Empirical Data Collection and Analysis, and Connecting Data with Space Syntax

Inprevious chapters, we demonstrated various analytic techniques focusing on the spatial aspects of the built environment. In this chapter, we discuss various methods and techniques for collecting qualitative andquantitative data dealing with human behaviour and how to connect such data to the results from various space syntax analyses. This chapter provides a brief introduction to these methods to stimulate ideas for connecting an array of spatial and socio-economicdata to space syntax. At the end of this chapter, we provide an exercise, references, and further readings.
