Overview

Computational spatial analysis reveals specific urban design elements driving positive and negative public perceptions, suggesting prioritized interventions for high-accessibility city streets.

Key Points

  • To establish a scalable method for quantifying resident perceptions of street space quality and evaluate how specific physical street elements influence these spatial perceptions.
  • Constructed a deep learning scoring model using street view images from the Binjiang district of Hangzhou, China, evaluating six perception dimensions: beautiful, wealthy, safety, lively, depressing, and boring.
  • Categorized street scenes into high- and low-quality spaces using the top 20% positive and negative scores, subsequently overlaying space syntax accessibility metrics to prioritize high-travel corridors.
  • Conducted multiple linear regression analyses to examine quantitative associations between spatial perception scores and physical street composition elements.
  • Positive street perceptions were significantly positively associated with the presence of plants and roads, and negatively associated with walls, ground surfaces, water, and fences.
  • Negative street perceptions were significantly positively associated with the visual prominence of walls and buildings.
  • Spatial overlay of accessibility indices successfully pinpointed high-priority urban segments exhibiting either extreme positive or negative quality along primary transit routes.
