Analysis of functional requirements of walkway boundary in Hong Kong based on spatial nodes

Abstract

In order to improve the precision design of walkway boundary, systematic analysis on functional requirements was carried out based on different walkway space nodes in Hong Kong. By reviewing the current situation through literature visualization analysis tool (VOSviewer), it was found that the research on the functional requirements of the walkway boundary was lack of pertinence. Through conducting field study, the authors divided the spatial nodes of Hong Kong walkway into six categories. On the basis of the interaction between people and walkway boundary, the boundary functional requirements of different walkway space nodes were elicited through targeted analysis. 为提升步行道边界的精细化设计，文章基于香港不同步行道空间节点进行了系统的功能需求分析并通过文献可视化分析工具分析了当前的研究现状，发现步行道边界功能需求研究的针对性不足。通过实地研究，将香港步行道空间节点分成六类，进而从人与步行道边界的交互出发，针对性地进行了边界功能需求分析，得出了不同步行道空间节点的边界功能需求。
