Abstract

The study explores the understanding of connectedness, integration, and axial route selection in urban parks using space syntax. It uses the Theory of Space Syntax to analyze georeferenced photographs and urban morphology data. The findings suggest that creating rules for integration and linkage that directly influence users' decision-making processes could lead to significant improvements in urban parks.

The study discusses space syntax as an architectural concept that views architecture as an interface between public and private spaces, analyzing landscapes through mirroring and focusing on internal configurations and exteriors. The study proposes a method to measure permeability and integration in urban parks in New Damietta City, Egypt, using space syntax programs for both qualitative and quantitative methods, aiming to provide frameworks for understanding park ecology and people's perceptions and behaviors. The results will provide frameworks for understanding urban park composition, future explorations of urban park ecology, and people's perceptions and behaviors. Research indicates that larger open green spaces exhibit spatial and social logic, while smaller ones are more arbitrary due to land availability and private development amenities.
