OVERVIEW OF TECHNIQUES OF ANALYSIS
Morphology and Typology in urban design
Surveys- Data Collection Techniques, types of survey,
questionnaire preparation, analytical and projection techniques
THE PROCESS
Collection of data
The HOW
List sources of these information various secondary sources for
ready primary data
Frame methodology of collecting data by primary means
Visual surveys and site studies
Questionnaire interviews, expert opinion surveys, public meetings, etc.
Types of Data:
Primary Data : Data collected on the site through surveys,
questionnaires etc.
Secondary Data: Secondary data is data that is collected from the
primary sources which can be used in the current research study. The
following are some ways of collecting secondary data:
Books
Records
Biographies
Newspapers
Published censuses or other statistical data
Data archives
Internet articles Research articles by other researchers (journals)
Databases
Mapping
Overlay mapping
GIS Mapping
Aerial Photographs
Digital Elevation model
Digital terrain model
Urban morphology
Figure-ground mapping
Typological analysis
Materials and components analysis
Walk-through analysis
What it is:
Analysis techniques used to study the present and past historical patterns
of urban structure, form, land use and patterns.
Provides an understanding of the existing physical form and structure of
the urban environment at different scales, from individual buildings, lots,
street patterns and blocks.

Activity Mapping
Active Frontages
Active frontages: It
is important that
buildings
present
active frontages to
the public spaces of
the city as far as
possible. By active
frontages we mean
ground floor shop
windows
or
transparent frontages
so that the activity
within the building is
visible
from
the
street.
Ped-shed Analysis
What it is:
Location of facilities within the walkable range in the residential sectors of Auroville
Historical Analysis
The richness of the urban realm is the product of a long process of
historical development.
If the site has an ancient history the study may include a detailed
archaeological investigation. More simply, it may identify those buildings, trees
and other structures which have been listed for protection, including sites of
scientific or ecological interest.
The analysis of the site and its history would conclude with a study of
more recent pressures on the urban structure, which would include an
analysis of recent planning documents in order to determine those
policies which currently affect development on the site.
Visual Analysis
The visual analysis has three main parts:
a study of a three dimensional public space,
a study of the two dimensional surfaces which enclose public space,
and
a study of architectural details which give an area its special character.
The most common
tools for recording
spatial
composition are
the camera and
the threedimensional
perspective drawn
from the normal
eye level.
Surveys
Surveys
What it is:
A systematic way of determining the views and opinions of a large number of
people on a particular topic through the use of interviews with structured
questions or a standardised questionnaire.
What its useful for:
Surveys can be used to gather large amounts of comparable and easily
quantifiable data, and to provide an objective basis for planning and future
action.
Placecheck
Placecheck (http://www.placecheck.info/) is a specific urban design
questionnaire for the community, developed by the UK Urban Design
Alliance, that reveals where improvements are needed and focuses on how
to achieve them.
1. Choose an area to Placecheck.
2. Spend an hour or so on a walkabout.
3.
Ask:
What do we like about this place?
What do we dislike about it?
What do we need to work on?
4. Think about why the place is as it is. Discuss how to make your
ideas happen, and who needs to be involved.
