Abstract | ||||
Many research studies have used several methods and tools to determine the aspects affecting human movement behavior. The research aims to investigate the effectiveness of these methods by reviewing the analytical studies of three examples located in different countries, which are the historical Yushan area in Enshi Tujia State in China, the Rasht Municipality Square Kilan Governorate in Iran, and the Abu Qatada area in Giza Governorate. These examples have been chosen because they include historical, residential, and commercial areas, some of which are in the city downtown, where the spatial configuration of the space affects the heavy pedestrian movement. Therefore, reviewing researchers’ analyses of these areas will help to understand the best method that could be used to determine how pedestrian movement is affected. A comparative study of these examples will be made to determine the best strategies used to examine the relationship between the pattern of spatial configuration and the rates of pedestrian movement in each area. The findings aim to understand the input and output data types needed to achieve more accurate spatial configuration analysis and how to relate the data with human movement behavior. | ||||
