Overview

Randomized trial explores the mediating role of pedestrian perception in urban vitality, suggesting dynamic relationships influenced by spatial characteristics.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate how pedestrian perception mediates the relationship between built environment characteristics and urban vitality in historic districts.
  • Analyzed a historic district in Shenyang using multiple perception methods, including visual and online perception.
  • Utilized factor analysis to categorize spatial characteristics into street scale, historical and cultural, environmental comfort, and functional business characteristics.
  • Applied a mediating and moderating effect model to examine pathways between spatial characteristics and urban vitality.
  • Each spatial characteristic significantly mediates urban vitality.
  • Effect pathways of spatial characteristics vary significantly across dimensions, with historical and cultural characteristics showing a unique moderating effect.
  • Public preference negatively impacts the association between historical and cultural characteristics and urban vitality.
