Spatial configuration and social sustainability in urban neighborhoods
The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of urban neighborhood spatial layout on social sustainability, which has received little attention in prior studies. Hence, three neighborhoods with diverse spatial configurations were chosen and evaluated. The primary methodology of this study is quantitative spatial configuration analysis. To analyze the spatial pattern, “Normalized Angular Integration (NAIN),” “Axial connection,” and “Intelligibility” were utilized. Questionnaires, on the other hand, examined social sustainability using three criteria and nine indicators. Finally, the relationship between these two concepts was investigated. The results showed how different urban layouts might affect social sustainability. “NAIN” and “Intelligibility” are significantly connected to metrics of social sustainability. Furthermore, we discovered that spatial configuration had the greatest effect on the two indicators of security and social justice. These findings can help city officials and planners enhance the social sustainability of areas through rehabilitation programs and new urban development plans.
