This study aims to explore how different functional mixes affect street vitality by examining pedestrian activity.
Conducted micro-scale exploratory investigation using Point of Interest (POI) data and field observations.
Adopted a two-stage framework: initial exploratory phase with a small sample followed by a validation phase on a larger sample.
Street vitality is fostered by an organically structured functional stratification rather than even mixing of uses.
Maintaining one to two primary functions optimizes vitality, while a high proportion of low-frequency functions negatively impacts it.
