Abstract


Morphological analyzation of street networks of settlements has become very popular in the last decades. Settlements and their subdistricts have different shapes and types of street networks. Connection between them and land use are not always predictable. This paper has been sought the connection among land use and built landscapes of subdistricts and urban street measuring indices for 4 built landscapes and 48 subdistricts. The analyzed built landscapes were the following: superblock, downtown, garden suburb on plate and garden suburb on hillside. The outcomes of morphological analysis methods such as street segment density, street network density, intersection density, connectivity index, shape ratio index and ratio of one-way streets were compared to each other. The author established connection among street network indexes with Mann-Whitney U test. The results show that built landscapes are predictable based on street networks in case of Budapest. These outcomes could support the regular urban design steps.
