“…Bill Hillier points out that it is difficult to experience both urban and architectural space immediately in its original place. One must observe it in motion through the system in order to gradually build up a picture of the whole spatial system, part by part [14] . People can learn more about their own living space using spatial syntax [15][16] .When one perceives and observes the space in the local area, whether one can try to understand the whole space through the local area, this introduces the concept of comprehensibility.…”

“…We take Liangjia Village as an example(Figer 1),search for the mathematical and theoretical relationships of "quantity" in the relevant geometric sense in the settlement configuration map to describe the "disorder" [7] ; we also search for the internal logic of the spatial composition of the settlement, and interpret and analyze these quantified relationships. The quantitative study of the disorder of traditional settlements can help us to understand the building instincts and intentions of the ancient people, and the relevant data will certainly become an important basis and fundamental for the analysis of settlements and even future planning [8] .…”

Traditional settlements are important material carriers of Chinese history and culture. After hundreds of years of development, the traditional settlements have survived until now, and the bottom-up construction mode reflects the most direct and original demands of the aborigines of all generations. The degree of disorder of the settlement, that is, the degree of its order, is not only the embodiment of its form, but also the concrete manifestation of its construction intention. To explore the intention behind the construction of settlements since ancient times.By using Delaunay triangulation network, street polar histogram and direction entropy, and comprehensibility of settlements, this paper quantitatively analyzes the degree of disorder in the three levels of architecture, street and local environment of the settlement. The paper, combining the background of the settlement, analyzes and compares the causes of the degree of disorder in the three levels of point, line and plane, and then explores the construction ideas of our ancestors for the settlement, so as to provide a scientific basis for the future planning of the settlements.Discovering the inherent construction principles within traditional settlements helps them maintain relative stability under external interventions. The results of disorder degree analysis serve as a benchmark for future settlement planning, contributing to the scientific basis of future decision-making.

“…While an analysis on a global scale shows many interrelated elements from any part of the city to any other place (R = n), an analysis on a local scale is limited to a specific area with a radius of 3 km (R = 3). Global integration calculates and analyzes the degree of the spatial integration of nodes with other streets [48].…”

Expansion of cities with population growth leads to the differentiation of urban texture, negatively affecting the accessibility of tourism areas in historical regions. For this reason, there is a need to develop tourism areas that enable people to experience the areas of historical heritage. Sustainable urban development, which is also the theory of the study, has become an agenda for the protection and revitalization of historical areas in order to increase accessibility to tourism. The Safranbolu Protected Area, which is one of the oldest settlements with its traditional housing texture and which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites List in Turkey, was chosen as the study area. In this study, the aim is to examine the accessibility of historical tourism centers, analyze the spatial configuration of the street texture in the city of Karabük and determine the features of the formation mechanism of the Safranbolu historical region. The research questions are based on the impact of (1) the accessibility of the street network on the formation mechanism of the urban architecture and (2) the shaping of urban tourism areas in historical cities. The space syntax method was used to examine the relationship between the building features of the Safranbolu Urban Protected Area and the formation features of the space. Within the scope of the study, the accessibility of the Safranbolu historical center was examined through the street texture that shapes the city form using data from Open Street Map. Segment and axial analyses were made based on the current street network data of the city. The key findings of the research revealed that the accessibility level of the city’s street network was practically effective in shaping the Safranbolu Urban Protected Area. It was theoretically found that the streets with a high global integration value in the city have an impact on the shaping of traditional architecture and constitute important routes for tourism in sustainable development. The findings serve as a reference for researchers in sustainable development, urban planners and local governments who will use it to test the methodology for understanding the street layout of the historical area and improving the experiential characteristics of the users.

In this field, the application of spatial syntax is prevalent, mainly used for analyzing spatial topological structures [34][35][36][37]. Scholars using GIS for Spatial Morphology research are also numerous, focusing on spatial patterns and features [38][39][40][41].…”

Historic districts intertwine various elements of historical heritage, cultural significance, social relations and daily activities, and have significant research value. Through a review of previous literature, it can be observed that research on the conservation and renewal of historic districts often focuses on the overall planning and development of macro-level district. Recognizing the scarcity of quantitative studies on spatial morphology at the meso level, this paper introduces a quantitative methodology applicable to historic streets. Utilizing Quanzhou City's West Street Historical and Cultural Neighborhood as a case study, it employs Aspect Ratio (D/H), Interface Density, and Build-To-Line Rate to describe and summarize street interface morphology, presenting transformative strategies for future protection and renewal. West Street's characteristics include: (1) horizontally, influenced by the Tang Dynasty's concept of "lining houses to form streets," it has a high Build-To-Line Rate and density, providing enclosure, limitation, and spatial continuity; (2) vertically, it displays diverse interface morphology with a moderate Aspect Ratio and rhythmic changes, maintaining visitor interest. The study validates the feasibility of this quantitative method and provides valuable insights for the conservation and renewal of historic districts.
