ArchIndex:基于多源数据的城市街区检索引擎

ArchIndex:A Web-based and Data-driven Retrieval System for City Blocks

城市街区检索引擎是一种城市认知智能,通过整合和呈现多源城市数据,建立城市空间检索模型,从而简化城市设计前期的认知和调研。文章通过动态网页提供城市街区检索引擎ArchIndex,在可定期更新的空间关系数据库的基础上,采集街区实例数据,建立形态、功能、活力三个方面的向量化指标,用于城市街区的检索与可视化。最终方案实现了分布式运行部署,可对任意城市建立索引,用云端计算与网页应用,为城市形态学研究提供了易用的工具和新的方法。

The city block search engine is a type of urban cognitive intelligence.By extracting various sources of city data and establishing a city block retrieval model,it can simplify the cognition of urban design in the early stage.This study introduces ArchIndex,featuring a dynamic web-based city block search engine.Based on a regularly updated spatial relation database,it collects city data and builds indicators of form,function and activity for retrieval and visualization of morphology.The study can establish indexes for any city through distributed cloud computing.Via its web application,it supplies user-friendly tools and pioneering methods conducive to urban morphology research.
