Study On The Spatial Layout Of Residential Areas From The Perspective Of Walkable

The effect of the built environment on inhabitants’ health has steadily gained attention in the field of urban design,with everyday walking behaviour proving to be beneficial to residents’ health.Walking is grouped into three forms in the subject of urban design: utilitarian walking,leisure walking,and exercise walking.The design of the residential area,as the major space for inhabitants to dwell,has a significant impact on residents’ walking behaviour and is strongly linked to residents’ health.Many studies have been done on pedestrian friendliness,but more research is needed at the spatial level of residential neighbourhoods.The spatial layout of residential neighbourhoods is chosen as the research object in this work,and the impact of the capital’s functional core region on inhabitants’ walking behaviour is investigated using modelling and simulation.There are five chapters in all.The first chapter begins with an introduction.Describes the research background,research content,goal,importance,and current state of research at home and abroad.The second chapter is a theoretical review.This chapter examines the history of urban design theories and practises related to walking-friendliness,sorts out and briefly analyses the theories and stages of development related to walking-friendliness,and summarises and briefly analyses current policies,guidelines,and evaluation tools related to walking-friendliness.Model construction is covered in the third chapter.On the basis of pedestrianity-related ideas,this chapter investigates the relationship between walkability and residential areas in greater depth and highlights the influencing variables of walking in residential areas.Walking entrances,road networks,and public activity space are the three key variables influencing inhabitants’ walking behaviour in residential district spatial plan.The agent simulation model creation technique was chosen after researching current model construction methods and software to better comprehend the idea of the agent model and give a theoretical foundation for model construction and pedestrian simulation.Modeling research is covered in Chapter 4.This chapter explores and analyses the space and inhabitants’ behaviour of the residential communities in the functional core area of the Capital,based on data collection,questionnaire survey,and data analysis of the residential communities and their occupants in the functional core area.To design the model framework and simulate the research,the residential areas in the core region were categorised according to the research needs,and 12 representative residential areas covering diverse construction eras,building kinds,and spatial arrangement types were selected.The influence of the three aspects on residents’ walking behaviour was evaluated and summarised based on the simulation results of the three elements of residential district spatial layout.Summary of Chapter 5.This chapter summarizes the study and introduces the paper’s innovation,flaws,and future potential.To summarize,this paper aims to clarify the theory and research process of walking-friendly thought,the impact of residential district spatial layout on residents’ walking behavior,and the relationship between residential district spatial layout and residents’ walking behavior through model construction.A simulation research on typical residential areas in the capital functional core region was done to give a reference for improving the spatial quality of residential areas in the capital functional core area.
