Coordination Analysis for Urban Underground Space and Rail Transit Based on Space Syntax

Abstract:

Rational planning for the underground space development in subway station areas, in coordinate with the urban rail transit development, has positive impacts on the sustainable development of cities. This paper induces the space syntax method for calculating the quantitative accessibility index of the urban rail transit and detects the coordination between urban underground space use intensity and rail transit system of the 7 selected subway lines in Tokyo. The results show that the station areas with higher accessibility index are the same sort with higher underground space use intensity. This means that the space syntax method is suitable and feasible for calculation of the quantitative accessibility index of subway lines. The higher the accessibility index is, the more underground space will be needed potentially in future. The areas with high accessibility of subway lines and low intensity of public underground space develop are the key districts under potential exploitation of underground space.
