  1. Geographic Information Systems in Design and Social Sciences PERVER K BARAN Park Recreation and Tourism Management William R SmithDepartment of Sociology and Anthropology NC STATE UNIVERSITY

  2. Spatial Configuration, Land Use Patterns and Vehicular Movement in Cary, NC: A Comparative Analysis 1989, 1994, and 2002 PERVER K BARAN Park Recreation and Tourism Management Umut Toker Graduate - PhD in Design Program

  3. How urban form relates to pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns? • Pedestrian flow • Vehicular flow Land use Traditional Origin-Destination Approach: • Characterizes the problem in terms of flows to and from“attractor” land uses (i.e. shopping malls)

  4. How urban form relates to pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns? • More Human Space Use • Pedestrian flow • Vehicular flow Configurational Accessibility multiplier effect Attractive Land Uses Configurational – Space Syntax Approach: • Characterizes the problem in terms of how the “spatial configuration” of urban form relates to pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns

  5. Configurational Accessibility - Permeability • Non-metric and non-geometric ‘configurational properties of space • The ease of physical movement through a district • The number of alternative routes running through a district • Where people can go and cannot go

  6. Configurational Analysis Axial Map Identified geometrically by drawing the longest straight line possible before the line hits a building, wall, etc.

  7. Configurational AccessibilityCary 1989

  8. GIS Database Spatial configuration measures global integration, local integration, connectivity Land use and density Traffic counts

  10. An Integrative Social-Spatial Analysis of Crime Study Objective Develop an integrative social-spatial approach to study how social and economic factors interact with the built environment to influence risk and vulnerability to crime in an urban environment
