntax, combined with a number of other functional variables, to create the hedonic house
price model, which is then placed in the OLS regression model for analysis.
The final results indicate that the impact of subjective perception on house prices is
second only to location attributes and higher than neighbourhood attributes and house
structure attributes. There is considerable differentiation in the impact at multiple scales
of urban morphology. In the global analysis, subjective perceptions have a greater impact
in the micro-scale urban morphology, which is higher than the location attributes, and a
more negligible impact in the macro-scale urban morphology, which is lower than the
location attributes, with 'enclosure' and 'sense of comfort' being more important than the
other perception variables in influencing house prices. In the analysis of the four local
areas, the study reveals that local urban form has a greater impact on house prices in the urban centres than in the city's peripheral areas, while the opposite trend is observed for
the subjective perception variables.
