Abstract

The network system is defined as the combination of streets and alleys. Although the potential of alleys in complementing street networks is acknowledged, the topic has not received a considerable attention in urban planning practice and scholarship. This paper evaluates alleys’ role in the combined street-alley networks by calculating Information Centrality, a metric in Multiple Centrality Assessment (MCA). The combined network of streets and alleys in thirteen neighborhoods of Abu Dhabi and Dubai have been studied. Findings indicate that alleys may or may not contribute to increment of network efficiency. Generally, the contribution of alleys to efficiency is more significant if the corresponding street network has low efficiency.

超越街道:小巷在阿布扎比和迪拜网络系统中的作用
网络系统被定义为街道和小巷的组合。虽然小巷在补充街道网络方面的潜力已得到认可,但这一话题在城市规划实践和学术研究中并未得到广泛关注。本文通过计算多重中心性评估(MCA)中的一个指标--信息中心性,来评估小巷在街巷组合网络中的作用。研究了阿布扎比和迪拜 13 个社区的街巷组合网络。研究结果表明,小巷可能有助于提高网络效率,也可能无助于提高网络效率。一般来说,如果相应的街道网络效率较低,小巷对效率的贡献会更大。
