摘   要:城市中心是经济活动和人的界面,代表着多样性,随着时间的推移,多样性可能会增加或减少。本文从城市形态的自然运动理论、运动经济理论和空间中心性理论三个方面对城市化进程的支持和阻碍因素进行了综述。然后,提出了两个研究问题,以解释城市化的形态逻辑和全球移动网格对本地自然移动的影响,这是支持城市内每个本地社区增长和下降的关键因素。选定的案例研究是全球和地方层面的Nakhon Si Thammarat老城,并选择了空间句法理论进行分析。结果表明,全球移动网格的空间格局对城市化和局部自然移动的影响最大。因此,局部公共空间的设计必须支持由自然运动滋养、受全局形态结构影响的全球运动网格。


Abstract:An urban centre acts as the interface of economic activities and people and represents diversity, which can grow or decline over time. Here, we review the literature to explain the factors supporting and obstructing urbanisation based on three theories on urban morphology: theory of natural movement, theory of movement economy and theory of spatial centrality. Two research questions were then formulated to explain the morphological logic of urbanisation and the influence of the global movement grid on local natural movement, which are key factors supporting the growth and decline of each local neighbourhood within the city. The selected case study was Nakhon Si Thammarat Old Town at the global and local levels and the space syntax theory was chosen for analysis. The results indicated that the spatial configuration of the global movement grid influence urbanisation and local natural movement the most. Therefore, local public spaces must be designed to support the global movement grid, which is fed by natural movement and influenced by the global morphological structure.
