“…A high IV shows that space integrates very strikingly with the system, thus suggesting a public space. In contrast, the space is more private when the IV value is close to 0 (Ortega- Andeane et al, 2005).…”

The study aims to investigate the effects of the spatial configuration of traditional Vietnamese houses on the design of apartment buildings in Ho Chi Minh (HCM) City, Vietnam. To achieve the objective, the following approaches were implemented. Firstly, the transformation of the socio-economic structure in HCM City, which is a primary factor affecting the development of apartment buildings was examined. Secondly, the well-known space syntax method for analyzing the spatial structure plan was outlined. Thirdly, a survey of traditional houses and apartment buildings from 1960 to 2010 was conducted. Among the various traditional house styles, the Hue traditional garden house, which has primary effects on the modern housing design in HCM City, was selected as a representative sample to compare with apartment units. Lastly, the space syntax method was employed to analyze the spatial structure of the sample of traditional houses and apartment units. The effects of the Hue traditional house?s spatial configuration on apartment buildings were analyzed. The result shows that the spatial configuration of modern apartment buildings and traditional houses have similar characteristics, including having an adaptable natural environment, and they both reflect Vietnamese culture and society. The findings can be applied when predicting development trends for the unit plans of modern apartments in HCM City, Vietnam.

“…But also on a smaller scale, within the indoor environment, the degree of freedom differs: in corridors, people go more or less straight following the medial axis, while in open spaces, people move more freely. Furthermore, it is widely accepted in the literature [83,84] that these open spaces provide visual access to the building which facilitates the legibility of the building [85] and orientation [86]. In contrast, this freedom of movement induces difficulties in modeling open spaces and modeling the routing in these spaces, which have been outlined and examined in a number of studies (e.g., [87,88]).…”

Indoor navigation systems are not well adapted to the needs of their users. The route planning algorithms implemented in these systems are usually limited to shortest path calculations or derivatives, minimalizing Euclidian distance. Guiding people along routes that adhere better to their cognitive processes could ease wayfinding in indoor environments. This paper examines comfort and confusion perception during wayfinding by applying a mixed-method approach. The aforementioned method combined an exploratory focus group and a video-based online survey. From the discussions in the focus group, it could be concluded that indoor wayfinding must be considered at different levels: the local level and the global level. In the online survey, the focus was limited to the local level, i.e., local environmental characteristics. In this online study, the comfort and confusion ratings of multiple indoor navigation situations were analyzed. In general, the results indicate that open spaces and stairs need to be taken into account in the development of a more cognitively-sounding route planning algorithm. Implementing the results in a route planning algorithm could be a valuable improvement of indoor navigation support.

“…La syntaxe spatiale en tant qu'approche morphologique, se distingue dans sa démarche par le rapprochement entre le social et le spatial (Ortega-Andeane et al, 2007). Donc, notre objectif par cette technique et de trouver un modèle d'identification des rapports métrique entre les relevés des transformations urbaines, le système Wayfinding du mouvement piéton et les propriétés syntaxiques de la morphologique urbaines.…”

[a] , Abdelmalek Tacherift [a] , Abdelkader Abdellaoui RésuméLa technique de l'analyse syntaxique de la visibilité (Visibility Graph Analysis -VGA) et de l'accessibilité (All Line Analysis -ALA) par logiciel "DepthMap © (UCL, Londres)" et l'analyse du dysfonctionnement wayfinding par méthode "movement traces", sont utilisées dans ce papier afin de développer un modèle d'analyse et d'investigation de l'impact des changements spatiaux sur le dysfonctionnement socio-spatial du wayfinding, ainsi sur la reproduction urbaine, notamment les transformations des façades et l'appropriation des espaces extérieurs dans les grands ensembles en Algérie. Nous donnons ici le cas d'étude de la cité 1000 logt-Biskra et la cité 500 logt-M'sila. Afin de vérifier cette hypothèse, un modèle d'analyse hybride a été développé par croisement des résultats d'analyses des deux techniques. Par conséquent, le schéma de l'interférence montre que la majorité des piétons préfèrent parcourir les axes courts et droits -caractérisés par une forte propriété syntaxique de visibilité et d'accessibilité (l'intégration, la connectivité et l'intelligibilité) -en directions des équipements adjacents et aux milieux des deux cités. Ces itinéraires ont un impact sur les transformations des façades et l'appropriation des espaces extérieurs. Le modèle développé promet de futures recherches sur le plan de la quantification, la modélisation et la simulation du processus de la reproduction urbaine, notamment par les automates cellulaires.
