Abstract

摘要

The paper investigates the effect of spatial configuration in creating pedestrian sense of safety in neighbourhood commercial streets in Malaysia.

本文探讨在马来西亚社区的商业街道中，空间形态对于营造行人安全感的作用。

To this end, space syntax analysis was applied to measure the syntactical variables.

为此，采用空间句法分析对句法变量进行测度。

Forty streets were chosen based on their integration measures in the global analysis.

在全局的分析中，基于它们的整合措施，选择了40条街道。

The questionnaires were distributed to collect data about legibility variables affecting pedestrian sense of safety.

发放问卷的目的是收集影响行人安全感的易读性变量的数据。

The impact of legibility factors on pedestrian sense of safety is examined by adopting confirmatory factor analysis.

采用验证性因子分析的方法考察了易读性因子对行人安全感的影响。

Then the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was computed to measure the relationship between syntactical variables and legibility factors.

然后计算Pearson积矩相关系数来衡量句法变量与易读性因素之间的关系。

The findings show that the legibility is strongly correlated with two syntactical variables, local integration and street connectivity.

研究结果表明，易读性与两个句法变量——地方整合和街道连通性密切相关。

In fact, the local integration and connectivity have positive correlation with two items of legibility such as easy navigation, clarity.

事实上，局部的整合性和连通性与易读性的两项如易导航性、清晰度具有正相关关系。

Thus, spatial configuration affects on legibility and consequently pedestrian sense of safety.

因此，空间配置会影响可读性，进而影响行人的安全感。

Good job！但是有些关键词还是要多查阅资料，比如第一句中的spatial configuration应该译为空间组构。

排版很好！
