The quality of street space is the comprehensive suitability evaluation from the objective physical environments and the subjective pedestrian perception. Since the existing quality measurement models of street space do not consider both subjective and objective aspects, it is difficult for planners to accurately locate the low-quality streets that need to be regenerated. To solve this problem, this study proposes a new 5D+3S measurement model for street space quality evaluation. This model incorporates the widely acknowledged 5D dimensions of the physical environments (Design, Destination accessibility, Distance to transit, Density, and Diversity), and the 3S dimensions (Sociality, Safety, and Status) of walking perception derived from the keywords clustering on relevant literature. To test the validity of the proposed model, this study makes a comparative analysis on the results of the public assessment, expert scoring, and model measurement to verify whether the measurement results are objective and convincing. The results show that the quality grade obtained by the proposed measurement model is highly consistent with the subjective evaluation outcomes of the public and experts. Thus, the proposed measurement model is effective in quality measurement of the street space, which provides a new idea for future large-scale diagnosis of city public space quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
