Spatial evaluation of urban community life circle by spatial syntax combined with spatio-temporal behavior analysis:A case study of Dangdai-Yimei community life circle in Beijing
Under the background of high-quality urban development in Chinese-style modernization,building open,diverse,and resilient livable community life circles has become an important aspect of the sustainable development of future cities and the improvement of residents'quality of life and sense of well-being.The spatial and temporal optimization of facilities in community life circles is an important direction for urban renewal and transformation.This study took the Dangdai-Yimei community life circle—an area located in the suburb of Beijing—as a case study area,and combined spatial syntactic modeling with spatiotemporal characteristics of residents'daily activities.By conducting a spatial environment evaluation at the scale of urban community life circle,we put forward recommendations for spatial optimization.The study found that space with high availability in spatial syntactic measurement results is usually rarely used in residents'daily life due to access control management,behavioral needs,work arrangements and other factors.The fact that residents indirectly use facilities in other communities reveals the need for sharing of space between communities.Within the community life circle,there are shortcomings such as inadequate facility allocation and insufficient public spaces.Shopping facilities are located far from residential areas,leading to fewer shopping activities within the community life circle.The lack of leisure spaces forces residents to use the major transportation hub as leisure spaces.Finally,the low activity of working professionals within the community life circle during weekday evenings reflects the inadequacy of spatial flexibility planning.We recommend that in the future,human behavioral needs should be integrated with the spatial structure characteristics of the built environment in communities.This includes advocating for increased openness and sharing between communities within community life circles,diversifying the functions of public spaces,and appropriately adding flexible activity spaces.These efforts aim to create more livable and harmonious living activity spaces.
