Abstract

We introduce Random Walk Closeness (RWC) to the space syntax computational paradigm. Random walks are stochastic processes in which an unbiased walker traverses a network purely based on his current location. Random walks have been used by space syntax in an agent based scenario, where results are simulation based. Here, the results are mathematical based, i.e. RWC is derived from access times, which are the average number of steps it takes to walk between locations. Results suggest an improvement in correlating pedestrian movement over Integration, RA and network Closeness.
