I am a research student who wish to use space syntax to calculate street connectivity at suburb level. I have street network shape file available. I can create dxf file of the network and import into depthmap, however I do not know if this is correct way to do so. I read some papers on use of street centerline file as an axial map and running segment analysis to get the syntactic properties. Could anyone suggest me what approach should be taken if I want to use street network file to calculate global integration and choice. Any help is highly appreciated.
