I would like to ask for advice on how to find appropriate methodology for cityscape assessment.
In my case cityscape - visual part of city (with social and cultural meaning) which is visible as a two-dimensional picture (silhouette and panorama) and I'm trying to identify influence of sociocultural aspects on cityscape formation.
I would be happy to get any suggestions.
Thank you, in advance
greeting
First, we must know that the urban cityscape is composed of various dimensions that have influenced the formation of a city (urban space) throughout its evolution.
Therefore, it is suggested that different layers of information in the project you are looking at are compared so that the interaction of these layers of information can lead to the conclusion that it is the cityscape formation process.
Some of these layers of information include:
local index and related features
Visual index and related features
Morphological index and related features
The historical evolution of urban cores
The method of landscape evaluation I know is to grasp the evaluation by SD method mainly by showing pictures.
For example, I have read a Japanese garden that was rated by students from different countries, and a comparison of favorable forest sizes in several similar countries.
In addition, Dr. Takahito Saiki points out that there are words used to describe topography in old Japanese text poems, as well as town styles that correspond to its location, which have been lost in modern times and the diversity of the city has also been lost.
I believe the methodology for cityscape assessment varies from locations to the other, hence there is not likely to be an appropriate methodology.
A scientific technique that allows such assessments to be called qualimetry. This is a scientific discipline that is taught in universities. This could be the mathematical basis of your research.
In addition to this, there are landscape-visual analysis techniques that are more subjective, expert in nature.
I find the comments interesting, and I think they can be applied to different sites
Dear Professor, I expect that the best methodology will be through asking questions and conducting a questionnaire for specialists, and it could be in two levels:
The first: for the specialized architects and designers
The second: for non-specialist followers
