摘   要:这项工作是正在进行的关于城市结构对阿尔及利亚Bejaia市公共广场影响研究的一部分。本文将研究城市结构的配置与城市公共广场的使用和吸引力之间的关系。基于空间句法理论,城市空间形态对人的运动模式(贯穿运动空间或贯穿运动空间)有极大的影响,本研究进一步探讨了广场的空间运用与城市结构嵌入的句法特性之间的关系。为了达到这一目标,本文采取了定性和定量两种方法。定性方法的基础是通过建立行为图对两个公共广场进行现场观察,并进行半结构访谈。定量分析则基于空间句法的方法,涉及到句法和同分异构体的性质。该研究使用深度地图进行计算。本文将会介绍调查过程和案例研究的结果,结果表明,在Bejaia城市中,公共广场的使用除了功能特性外,还很大程度上依赖于城市结构的句法特性。



Abstract:This work is part of an ongoing research on the impact of urban structure on public squares in Bejaia city (Algeria). This paper will investigate the relationship between the configuration of the urban structure and the use and attractiveness of public squares in Bejaia city. Assuming, from space syntax theory, that urban space configuration extremely effects people’s movement patterns (through-movement space or to-movement space), this study is then carried out to find the correlation between the spatial use of squares and the syntactic properties of the urban structure in which they are embedded. To achieve this goal, the document relies on two approaches: qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative approach is based on the in-situ observation of two public squares by establishing behavioural maps, and on semi-structured interviews. While for the quantitative one, it is based on the method of space syntax concerning the syntactic and isovist properties. The study uses calculations using Depthmap. This paper will present the investigation process and the results of the case study, which show that the use of public squares in Bejaia city depends strongly on the syntactic properties of the urban structure in which each square is embedded, besides its functional properties.
