Research note: A transferable entropy-centrality method for urban stability analysis
This Research Note presents a proof-of-concept methodology for evaluating urban stability by integrating entropy with a novel graph-based centrality measure. We propose the HA2/P index, where the squared convex hull area of a street segment’s reachable zone is divided by its perimeter, capturing both extent and compactness of accessibility. Weighted by indicators such as building area, population, greenery, and water, this index was calculated fo…
Visibility and Reachability of Interwar Modernism (Kaunas Case)
This article presents a novel methodology for assessing the visibility and reachability of cultural heritage objects within urban structures, tested through a pilot study in Kaunas New Town (Naujamiestis), Lithuania. While heritage protection policies usually emphasize architectural composition, details, and external visual protection zones, interior urban views and functional spatial dynamics remain underexplored. Building upon Space Syntax theo…
Simulative Modeling of Psychologically Acceptable Architectural and Urban Environments Combining Biomimicry Approach and Concept of Architectural/Urban Genotype as Unifying Theories
This research explores the integration of biomimicry and architectural/urban genotype concepts to model psychologically acceptable environments. Drawing on foundational psychological theories—Gestalt, Attention Restoration, Prospect-Refuge, and Environmental Psychology—this study examines the private–public interface at the various urban resolutions, encompassing land plots, buildings, and urban structures. Biomimicry serves as a unifying framewo…
Mathematical Graph Based Urban Simulations as a Tool for Biomimicry Urbanism
Biomimicry studies natural systems and attempts to use the gained knowledge and understanding to solve human problems. Can biomimicry, if applied in urban planning, help to make our cities more sustainable or, precisely, more friendly for walkable and 15-minute city models? Various researchers identify the following features of natural systems as form fits function, catalysis of cooperation, local contextuality, continuity of development, diversi…
Understanding community perspective on the heritage of locality: Memory map methodology
Purpose Community involvement in heritage preservation requires appropriate approaches. Sanciai (in Lithuanian: Šanciai) historic district in Kaunas (Lithuania) has long-lasting military and industrial heritage, valuable urban structure and connections to the natural frame of the city. Sanciai residents’ willingness to participate in heritage preservation and urban planning prompted the aim of this research – to develop, test and present the mapp…
Digital Placemaking for Urban Regeneration: Identification of Historic Heritage Values in Taiwan and the Baltic States
The active use of modern technology has affected the relationship between people and place. The “digital environment” and the “digital community” are becoming an increasingly important factor in people’s daily life, leading to a loss of belonging to a place, an entire neighbourhood, and a community. In the long run, this poses risks to the unification of values and the loss of identity. In this context, the involvement of the local community in t…
Integrating Content Analysis Into Urban Research: Compatibility With Sociotope Method and Multimodal Graph
The content analysis approach is well-established and acknowledged sociological research technique, although it is constantly evolving and its field of application is expanding. The aim of the article is to demonstrate the possibilities to use the content analysis method in urban studies. It includes the analysis of literature and the example of methodology design in the frame of case of the study of modernization of Lithuanian cities during the …
