Study On The Extent Of Spatial Coupling Between The Metro Site Area And Urban Activity Center

With the multidisciplinary view, on the basis of which spatial coupling of the subway stations and urban common centers is the vital assurance to optimize the coordination between the subway and urban space, to promote high effective use of the urban land and to create environment-friend pedestrian precinct, this paper expatiates theoretic solution, technology line and research findings based on the demonstration in Guangzhou of the quantification system which indicates the spatial coupling degree of the subway stations and urban common centers. The research findings based on the demonstration in Guangzhou include the spatial coupling development grade and data in different phases of the subway stations and urban common centers. Meanwhile, the research findings show how to improve the subway station in varied spatial coupling development grades, which provide operational data for the renovation and development of the stations along the Subway Line 1 in Guangzhou.This paper is composed of six chapters. Chapter One states the background, range, content and research method of the topic. Chapter Two summarizes some important concept and theory referring to the research. Chapter Three discusses the necessity of the spatial coupling of the subway stations and urban common centers, and the importance to set up the quantification system. Chapter Four analyzes some typical cities (Tokyo & HK) with spatial coupling and sets up the layer-analysis-based quantification system by combing the spatial coupling concept and summing up the evaluating elements that influence the spatial coupling. Chapter Five uses the quantification system and research data to calculate the spatial coupling grades of Subway Line 1 stations and urban common centers, classifies and evaluates the results, and choose the last two stations of least grades to explore their renovation and development methods from the view of the spatial coupling. Chapter Six recapitulates the research findings and proposes the follow-up research method.
