The Innovative Use of Spatial Syntax in Spatial Design of Tourism Landscape

Abstract

In the process of the continuous promotion of regional tourism, how to plan and design the tourism landscape to create a landscape environment with local characteristics and humanization will be the focus of this paper’s research. This paper takes Z tourist-oriented ancient town, as the research sample and centers on its public space characteristics and quality evaluation. The study innovatively applies the spatial syntax method to analyze the public space of the tourism landscape. It quantitatively analyzes the spatial data of the representative villages of the ancient tourist town. Then, the PSPL research method is applied to evaluate the quality of public spaces and living conditions in ancient tourist towns. Among the representative villages, traditional village C5 has the lowest average depth of public space (4.2382) and the highest intelligibility (0.5964), and its public spaces have the best accessibility and permeability. The public space quality of this ancient town was evaluated as excellent, especially in terms of spatial activities and spatial environmental facilities, which tourists rated as greater than 7. The spatial design of the ancient tourist town was divided into a natural ecological recreation area, a tourism distribution and service area, a recreational activities and experience area, and an old street-style commercial area. The study can provide a scientific basis for the protection and renewal of tourist landscapes.
