Measuring the Interplay between Street Network, Pedestrian Movement Flow and Land Use Pattern

Project description

In past years, Kadikoy had a leading role in entertaining people with various theaters, clubs, and cinemas. Nowadays, this area has been divided into two parts, particularly a residential district with dwelling unites inter-mixed with singular shops, and a commercial-cultural area with numerous bars, cinemas, and bookshops.
The aim of this research was to measure the connectivity of street networks and land use compositions in distributing pedestrian movement flows. A configurational analysis of Kadikoy in relation to land use compositions and observed pedestrian densities confirmed that both land-use patterns and spatial configuration of street networks have a considerable impact on the distribution of pedestrian movements and their route choices.

 

My responsibility

Collecting data was a cooperative effort between members while analyzing the recorded data and observational surveys were an independent task. It was my professional experience in using a quantitative analysis method for describing and analyzing an urban problem. I worked to overlay the land use map, segment analysis map with the distribution of pedestrian density maps in ArcGIS. I generated the segment map of the area by the Depthmap tool and attempted to create database diagrams and tables using Excel.
