ABSTRACT
The correlation between road network accessibility and land use is mainly considered
a spatial-topological relationship, thus making it difficult to reveal accurately. In consideration
of the road speed limit and network structure, this paper constructed a road network accessibility
model based on weighted spatial syntax. A correlation analysis between road network accessibility
and land use was then conducted and compared with those based on relative asymmetry (RA) and
normalized angular choice (NACH) by regarding the central district of Fuzhou City as an example.
Results showed that the roads with good accessibility by RA and NACH were presented as ‘grid’ roads.
The result of road network accessibility by weighted RA and NACH could better reflect the actual
effect of road network accessibility than RA and NACH. Furthermore, the road network accessibility
by weighted RA and NACH could improve the correlation analysis between road network accessibility
and urban land use, especially in NACH. Results could provide a scientific reference for the urban
planning and development.
