Research On The Accessibility Of Shenyang Nanhu Park Based On Space Syntax

Since the 18 th CPC National Congress,the Party and the state have attached great importance to inheriting and carrying forward the splendid Chinese traditional culture.As an important window to show the construction of regional spiritual civilization,cultural space in urban parks is an integral part of the park construction process and the major spatial layout of cities,and encapsulates the changes and development in the modern history of cities.In response to the call of strengthening national cultural construction,this research is conducted to give full play to the role of park construction in promoting urban tourism,and to enhance citizens’ sense of urban identity.Under such a background,taking Shenyang Nanhu Park as the research object,this paper selects the cultural space and potential cultural space in the park through field investigation and questionnaire,and studies the accessibility of the walkable layer and visible layer of the space in the park according to the space syntax theory,with the aim to promote the transformation from potential cultural space to cultural space and improve the utilization rate of cultural space.The main body of this paper is organized as follows:(1)By referring to the existing researches on the accessibility of evaluation space,and based on the theory of space syntax,this paper studies the accessibility of park space from two layers: walkable layer and visible layer.By using the existing applications of space syntax theory in accessibility as a reference,it is concluded that line segment model and visual field model can be used to study the spatial accessibility of walkable layer and visible layer in parks.(2)The screening method of cultural space is determined by using the existing researches on cultural space as a reference.By sorting out the historical data and summarizing the existing scenic spots of Shenyang Nanhu Park,the scenic spots with the value of cultural space and the scenic spots with the potential to become cultural spaces are screened via field investigation and questionnaire.(3)The line segment model of Shenyang Nanhu Park is established and verified.According to the four indexes of global integration,local integration,efficiency and coordination,this paper analyzes the accessibility of the cultural space in parks and the walkable layer of potential cultural space from four aspects: global accessibility,local accessibility,psychological accessibility and perceptual accessibility.It is concluded that the current situation of cultural space accessibility is better than that of potential cultural space accessibility.The accessibility of Lotus Pavilion and Friendship Bell Square is average,while the accessibility of Yuyue Hexiang Garden,Baiyun Pavilion in cultural space and Qifang Garden,Linfang Garden and Rose Island in potential cultural space is poor.(4)The visual field model of Shenyang Nanhu Park is established,and the accessibility of the visual layer of cultural spaces and potential cultural spaces in Shenyang Nanhu Park is analyzed through the integration index of visual field.It is found that the visual accessibility of cultural space is better than that of potential cultural space.The accessibility of DeerSculpture Square,Friendship Bell Square,Leifeng Sculpture Square,Baiyun Pavilion and Yuyue Hexiang Garden in cultural space and Rose Island,Qifang Garden and Linfang Garden in potential cultural space is poor.(5)Based on the accessibility analysis,it is found that the opening degree of the “garden within garden” of Shenyang Nanhu Park is low,the structure of the roads around some spaces is unreasonable,and the visual guidance for tourists in the Cultural Square is poor.To solve these problems,this paper puts forward some suggestions,such as improving the spatial openness of the “garden within garden” in the park,optimizing the spatial road structure,adding a visual corridor from Wobo Bridge to the Cultural Square,and perfecting the internal facilities of the space.
