“…Studies of Malaysian streets establish that building facades are significant urban visual elements that reflect its urban identity (Askari and Soltani, 2018). This is because meanings arise when this social process occurs; the interaction of the community with the built environment (Suprapti and Iskandar, 2020; Mishra and Kolay, 2019; Parsaee et al. , 2015; El-Torky, 2018; Emiyagil and Akter, 2018; Permatasari, 2018; Heryati and Rachmawati, 2017).…”

“…Like the outer surfaces of the urban structure, the public's perception of the built environment is predominantly influenced by the architectural symbols through the facades (Askari and Dola, 2009). Likewise, numerous researchers upon determining the meanings and concepts formed by the physical attributes of the architecture include these visual elements (Suprapti and Iskandar, 2020; Mishra and Kolay, 2019; Parsaee et al. , 2015; El-Torky, 2018; Emiyagil and Akter, 2018; Permatasari, 2018; Heryati and Rachmawati, 2017): Architectural Typology, Building Configuration (Scale and Shape); Façade Texture and Material; Colour; Ornaments and Details; Fenestration; and Signages.…”

“…Whereby the urban space belongs to the superstructure (physical attributes) and the geographical space (context) is the representation of its spatial functions that socially define the role of the space. These processes formed through the interaction of people and the built environment work symbiotically to define the urban's character (Suprapti and Iskandar, 2020; Mishra and Kolay, 2019; Parsaee et al. , 2015; El-Torky, 2018; Emiyagil and Akter, 2018; Permatasari, 2018; Heryati and Rachmawati, 2017) and are categorised as follows: Social Aspects, Social Role, Economic Aspects, Political Aspects, Status, Cultural Aspects, Ideology – production of space, Tradition and Customs, Beliefs and Ideals.…”

PurposeIn the face of urbanisation, there has been prior and current discourse on the gradual thinning out of street identities. Particularly, the diasporic identity of streets such as Petaling Street (Chinatown) has received increasing attention due to diverse development and gentrification plans for the purpose of tourism and urban development. Current and future urban development plans of Kuala Lumpur have led to the need to analyse Petaling Street's identity. Taking this as a point for departure, this paper aims to analyse the contemporary diasporic identity of Petaling street in the face of rapid urbanisation. While there have been studies that addressed Petaling Street's identity, the focus has been from social, cultural and perceptual perspectives which relates to the intangible aspect of place. Taking an alternative stance, this paper studies the contemporary meaning of Petaling Street through the visual communication of facades.Design/methodology/approachAdapting from Odgen–Richard and Parsaee, semiotics, or the study of signs and symbols, is applied as both theoretical and methodological concept to draw meanings. It examines the visual communication of the cultural products that have evolved from the social processes in shaping the street character. Particularly, this paper examines the street identities by studying the contestation of urban sign and symbols of selected street facades.FindingsThe findings reinforced the contestation of identities in Petaling street, with key signifiers of signages, ornament and colour being physical aspects that contest a sense of Chinese-ness. The functional meaning portrayed by the facades due to social, political and economic factors led to the contestations of meaning formed by society that has left the street in a state of irrelevant and unfamiliarity.Practical implicationsIt calls to action for retention of significant urban elements of street facades to prevent further diminution of diasporic meanings which characterise Petaling Street as a whole in the process of urbanisation.Originality/valueIt provides basis to understand the contemporary identity and values of Petaling Street and the shift in meanings that has left the street in a state of irrelevant and unfamiliarity. This can prevent further diminution of diasporic meanings which characterise Petaling Street as a whole in the process of urbanisation.

“…Therefore, as a source factor that affects the vitality of street space and economic benefits, visual attraction begins to enter the field of academic research.Visual attraction has changed from a little-noticed behavior in the past to a new direction in academic research.From the current studies, researchers mainly try to construct the basic methods of spatial visual quality evaluation of commercial streets from different perspectives.For example, the visual attraction behavior of commercial streets is evaluated from three aspects of subjective, objective and visual influencing factors [9] .Provide design guidance through perceptual visual quality and detailed mapping of key elements in the street [10] ;Based on the characteristics of visual attraction behavior, the lighting design elements and requirements of commercial streets are discussed [11] .By collecting the data of the impact of street scenery on street space, the visual perception quality was evaluated [12] .A user-centered visual evaluation of the facades in the streets of historic blocks [13] ;Based on Street View image analysis, the visual quality of street space is scored [14] , etc.…”

Commercial streets play an essential role in urban public life, and their appearance constitutes an important visual attraction, which can attract people to form high-quality and active public spaces. However, in the traditional design analysis methods, limited by the existing evaluation tools, the key content of visual attractiveness analysis under dynamic conditions has rarely been paying attention to. Given this, this research adopts both objectivity and real-time eye movement perception technology to construct an evaluation method based on dynamic visual attractiveness-through the application of virtual reality technology to construct a virtual scene of a typical commercial street and detect the user's actions in it Eye movement at a time and physiological parameters such as the number of fixation points, fixation duration, and pupil diameter changes.This paper takes the main commercial street in Huanggaihu Town in Hubei Province of China as an example to analyze the visual attraction caused by different design methods.Therefore, from the four aspects of material, shape, line, and vegetation, design suggestions for the reasonable distribution of visual attractiveness in the commercial street space design are proposed to provide useful enlightenment for the vast towns' commercial street space design.
