    Task – Street Network Analysis

    In this exercise you shall compute and interpret different centrality-measures of the street network of Weimar! Therefore use the map from the tutorial and first calculate for your street the angular and metric closeness and betweenness centrality for the Radius n (global, no restriction) and 600 m (local). Furthermore figure out how walkable your street is (using walkscore.com).

    The second task is to interpret the analysis results and create an abstract diagram for representing the spatial structure of Weimar. Identify important local and global centers and connectors. How is the city structured and to what extend does this computed representation reflect the real situation that you experience?

     

    Submission formalities:

    PDF with one screenshot showing one street network analysis around your street, the different centrality numbers for your street and the interpretative diagram representing the spatial structure of Weimar. To create this PDF please use the Powerpoint-Template  that is attached.

    Please submit until 18.12., 20:00!
