Abstract

Future resilient cities need to integrate increasing density with the development of urban infrastructure and systems, especially natural and green systems. In Singapore’s post-Independence history, urban green spaces have evolved from leftover manicured grassy areas to biodiverse spaces with recreational areas and facilities. Singapore has recognized the need to provide varying access to the public to protect the more natural areas from too much public access. In urban green spaces, different areas have varying access depending on the scale and significance of the natural habitat. This paper uses Spatial Network Analysis — or the study of topological spatial relationships — to inform the planning and design of varying levels of access in urban green spaces in Singapore. It investigates the influence of spatial configuration of urban green spaces on pedestrian movement, by studying two types of urban green spaces in Singapore: one-north Park and Jurong Lakeside Garden. In both cases, the research utilizes weighted Spatial Network Analysis using sDNA, an analytical tool, to gain insights into the correlations between spatial connectivity and pedestrian movement distribution patterns. Empirical quantitative data are collected using infrared-sensor devices and manual pedestrian count and activity mapping. The methodology can provide the basis for the future planning and design of pedestrian infrastructure in urban green spaces in Singapore, and other high-density cities.
基于网络科学的新加坡城市绿地分析
未来的弹性城市需要将不断增加的人口密度与城市基础设施和系统的发展结合起来,尤其是自然和绿色系统。在新加坡独立后的历史中,城市绿地已经从修剪整齐的草地演变为带有休闲区和设施的生物多样性空间。新加坡已经认识到有必要为公众提供不同的通道,以保护更自然的区域免受过多的公众通道的影响。在城市绿地中,根据自然栖息地的规模和重要性,不同的区域有不同的通道。本文使用空间网络分析——或拓扑空间关系的研究——来为新加坡城市绿地中不同层次的通道的规划和设计提供信息。通过研究新加坡两种类型的城市绿地:一北公园和裕廊湖滨花园,研究了城市绿地的空间形态对行人运动的影响。在这两种情况下,研究都使用了加权空间网络分析(sDNA),一种分析工具,以深入了解空间连通性与行人运动分布模式之间的相关性。使用红外传感器设备和人工行人计数和活动测绘收集经验定量数据。该方法可以为新加坡和其他高密度城市的城市绿地行人基础设施的未来规划和设计提供基础。
