“…This study also showed that a spatial analysis method such as space syntax in dormitories allows testing whether the buildings are appropriate in terms of post-pandemic stage. In other post-pandemic studies using space syntax, Li and Psarra ( 2022 ) present museums, Garau and Annunziata ( 2022 ) present public spaces, and Khotbehsara et al ( 2022 ) present suggestions and opinions on the spatial organization of public health centers. Similar to the studies in the literature, this article shows that the space syntax is a very powerful method for spatial analysis.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic affected the education system, causing distance learning in most parts of the world. Thanks to the rapid vaccination, face-to-face instruction started again, university students returned to colleges, and dormitories were again used. To respond to the changing living conditions and ensure a healthy indoor environment, strategies for pandemic-resistant and flexible design of dormitories have been discussed, which is the focus of this article. To achieve this goal, state dormitories in Turkey, their current condition, and functional/ technical solutions were studied in detail using a four-stage methodology developed with this study, and their adaptation potential for new flexible and pandemic-resistant designs in the post-pandemic world was discussed. The research results showed that the case dormitory is unlikely to adapt to pandemic conditions in terms of pandemic resilience, flexibility, and Turkey Covid-19 Guidelines and that the methodology has the potential to be applicable to the evaluation of similar buildings.

“…A total of 1986 existing metadata files were returned when utilizing the search term (based on space syntax in open spaces). However, only seven of the returned files were characterized as being studies related to the topic addressed in this study [23,[29][30][31][32][33][34], the utilization of space syntax in the evaluation of flows in environments with open paths aimed at pedestrian activities (Figure 2).…”

“…In order to accomplish this, a bibliographical analysis of the following perceptions was performed: space syntax, and flow in urban environments and space syntax in closed built systems. The space syntax in open spaces deals with the analysis carried out in paths through a direct analysis of the urban project, aimed at user circulation in virtual spaces [23,[29][30][31][32][33][34]. The space syntax in closed spaces deals with the analysis of the flow of users in the internal environments of buildings, with the purpose of a direct analysis of the efficiency of flows in the architectural design of a given space [5][6][7][8].…”

Space syntax is utilized to model flows through open and closed built environments, which enables project innovation by rethinking the design of spaces on a global scale with better flow quality. Therefore, studies focused on spatial syntax, when related to comprehensive flows in open and closed spaces, provide a holistic and valuable understanding of the dynamics of user flows in the urban environment from a perspective centered on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11. This goal requires urban planners and designers to use approaches that support future decisions focused on urban design and planning. The object of investigation of this bibliographic study consists of an approach to representing space syntax in open spaces and closed spaces on a global scale. This study aims to analyze the concepts of pedestrian flows (open and closed) by a space syntax-based bibliographical approach on a global scale, demonstrating the capability of improvements in SDG 11 as applied to the architecture of sustainable flows. Methodologically, bibliographic searches were carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method in databases linked to Scopus and ScienceDirect, focusing on space syntax in relation to the following terms: “open spaces” and “closed spaces”. Using the PRISMA method, 1986 manuscripts dealing with the term “open spaces” and 454 manuscripts dealing with the term “closed spaces” were identified, with the manuscripts most relevant to the topic being selected, followed by a frequency analysis based on a Content Analysis Method (CAM) to identify words with a degree of similarity, related to “spatial syntax: flow in urban environments” and “spatial syntax in closed built systems” in relation to the SDG 11. The results demonstrate the relevance of seven manuscripts in open spaces and four manuscripts in closed spaces related to space syntax. Frequency analysis identified open spaces and produced terms with frequencies such as space = 79 and shape = 46, showing a higher frequency in flows. In closed spaces, the literature has shown that the central term corresponds to space = 79 and flow = 76, making it possible to evaluate flows in circulation areas within the built environment. This study allows a better understanding of flows, highlighting the importance of the urban architecture in the functionality of user flows in sustainable environments, which is capable of contributing to the SDG 11, in the interface of architectural projects on a global scale.

“…The second is the operational relationship between the usability and the system of paths and nodes, the structure of the built-up area, urban green infrastructure, land use and transportation systems. Third, recognition and formalization of the effects of system configuration paths and nodes on movement patterns within the region [28]. The land use of the area is indicated by the district and edges elements, namely the majority are trading activities, which can be seen from the configuration of shops and kiosks.…”

Revitalization efforts showed a “new image”, namely as a resilient economic area, able to withstand environmental changes, safe and comfortable, which was part of sustainable development in urban areas. Semarang has been a trading city since the colonial era. One of the famous trading areas in Semarang is the Johar market district. The district has historical value. Up to now, this area is the largest traditional market in Semarang city. The Johar market building is one of the cultural heritage buildings in Semarang. There was such a big open space called Aloon-Aloon, near the Johar market. A big mosque, Kauman Grand Mosque, lies near the open space. The open space and the mosque have historical value in Semarang’s socio-cultural life. In May 2015, a big fire destroyed the buildings of Johar and Yaik markets. The building was reconstructed and renovated becoming a new Johar Market. In accordance with Aloon-Aloon’s concept, the former Yaik Market site was returned to be a public open space adapting to the current environmental and social conditions of society. In early 2022, the new market and the new public open space have been operated. This paper aims to describe images of the new Johar and Aloon-Aloon district. The paper implements a qualitative descriptive method for describing the current condition and using the theory of place related to the image of the district. The analysis utilizes pictures, and diagrams and is supported by the interview with the stakeholders. The results are a description of the new Johar – Aloon-Aloon district.
