Abstract

Settlements grow and develop their unique spatial structure, subject to the factors (cultural, political, religious, etc.) influencing them. In course of time, the spatial structure starts influencing different aspects in the settlement like mobility, land-use, crime pattern, land values, etc. To understand the influences of spatial structure in a rational way, a scientific approach is required. So, space syntax techniques are chosen as the principal theoretical postulates for analysis, because of its quantitative and scientific approach. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse the spatial structure of the street network in an Indian city – Mysore – by a comprehensive application of space syntax techniques. The study has been conducted by breaking down the structure into components and by analysing the use of different measures, like integration and choice, using Depthmap software (Turner, 2012). The analysis is then related to the existing mobility pattern and land-use to construe how the spatial structure influences the mobility pattern and land-use.
