Abstract

High engagement of crowd in public realm creates a natural surveillance strategy. The selection of types of green roof pathway network design influences the rate of public engagement that helps in assuring public safety while enjoying the green roof facility. The application of Space Syntax as a research methodology helps determine the pathway design layout with the highest traffic concentration. Comparison between a similar number of nodes and axial lines revealed that an axial line with more intersecting points offers more opportunities for better public engagement, shown by higher traffic concentration in tandem with natural surveillance strategy on green roofs.
