Street Quality Measurement and Accessibility Analysis Based on Streetscape Data: The Case of Mingcheng District in Xi’an City by Wenting Zhang, Jiajing Chen, Yixin Tian

“…The findings indicate the following: (1) The spatial quality of streets in Mingcheng District ranges from 1.89 to 5.61, based on the scores ranked from highest to lowest; the streets are categorized into five quality levels: very high, high, medium, low, and very low. (2) Using a radius of 0.8 km for calculation, streets with a centrality value of 600 or above are classified as having high accessibility, whereas those below this threshold are considered to have low accessibility. (3) By constructing a “quality–accessibility” evaluation matrix, the following distribution is obtained: 21.4% of streets are classified as high-quality and high-accessibility, 27.1% as high-quality but low-accessibility, 35.3% as low-quality but high-accessibility, and 16.3% as both low-quality and low-accessibility.
