Station squares,serving as crucial assembling and evacuation spaces,play a vital role in traffic organization and the transit-oriented development.Determining appropriate scale parameters for station square designs contributes to efficient land utilization,enhanced transportation connectivity,and the creation of inviting urban open spaces.Drawing upon 10 station squares along Boten-Vientiane Railway as the cases for study,this paper employed statistical analysis,comparative analysis,and correlation analysis to investigate layout patterns,area metrics,and spatial scales of these squares.Key findings include:(1)The layout and scale of station squares are significantly influenced by station buildings and site constraints,emphasizing the need for comprehensive consideration of square layouts during station precinct planning.(2)Within the composition of station square land uses,vehicular roads,parking areas,and pedestrian concourses account for the largest proportions,highlighting the primacy of traffic management functions in typical small to medium-sized station squares.(3)The passenger-dedicated areas within the station squares along Boten-Vientiane Railway generally exceed minimum area prescribed by guidelines,exhibiting a decreasing trend as station sizes increase.(4)Station square width-to-length ratios commonly approximate the golden ratio,while the ratio of station building length to square length tends toward a unity of 1∶1.The ratio of the height of station buildings to the width of the square falls within the range of 1∶4 to 1∶2.
