Visitors’ expectations for social interactions in natural recreation area is diverse;for instance, some seek solitude experience, while others may expect high level of social contacts. Better understanding of users’ spatial distribution is crucial to provide different desirable social conditions to fulfil users’ needs, which is essential to natural recreation area planning and management. This study aims at investigating how trail configurational attributes may impact the spatial distribution of visitors in natural recreation areas, such as urban neighbourhood parks and urban forest parks. Utilizing space syntax theory, we first developed an approach to measure trail configurational attributes in natural environment, and then applied the approach to two types of urban parks, i.e., a neighbourhood park and a forest park. The approach is based on the idea of a stroke-based network, and defines the boundaries of individual spaces (trails and activity areas) in a convex map as the actual boundaries of these spaces, i.e., each curving pathway segment is represented with a single convex space. We then measured visitors’ spatial distribution pattern using gate method and GPS trackers in two neighbourhood parks and two urban forest parks. The results indicate that pathway global integration value has a positive significant association with pathway use level in all the four parks, while pathway control value is also positively associated with trail use level in the two forest parks. These findings could provide direct implications for park design and management. For instance, in urban neighbourhood parks, we can locate features and facilities, such as display boards and flowers close to pathways with a high integration value, in order to serve more visitors. In park areas with a low integration and control value and tend to attract less users, we may arrange safety patrols to ensure park safety. For users who prefer to enjoy solitude, designers can incorporate peaceful areas
Urban planning is crucial to sustainable growth. In order for the planners to make informed decisions, data from multiple sources have to be retrieved and cross-referenced efficiently. We discuss the implementation of...
