“…Therefore, this method can identify the physical and relational properties of space. However, it analyzes an organically growing city not as a transforming entity, but with static, deterministic, and linear perspectives that are unable to address the impact of locations with temporalized and dynamic activities [41]. Thus, in this study, the space syntax method was utilized only for a patchwork to analyze social phenomena in the city.…”

Changes in consumer purchasing patterns in South Korea in the 1990s led to a gradual decline in traditional markets. However, Yukgeori Market, a representative and unique traditional market in the city of Cheongju, has survived and continued to develop while maintaining the physical and operational characteristics of a traditional market. There is a lack of studies on the revitalization of traditional markets in non-metropolitan areas outside of Seoul in Korea. Thus, this study has identified the characteristics of the spatial configurations that foster the vitality of traditional markets by analyzing the attributes of the spaces based on their accessibility in the street network of Cheongju, and especially in the neighborhood surrounding Yukgeori Market. This was done by calculating the depths of the nodes in the network using a spatial analytical model. The results showed that long streets with a high public level (integration), which attract people and act as a communication bridge between highly modernized commercial areas and traditional markets as well as a boundary to preserve and develop a market’s traditional characteristics, can lead to the sustainable development of both types of area.

“…The visibility, accessibility, and interconnectedness of these boundaries (space syntax) (Steen & Markhede, ) contribute to the level of architectural privacy afforded. Specifically, physical (and symbolic) boundaries that users perceive and encounter in a setting and how they occupy and move through space (Bafna, ; see also Netto, ) affect individual and group privacy.…”

“…Attempts to embed the temporal process in theorisations and methodologies for the study of cities' transformations requires an understanding of the structuration of space in time. Such attempts are discussed in theoretical and methodological debates (Baker 2003;Griffiths 2011;Netto 2016) and do exists in empirical studies (Griffiths 2009;Al-Sayed et al 2012;Charalambous & Geddes 2015), but remain limited and are still not fully developed and exploited.…”

This project was developed as an attempt to assess the relationship between different morphogenetic processes, in particular, those of fringe belt formation as described by M.R.G. Conzen (1960) and Whitehand (2001), and of centrality and compactness as described by Hillier (1999; 2002). Different approaches’ focus on different elements of the city has made it difficult to establish exactly how these processes interact or whether they are simply different facets of development reflecting wider socio-economic factors. To address this issue, a visual, chronological timeline of Limassol’s development was constructed along with a narrative of the socio-economic context of its development. The complexity of cities, however, makes static visualisations across time difficult to read and assess alongside textual narratives. We therefore took the step of developing an animation of land use and configurational analyses of Limassol, in order bring to life the diachronic analysis of the city and shed light on its generative mechanisms. The video presented here shows that the relationship between the processes mentioned above is much stronger and more complex than previously thought. The related paper explores in more detail the links between fringe belt formation as a cyclical process of peripheral development and centrality as a recurring process of minimisation of gains in distance. The project’s outcomes clearly show that composite methods of visualisations are an analytical opportunity still little exploited within urban morphology. References Conzen, M.R.G., 1960.
