Identifying and Measuring Urban Design Qualities Related to Walkability.
BACKGROUND In active living research, measures used to characterize the built environment have been mostly gross qualities such as neighborhood density and park access. This project has developed operational definitions and measurement protocols for subtler urban design qualities believed to be related to walkability. METHODS Methods included: 1) recruiting an expert panel; 2) shooting video ...
متن کاملPromoting city center parking qualities using urban design guidelines
Quality is the most important consequence of an urban design project, and its promotion is the final duty of an urban designer. So "urban design guidelines" which use environmental improvement factors in their structure, have an effective role in promoting urban space quality. "Urban design guidelines" are the most important instruments in urban designers' authority, to reflect and appear im...
متن کاملAn Evaluation and Design Support System for Urban Walkability
We present an operational proposal for the evaluation of walkability. Its distinguishing characteristic in conceptualising walkability is to take into account and combine three distinct elements in a multicriteria evaluation model: the availability of attractive destinations, their effective distances along a detailed representation of the street network and the qualities relevant to walkabilit...
متن کاملIdentifying Related Landmark Tags in Urban Scenes
6 There is considerable interest in developing landmark saliency models as a basis for describing urban 7 landscapes, and in constructing wayfinding instructions, for text and spoken dialogue based systems. The 8 challenge lies in knowing the truthfulness of such models; is what the model considers salient the same as what 9 is perceived by the user? This paper presents a web based experiment i...
متن کاملMeasuring Mesh Qualities and Application to Variational Mesh Adaptation
The mesh assessment problem is investigated in this paper by taking into account the shape and size of elements and the solution behavior. Three elementwise mesh quality measures characterizing the shape, alignment, and adaptation features of elements are introduced according to the estimates of interpolation error developed on a general mesh. An adaptive mesh is assessed by an overall quality ...
