2、 Ayman, Hassaan, Mahmoud, Reham, Omar Abstract Trees are a major factor in dening the spatial qualities of outdoor spaces. This study investigates the inuence of spatial conguration produced by the proposed tree planting design on the visual elds of an urban park using space syntax theory. Space syn
3、tax theory assumes that an urban area can be represented as a matrix of connected spaces. The quantitative properties of this matrix in the form of syntactic measures can be measured using computer simulations. This research investigates how space syntax techniques can help assess the effect of tree
4、 congurations on the social structure of a small-scale garden in an urban park. Such techniques are assumed useful in predicting the social structure of the proposed space and in assessing design alternatives. An experimental study using three different planting design proposals for an urban park is
5、 conducted. Data are analyzed using space syntax techniques. Results reveal a signicant effect of planting congurations on syntactic measures across the three proposals. This study suggests that space syntax techniques may have a signicant value in the assessment of schematic planting design, especi
6、ally at the pedestrian movement level. KEYWORDS: Landscape design; Space syntax; Planting; Urban parks; Cairo 1. Introduction The current literature has investigated the inuence of landscape vegetation on the frequency and range of movement (Shriver, 1997; Foltte and Piombini, 2007; Chamberlain and Meitner, 2013) and on the choices of routes in specic places such as public gardens (Loiteron and Bishop, 2005). However, these studies are focused on pedestrian behavior in small and closed s
