... use, highlighting OTC's temporal primacy. Originality/value This study integrates spatiotemporal thermal analysis with Space Syntax to explain CUL in a semi-arid Algerian context. It demonstrates that thermal stress consistently outweighs spatial configuration in shaping CUL, challenging static...

... as the most important criterion behind the success of the hospital service. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach based on space syntax theory was adopted through four syntactic maps (isovist, axial, convex, and visibility graph analysis VGA), to depict three case studies in Erbil city...

.../approach Using DepthmapX software, two main quantitative methodologies of space syntax, namely, spatial integration accessibility (SIA) and angular segment analysis by metric distance (ASDMA), are employed to analyse the level of accessibility for the main streets of George Town site before and after...

Design/methodology/approach This analysis utilizes the Space Syntax methodology to examine a sample of vernacular courtyard houses with respect to space connectivity, conducting an analytical exploration of the role of women based on the system of activities...

... using space syntax techniques. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on the quantitative approach of space syntax. A total number of 15 houses in Kerman built in three periods of Qajar, Pahlavi and the Islamic Republic, were examined for the space syntax indices using UCL DepthMap...
