Abstract (1478 Views)
Aims: Understanding and analyzing the Space Syntax Logic of the spatial arrangement of settlements is effective in creating and developing population centers. The Space Syntax cities in the coastal plains have a special logic and follow special rules, the recognition of which requires familiarity with the memory of the historical development of coastal plains and factors that have created a spatial identity and attractiveness for the initial bed and the crystallization of the center of urban civilization. This study aimed to analyze the urban Spatial Syntax Logic in the coastal plain Northern Coast of Iran.
Methodology: In this study, relying on the theory of the Space Syntax and phenomenological approach and with the aim of territorial perception, we recognized the processes of spatial identity in the plains of the northern coast of Iran.
Finding: Syntax analysis of settlements was considered by looking at geomorphic components such as lake terraces, equilibrium ice-water line, equilibrium water, ice line, meander, and drainage network pattern. Using the descriptive-analytical method and GIS, we analyzed the Space Syntax pattern of settlements and the configuration of space.
Conclusion: Syntax Logic Marine painting settlements of the northern coasts of Iran are different from marine paintings of the southern coasts. Urban settlements in the marine image follow the Frequency-Magnitude rule of water level lines. Urban settlements in the marine image of the southern coasts do not follow the law of bifurcation. Urban settlements are not located in the mountain landscape, and villages have taken their identity from the equilibrium ice-water line and permanent snow.
