Research on the historical evolution of urban street morphology under the background of big data and Internet of Things

Abstract

With the advent of the era of Industry 4.0, big data and the Internet of Things came into being. The rise of big data and the Internet of Things has had an impact on all walks of life. The development of big data and the Internet of Things provides an opportunity for the evolution of street form. With the rapid development of smart cities, the street shape is also changing more and more towards the direction of intelligence. Taking Chunxi Road in Chengdu as an example, this paper studies the generation mechanism of street morphology. The factors influencing the generation of street form are divided into two categories: (1) legal factors. (2) Architectural design factors. By building a model, the article quantitatively analyzes the impact of these two types of factors on street form. At the same time, the article conducts an in-depth study on the evolution of ancient Chinese street morphology. The ancient Chinese street form is divided into four stages, namely the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Late Qing Dynasty, and the founding of New China. The influencing factors of street shape are divided into four categories, namely, the influence of commodity economy, the influence of foreign culture, the influence of building materials, and the influence of traffic. This paper elaborates the influence mechanism of these four factors on the street form in China. The article finally puts forward the development trend of my country’s future street form, and points out that the evolution of my country’s street form will develop in the direction of intelligence, and intelligent transportation, intelligent garbage classification system, etc. will be applied. The number of brick-and-mortar stores in my country’s street layout may decrease.

A Study on Tourist Satisfaction Based on the Conservation and Reuse of Alleyway Spaces in Urban Historic Neighborhoods

“…After a century of development since the mid-19th century, various charters and laws gradually emerged, accompanied by the emergence of various preservation theories. Scholars both domestically and abroad have shown two common trends in the research and practice of historical cultural neighborhoods: the preservation trend has shifted from the original focus on updating and developing the protection of historical neighborhoods and exploring the spatial forms [20,21], texture [22], and structure [23] of historical neighborhoods at the material environmental level to the regional studies of urban memory [24], regional culture [25,26], historical streets and alleys [27], and regionally oriented research on cultural environmental aspects and humancentered non-material aspects, emphasizing cultural heritage. In terms of preservation methods, an increasing number of scholars are using visualization analysis software for more accurate quantitative assessments, guiding the renewal and activation of historical cultural neighborhood spaces.…”
