DEVELOPMENT OF A TOOL TO DESCRIBE SEQUENTIAL STREETSCAPE CHANGES ON WALKING PATHES USING GAZE VECTOR METHOD

Abstract

This research develops a tool to quantitatively assess sequential streetscape changes along walking paths, enhancing the understanding of urban space depth through a new “streetscape change degree” metric. It builds on and extends gaze vector method to capture detailed spatial changes, validated by comparing traditional visible region indicators and a case study in Tokyo’s Kagurazaka area. The tool’s effectiveness in identifying nuanced streetscape transitions demonstrates its potential for broader urban analysis and insights into the experiential depth of urban and architectural spaces.
