Application of space syntax as presentation and analysis technique in the study of spatial integration in contoured landform

Recent discussion of spatial integration through the identification of the configuration space focuses on urban
areas with relatively flat topography. The vertical element associated with the elevation of physical space in the
formation of urban space is often ignored. This paper is a literature review of early stages of a research focuses
on application of space syntax techniques for contoured landform. In the assessment of spatial integration on
contoured urban area, space syntax can be used as a data presentation and analysis techniques in a graphical way
based on the quantification of spatial data, space syntax can be supported by Geographical Information Systems
(GIS) to show the empirical conditions of the spatial integration of urban space in three dimensions. Urban
space configuration in a contoured area needs to consider the topography, specifically in the development of the
movement path that connects the activity in each space between the spaces and activities which affect each
other, either in directly related space or in a context of the urban structure.
