AN EXAMINATION OF THE IMPACT OF THE SPATIAL LAYOUT OF MARKET STALLS ON THE QUALITY OF THEIR VISIBILITY USING ISOVIST FIELD: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

City markets attract people with their content. Whether this content will be visually perceived depends on its exposure to users. It is generally known that users naturally gravitate towards spaces that are clear and easy to navigate. Visual-spatial quality is therefore one of the main characteristics of such city spaces, which are often overlooked in the design process, and it is necessary to work on their improvement. The purpose of this research is to make a contribution in terms of the possibility of incorporating visibility analysis into the decision-making process in city markets design by using isovist fields to evaluate their visual-spatial configurations.
