The Study Of Urban Recreational Space Shape Based On Space Syntax

With the increasing urbanization of the country, recreation activities gradually become one of the ways to relieve stress. Urban recreation space is the carrier of the recreation activities, which belonging to urban space. It is very helpful to study recreation space shape for urban recreation space planning and layout. At present, most of the domestic researches on recreation space focus on the type of structure, evolution mechanism etc., which are based on the object of recreation space. Therefore there are few studies based on the space’s subjectivity. The researches on recreation space are using conceptual approach mostly. The researches starting from the main space for recreation space shape are very few. Space syntax is based on the spatial analysis of spatial cognition, which is used to study the relationship between space and people, society, focusing on interpretation of spatial configuration.Using space syntax provides technical support for the study of urban recreation space morphological studies from the perspective of spatial cognition, which allows us to examine the spatial extent of what we want to understand in a better way. This thesis introduces space syntax to serve as a more stable frame of reference and verification mechanisms. In this way, it can explain the phenomenon of urban spatial analysis, which brings a more systematic, objective and accurate research on urban recreation space shape.This thesis selects Xiamen Island as an empirical re search object, using space syntax to analyze its recreation space shape. Based on Xiamen’s maps, CAD software is used to draw axis maps, then put axis maps into depth map software. So we can analyze the results of charts, finally SPSS is used to analyze the data from axis maps. Then we draw the following conclusions:(1) In this thesis, due to natural conditions, the direction of a major expansion of Xiamen is to the north and east. Morphological development of recreation space is divided into three stages of development,1962to1985as the bud period,1985and2005is the development period, and from2005till now is the stable development period.(2) Based on2014Xiamen recreation space shape analysis, Xiamen recreation space is showing the relative concentration of the organic dispersion; Xiamen city formed a significant degree of integration center; portion of recreation space show high integration, but its recreation space is in poor shape; part of the recreation spots are far away from the core area, and has the limited appeal, which are difficult to develop.(3) In this thesis, the results from space syntax analysis show that Xiamen’s recreation space shape has good intelligibility, which means residents or visitors can get deeper overall urban recreation space information from observing the connectivity of recreation space through local area.(4) Due to the different regional recreation space heterogeneity, in order to explore the future development of the recreation industry in Xiamen, this thesis divides Xiamen into four blocks, makes space syntax analysis, and puts forward relevant proposals.Innovations of this thesis mainly in the following three aspects:(1)Domestic studies on urban recreation space shape are lack of quantification, and most of the studies are from objectivity aspects by conceptual approach. This thesis uses space syntax to quantitatively analyze spatial form of urban recreation from the perspective of subjectivity, which can provide references for the quantitative research of urban recreation space.(2)It is effective to use space syntax in urban planning, architecture and landscape areas. This thesis introduces spatial syntax to urban recreation space morphology analysis to reflect the inherent law of development, and to help predict future trends and to increase space syntax’s applications in urban recreation space shape.(3)Space Syntax urban shape is based on spatial cognition research methodology, which includes the main acts of perception, compatible with objectivity during the analysis of the main elements of the urban space. This thesis create a new perspective by using space syntax to study the urban recreation space shape.
