Abstract

The historic district of Cunha Street is a typical Portuguese commercial block in Macao. However, with the development of the city, the space forms of the districts in Cunha Street fail to update accordingly, resulting in the declining number of the tourists compared with that of the past. In view of this, by applying the method combing the Space Syntax, Traffic flow, and Poi business data, an analysis on the operation mode of the districts in Cunha Street is carried out,so as to explore the influences of space forms on the Choice of tourists and on the distribution of business forms in Cunha Street. Meanwhile, based on the aspects of optimizing space structure and bettering tourism experience for tourists, an evaluation system on the operation mode is constructed. In allusion to the analytic results, the suggestions of reconstruction strategy on the form distribution of businesses and space structure of roads are proposed.
