Integrating Streetscape Images, Machine Learning, and Space Syntax to Enhance Walkability: A Case Study of Seongbuk District, Seoul

Land, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(10), P. 1591 - 1591

Published: Sept. 30, 2024

As urbanization rapidly progresses, streets have transitioned from mere transportation corridors to crucial spaces for daily life and social interaction. While past research has examined the impact of physical street characteristics on walkability, there is still a lack large-scale quantitative assessments. This study systematically evaluates walkability in Seongbuk District, Seoul, through integration streetscape images, machine learning, space syntax. The were extracted analyzed conjunction with syntax assess accessibility, leading combined analysis accessibility. results reveal that central western regions District outperform eastern overall performance. Additionally, identifies four distinct types based their spatial distribution: high accessibility–high score, accessibility–low low score. findings not only provide scientific basis development but also offer valuable insights assessing enhancing cities globally.

Retrofit-Oriented Large Parks’ Walking-Shed Evaluation—A Case Study of Rizhao, China

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(3), P. 498 - 498

Published: Feb. 27, 2025

Large parks play a key role in the identity of urban public spaces and as destinations for residents’ walks, with social benefits they provide being irreplaceable by other types green spaces. This study examines accessibility large Rizhao, China, focusing on spatial distribution, service equity, optimization strategies. Using GIS-based walking route proximity analysis, identifies significant gaps high-density areas. Rizhao is typical coastal tourist city, selected area due to its low level urbanization underutilization natural resources. uses online map data evaluate efficiency supply–demand heterogeneity from multiple perspectives, proposing targeted, practical, micro-intervention-based measures based case analysis. The results show that 70.52% population served park entrances within 1500 m distance, indicating considerable portion residents remain beyond reasonable distance. In context renewal sustainable development, this proposes practical improvements accessibility, including suggestions determining suitable locations new long-term goal, alongside low-cost interventions such increasing maximize use existing resources optimizing pedestrian routes (including opening gated communities adding crossing facilities) improve catchment smaller environments. provides insights renewal, retrofitting, expansion, supporting planning practices, expected valuable references managers policymakers. Furthermore, suggests policy adjustments are necessary integrate into development more effectively, particularly rapidly urbanizing

Exploring the relationship between preferred routes for walking exercise and green space layout in a dense urban area: a series of poisson regression models

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 16

Published: Sept. 2, 2024

The literature considers urban green spaces as a key to promoting physical activity and health. Despite the increasingly recognized walking exercise promotion benefits of spaces, relationship between preferences space layout remains unclear. We extracted preferred routes for measured route heat using one-year shared data from mobile outdoor assistant app in old city Fuzhou, China. then evaluated features within 500-m buffer zone along dimensions scale, form, function. was analyzed series poisson regression models, with influence morphology built environment allocation being controlled. Results showed that there existed significant association combination layout, morphology, allocation; had positive associations NDVI comprehensive park area density, negative patch shape index density. This study illustrates necessity targeted intervention strategies promote development walkable healthy areas.
