Hi Anurodh,

Do you have polygon features for network representation in your shapefiles?

If this is the case, you can easily generate axial map using Depthmap.

If not, I personally feel that cetreline approach for calculating syntactic properties won't give you accurate results.

However you can look for papers comparing the calculation differences of the 2 approaches (I too have gone through some papers using TIGER lines and comparing it with Axial lines) and proceed.

Regards,

Rajesh

Hi,

I am a research student who wish to use space syntax to calculate street connectivity at suburb level.

I have street network shape file available. I can create dxf file of the network and import into depthmap, however I do not know if this is correct way to do so.

I read some papers on use of street centerline file as an axial map and running segment analysis to get the syntactic properties.

Could anyone suggest me what approach should be taken if I want to use street network file to calculate global integration and choice.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank You.
