WHAT IS SPACE SYNTAX & HOW IT HELPS YOU

• Space Syntax: A method to study how spaces influence movement and social interactions.
• Axial Lines: The longest straight roads people can walk or see in, forming a network of movement.
• Connectivity Analysis: Measures how many other roads (axial lines) connect to one (no. of junctions). More connections mean better accessibility and movement flow.

Connectivity Map Analysis is crucial for emergency response and disaster rescue. Highly connected roads allow faster evacuation, easier access for rescue teams, and better route planning. In urban design, evacuation personnel can select highly connected roads to focus activity to extract and rescue people. During disasters, it is a good idea to head to these roads for extraction.

WHAT IS INUNDATION MAPS & DEM? HOW IT SUPPORTS YOU?

• Inundation Map: A map showing areas at risk of flooding based on water levels and terrain data. It helps predict flood-prone zones and plan mitigation strategies.
• DEM (Digital Elevation Model) Analysis:: A 3D representation of the terrain used to study elevation, drainage patterns, and water flow. It helps in flood modeling and risk assessment.

Inundation maps and DEM analysis are crucial for flood response and disaster management. They identify flood spread, identify safe zones, and plan evacuation routes.

• Building Heights: The measurement of vertical structures, influencing evacuation planning, wind flow, and urban density. Taller buildings require specialized escape routes and emergency plans.
• Refuge Points: Safe locations within or outside buildings where people can take shelter during emergencies like fires, floods, or earthquakes.

Building height analysis and refuge points are crucial for disaster response and evacuation planning.
