The spatial configuration of local climate zones reveals effects on wayfinding in human walking (2023)
Journal Article
Fan, P. Y., Chun, K. P., Tan, M. L., Mah, D., Mijic, A., Strickert, G., & Yetemen, O. (2023). The spatial configuration of local climate zones reveals effects on wayfinding in human walking. PLoS ONE, 18(9), e0289780. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0289780

The importance of easy wayfinding in complex urban settings has been recognized in spatial planning. Empirical measurement and explicit representation of wayfinding, however, have been limited in deciding spatial configurations. Our study proposed an...

Identifying the impacts of land-use spatial patterns on street-network accessibility using geospatial methods (2023)
Journal Article
Fan, P. Y., Chun, K. P., Mijic, A., Tan, M. L., Zhai, W., & Yetemen, O. (2024). Identifying the impacts of land-use spatial patterns on street-network accessibility using geospatial methods. Geographical Analysis, 56(2), 284-302. https://doi.org/10.1111/gean.12374

While the land use-street network nexus is well acknowledged, evidence for the one-way impacts of land-use patterns on street accessibility is still inadequate. The measurements of land-use patterns and street accessibility lack systematic knowledge....

Greenspaces are argued to be one of the important features in the urban environment that impact the health of the population. Previous research suggested either positive, negative or no associations between greenspaces and health-related outcomes. Th...
