Understanding the nature of traffic accidents in relation to urban access networks is crucial for building safer and more resilient cities. This paper examines the issue of traffic accidents through the lenses of urban configurational theory and urban land use. Three data layers were used in the study, including space syntax analysis conducted in Depthmap X, geotagged traffic accidents collected by the police department, and geotagged land-use data. The method involved superimposing these data layers and exploring potential correlations using a geographic information system (GIS). The findings indicate significant correlations between the spatial frequency of traffic accidents and the choice measure (at 2500 m), local integration, and active land use. The findings of this study can help inform planners and policymakers about the best location to implement safety measures to reduce the risk of traffic accidents in urban access networks.
了解与城市交通网络相关的交通事故的本质对于建设更安全、更具韧性的城市至关重要。本文从城市形态理论和城市土地利用的角度审视交通事故问题。研究中使用了三个数据层，包括在Depthmap X中进行的空间句法分析、警察局收集的带有地理标签的交通事故数据以及带有地理标签的土地利用数据。该方法包括叠加这些数据层，并使用地理信息系统（GIS）探索潜在的相关性。研究结果表明，交通事故的空间频率与选择测度（在2500米处）、局部可达性和活跃土地利用之间存在显著相关性。本研究的结果可以帮助规划者和政策制定者了解实施安全措施以降低城市交通网络中交通事故风险的最佳位置。
