Decoding Near Synonyms in Pedestrianization Research: A Numerical Analysis and Summative Approach
Hisham Abusaada,
Abeer Elshater
Abstract:Pedestrianization is a significant discourse focus within urban planning and design research. However, the need for more clarity from the inconsistent use of near-synonym concepts or terms necessitates attention. This review article addresses this issue through a comprehensive analysis of synonym proliferation in pedestrian research, culminating in developing a robust “near synonymous toolkit” and “synonym selection framework”. Employing a linear snowball sampling technique, numerical analysis, and a qualitati… Show more
