Study on Evaluation of Space Vitality in Torpoint by Using Analytic Hierarchy Process
Journal: Journal of Building Technology DOI: 10.32629/jbt.v3i1.246
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to establish an evaluation system to evaluate space vitality objectively using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Through an extensive literature review, a preliminary list of evaluation criteria was obtained and used to construct an AHP model. An AHP survey was then conducted with architecture students to calculate the weight of each evaluation factor. Also, the model was applied to Toproint, a small town near Tamar River in UK, to test its applicability and identify the spatial features in the chosen sites.
