Abstract | This review study compares the spatial configuration/arrangement and pedestrians’ wayfinding ability in complex urban environment to support future urban planning and design. A combination of empirical axial line and visibility graph analysis using the Space Syntax technique and empirical observation of visitors' static and dynamic activities was investigated. Various observation techniques have been investigated to determine the most suitable practices to identify individual visitor’s behavioural patterns and propose suitable observation periods. Furthermore, a comparison between different spaces has been investigated to assess the consistency of the findings. The findings show that spatial configurations and space arrangements significantly impact how people perceive their surroundings. By promoting the level of wayfinding quality in various urban spaces, this research helps urban designers, engineers, environmental psychologists, and policymakers create more legible spaces. |
