Abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate how pedestrians’ movement patterns and wayfinding in cities' downtowns are influenced by spatial configuration. Accordingly, a combination of empirical axial line and visibility graph analysis was investigated using the Space Syntax technique and empirical observation of pedestrians' static and dynamic activities. In order to determine the behavioral movement patterns of individuals, different types of observation techniques on pedestrians have been investigated. Besides, a comparison has been conducted to evaluate the consistency of the findings. The results show that the spatial configurations and arrangements of spaces have a significant impact on the way that individuals percept their environments in mega cities’ commercial streets. This research can contribute to engineers, urban designers, environmental psychologists and policymakers to create more accessible spaces by promoting the level of wayfinding quality and considering the determined gaps in urban layout. |
