%T A Quantitative Analysis of the Sensitivity of the Axial and Road Centreline Space Syntax Mapping Techniques

%X This thesis conducted an experimental study to quantify the sensitivity of the angular configurational measures of the axial map and road centreline map of Groningen in order to develop a function that would allow for the error in the data collection process to be distributed and error bounds on the configurational measures to be determined. Further, this thesis aimed to compare the sensitivities of the axial map and the road centreline map to improve the application of Space Syntax. Tentative formulae were developed to quantify the uncertainty for the axial map and the road centreline map. It was shown that the measure of angular choice was significantly more robust than angular integration. Additionally, it was shown that the road centreline map and the axial map were equally sensitive for angular integration. For angular choice, the road centreline map was more sensitive locally and the axial map was more sensitive globally.
