Abstract

Space syntax is a method used to analyze the similarities or differences between spatial configurations. This study aims to reveal the details about the use of this method through an application. For this purpose, three assumed spatial configurations that are similar to each other but topologically different are included in the scope of the study. To create the necessary basis for the methodological examination, the details of drawing the permeability graph of the first spatial configuration were clarified. The calculation method, which includes the digitization of the same spatial configuration, is explained in detail. Permeability graphs of all spatial configurations were drawn and their syntactic values (TD, MD, RA, RRA, i (1/RA or 1/RRA), CV, H, and H*) were calculated. It was found that the syntactic properties of the spatial configurations examined were different from each other, configuration 1 was segregated and asymmetrical, and configuration 3 had a more integrated and symmetrical structure. When the exterior was not included, it was determined that spatial configuration 2 and 3 had a much more extroverted spatial structure compared to spatial configuration 1. It was also found that configuration 3 has a strong genetic structure (a low entropy value) in terms of relative difference factor. With the method used, differences between seemingly similar functional schemes were revealed.

Mekân Dizimi: Mekânsal Örgütlenmeyi Grafikleştirme, Sayısallaştırma, Okuma ve Yorumlama

Abstract

Mekân dizimi, mekânsal örgütlenmeler arasındaki benzerlik ya da farklılıkları analiz etmek için kullanılan bir yöntemdir. Bu çalışma, bu yöntemin kullanımına ilişkin detayları bir uygulama üzerinden ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, birbirine benzer, ancak topolojik olarak farklı olan üç varsayılan mekânsal örgütlenme çalışma kapsamına dahil edilmiştir. Metodolojik inceleme için gerekli altlığın oluşturulması için ilk mekânsal örgütlenmenin geçirgenlik grafiğinin çizilmesine yönelik detaylar belirginleştirilmiştir. Aynı mekân örgütlenmesinin sayısallaştırılmasını içeren hesaplama yöntemi ayrıntılı olarak açıklanmıştır. Tüm mekân örgütlenmelerinin hem geçirgenlik grafikleri çizilmiş hem de sentaktik değerleri (TD, MD, RA, RRA, i (1/RA ya da 1/RRA), CV, H ve H*) hesaplanmıştır. İncelenen mekân örgütlenmelerinin sentaktik özelliklerinin birbirlerinden farklı olduğu, 1 numaralı örgütlenmenin ayrışmış ve asimetrik, 3 numaralı örgütlenmenin ise daha bütünleşmiş ve simetrik bir yapıya sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Dış mekân dahil edilmediğinde 1 numaralı mekân örgütlenmesi ile karşılaştırıldığında 2 ve 3 numaralı mekân örgütlenmelerinin çok daha fazla dışa dönek bir mekânsal yapıya sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca 3 numaralı örgütlenmenin görece fark faktörleri bakımından güçlü bir genetik yapıya (düşük bir entropi değerine) sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Kullanılan metot ile benzer gibi görünen işlevsel şemalar arasındaki farklılıklar ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
