Democratic Street: An application of Space Syntax in testing the spatial justice among women pedestrian

Abstract

This research examines the quality of streets and public life among women through observation. Axial analysis models are combined into Space Syntax to hypothesize the effect of grid layout on street vitality and sociability in shopping streets by using global and local integration to measure how women use the space. The result indicated that there is a correlation among these parameters with the following spatial configurative analyses; integrated streets attract more women pedestrians and how women feel as well as they use street space.Keywords: Democratic Street; Spatial Justice; Women; Space SyntaxeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.
