COMPREHENSIVE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF STREET TEXTURE IN TRADITIONAL VILLAGES:A CASE STUDY OF TRADITIONAL VILLAGES IN XISHAN ISLAND
In the construction of beautiful countryside,the scientific analysis of street texture is an important premise for the protection of historic styles and features of streets and lanes,as well as for the inheritance of original landscape characteristics of traditional villages.However,it is difficult to quantify the street texture.From the relationship between the walking experience and visual perception of pedestrians and the street form,this paper introduces the indicators of interface density and build-to-line ratio,and innovatively puts forward the frontage ratio as an indicator to quantify the street texture.Taking the main streets and lanes of typical traditional villages in Xishan Island of Taihu Lake as the research subject,the paper carries out a quantitative analysis of their texture by use of the three indicators.The data obtained from the analysis objectively reflect the diversity of spatial form of streets and lanes in traditional villages,thus providing a basis for the protection and inheritance of the traditional styles and features of them.
