Analyzing the legibility of the spaces of urban metro stations using the method of space syntax (case study: El Goli and Kohen stations in Tabriz)

The legibility of the space in urban metro stations has an effective role on the efficiency and quality of the spaces due to the public review. In this regard, there is a significant relationship between the view and the natural movement of users on the readability. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the factors affecting the legibility of urban underground spaces in two stations, El Goli and Maidan Kohn, Tabriz. In this research, the descriptive and analytical method is used, and the method of collecting information is library and field; In this way, the data analysis was done using the space syntax technique and based on graphic and statistical maps extracted from natural vision and motion analysis with Depthmap software, which affect the readability of urban metro station spaces. The findings of the research show that the legibility of the space is related to the parameters of depth, cohesion and connection. The higher the depth of the space, the less connected the space and the more complicated the spatial communication. As a result, the visibility and movement of users decreases and the readability of the space decreases. Finally, for better readability of the stations, you can use; Wide plans and central circulation near the entrance, considered more infrastructure for crowded areas and not using narrow spaces and long corridors.
