“…The configurational state of the urban system have been derived defining two different segment maps, in reference to a scenario composed only by the open spaces (SCN0) and a scenario implementing also the topological connection between lines due to the system of railway connections (SCN1). As described elsewhere [ 18 , 19 ], the configurational structure of Naples presents a set of critical lines where the highest values of integration and choice indexes polarize, so as to create what we call a central place. This kind of structure is almost the same in the two scenarios, although the distribution has significant local changes (Fig.…”

“…Since the system of railway connection directly affects the topological structure of urban areas, the analysis will be carried out evaluating the impact of such a network on the correlation among the distribution of house prices and configurational indexes, following a methodological approach described in the following section. Moreover, moving from the common idea that a railway plays in two different domains, which are the accessibility yet introduced (the topological impact of the railway as a network) and the urban form and other externalities (the impact of the railway as a set of stations on the urban area where they lean), the paper will explore also the hypothesis of expanding the purely quantitative approach with a quali-quantitative approach based on the integration of ontology and configurational analysis [ 7 , 9 , 19 ]. This hypothesis will be discussed in the last section.…”

In the collective imagination there are masterminds speculating on real estate and so defining the “price of the buildings” in a sort of transposition in reality of Hands over the city plot. Although it is not the case, the distribution of prices in the contemporary city is a big deal for policy-makers and urban planners as well. Especially in metropolitan areas, where polarization of services is needed, the high complexity of urban scenarios makes the prediction of price variation due to change in the morphology or in the offer of services (for example in transportation and accessibility) very unreliable, despite of the success of policy and planning actions is strictly related to its control. This paper, moving in this perspective, points out some evidences on the relationships between the quali-quantitative structure of the city and the fluctuation of real estate prices with reference to house market, under the idea of investigating what is the role of urban railway stations. As a matter of fact, railway stations are nodes of the transport network as well places of the urban environment whose big impact on accessibility in the city and the corresponding contribution in the definition of property values is very intuitive. The findings on the effects of railway stations on property values are mixed, since they vary on magnitude and direction. This paper focuses on the comparison of the impact of urban railway stations on the residential estate property values as well on the structure of the city in itself, grasped in terms of configurational state. To this aim, the paper proposes a case study, evaluating how the correlation among configurational indexes and residential values distribution varies with and without the presence of the railway system. The main findings of the work make to arise a marginal or negative impact of the railway system, so as to promote the idea that other factors dominates the change in local property values around railway stations. Finally, the authors proposes the integration of ontologies and configurational analysis to define a methodological framework able to explain the state of residential estate market.

“…Space syntax analysis is suitable both for pedestrian and vehicular traffic forecasting while recent studies are even aimed at extending its validity to generic variables such as land use, property or financial rents, noise pollution [37,38]. It must be underlined that more modelling problems appear with the vehicular traffic.…”

Space Syntax Analysis Applied to Urban Street Lighting: Relations between Spatial Properties and Lighting Levels

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.

“…The paper A configurational approach based on geographic information systems to support decision-making process in real estate domain by Di Pinto and Rinaldi (2018) is framed in the context of real estate values distribution in the study of urban phenomena (Rinaldi 2009). The authors propose a quantitative GIS-based method to prove the existence of a strong correlation between the configurational concept of multi-scalar centrality (Cataldo et al 2015), the configurational indexes of the lines of an urban system and the values of the real estate market.…”
