Abstract:Good connectivity of waterfront channel in Lingnan water town can improve the vitality of waterfront space and its leisure sightseeing and cultural experience. With the rapid development of urbanization, waterfront channel has problems of poor patency, weak spatial permeability and low agglomeration efficiency. This paper takes Sanjiao Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province as the research object, by useing Space Syntax, five indexes of connection value, depth value, global integration, whole choice and pedestrian choice are chosen to analyze the connectivity of waterfront channel. Then, an evaluation index system is established by entropy weight method to comprehensively evaluate the connectivity of waterfront channel in Sanjiao Town based on villagers' demands and index data. The current situation and spatial form of the waterfront are analyzed by combining qualitative and quantitative analysis.
