Bill Hillier’s Legacy: Space Syntax—A Synopsis of Basic Concepts, Measures, and Empirical Application

“…The robust methodological foundation of space syntax is the existence of a correlation between pedestrian movement, vehicular movement, and the configuration of the spatial layout [15,16]. Space syntax is applied at many scales, from the arrangement of interior spaces [3,6,[31][32][33] to large metropolitan areas [34][35][36][37][38]. Space syntax research ranges from anthropology and cognitive and social sciences to applied mathematics and informatics and has even touched upon philosophical issues.…”

Appearances of the Recomposition of Urban Spaces in Algerian Cities, Modern Urban Transformations and New Morphology. An Applied Study in the City of Khenchela

“…The morphology of the city is also known as an indication of describing the city's shape, appearance, external structure and urban fabric on the one hand, and determining the patterns of land uses and following up on the population changes that occur in those uses and their development on the other hand (Al-Moussaoui, 2011). and many researchers considered it as A study of the logic of production and change of ancient buildings through the mechanisms of formation, development and change of urban tissue (CANIGGIA, 1994), where in the event of rapid urbanization with poor control of land use, pressure increases on cities to receive new residents, who are generally concentrated in the suburbs, which affects the urban shape of cities and It causes urban sprawl as a result of low-density sprawl and weakens the urban core (Venter,Mahendra, &Lionjanga, 2021), and results in the emergence of social distancing (Moos et al, 2015), and encourages the movement of vehicles instead of pedestrians (Hidayati, Yamu, & Tan, 2021), so a plan for growth should be made that allows the city to envisage spaces that could become a secondary city center (Jamal 2018). Based on the above, we conclude that the process of recomposition spatial is necessary in all urban areas, which differ from one urban area to another, and during this process urban transformations occur, which in turn lead to changes in the urban form.…”

Empirical Data Collection and Analysis, and Connecting Data with Space Syntax

“…Table 5.1 depicts a coding example of interviews conducted in Kuala Lumpur on transport policies and mobility inequality (Hidayati et al 2021). Connected to space syntax research about mobility inequality in Jakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Hidayati et al 2019(Hidayati et al , 2020(Hidayati et al , 2021, Table 5.1 shows an extraction of expert interviews and Fig. 5.18 the mapping and frequencies of codes of primary qualitative data.…”
