Figure 1. The macro-scale spatial system under study( after Robinson 1946, plate 271)
Macro-scale analysis: the street network Figure 2 shows the axial map( 2a) and the visibility graph( 2b) resulting from Depthmap. The integration value per axial line together with the street name that each line represents, is listed in table 1. 4
4 As the axial lines have to be straight for the analysis, Avenues D and E consist of more than one axial line, respectively two and three, since they are curved. The different segments are numbered in table 1 according to their position from north to south.
The results reveal that the axial line with the highest integration corresponds to Avenue C( line 5), followed by Avenue B( line 4). There is also a noticeable difference between the integration values of streets( 14 in total), representing east-west movement, and the ones of avenues( 9 in total), representing north-south movement. The four axial lines with the highest integration values are all( parts of) p. 38 | VOL II | INTER-SECTION | 2016
