ABSTRACT
The spatial structure of urban transportation is closely related to urban movements, as has been demonstrated by numerous previous studies. At the same time, other studies have shown a connection between urban movements and land-use patterns. However, no research has yet examined the three-way relationship between these factors, nor applied them to the assessment and recommendation for urban planning. This study explores the critical relationship between urban configuration, land use, and urban movement in shaping dynamic and socially cohesive urban environments. Leveraging Space Syntax theory and advanced overlay analysis techniques, this research conducts a detailed examination of the street network in Da Nang City, Vietnam, to critically assess the city's comprehensive urban planning project. The findings demonstrate a strong correlation between urban configuration, land use patterns, and urban mobility, highlighting their combined impact on the vitality of urban spaces and the promotion of social interaction. Furthermore, the study identifies both strengths and potential areas for improvement in Da Nang city's revised master plan, providing valuable insights for urban planners. By examining the city's current urban form, the research proposes a new urban structure centered around five functional cores, aimed at optimizing the urban configuration to build on existing strengths and support sustainable urban development.
