Description
Summary:This research explores the evaluation methods for waterfront public spaces based on different project scales. It categorises the evaluation methods into three levels: large-scale, medium-scale, and small-scale, and proposes the most effective evaluation strategies for each. This study selected waterfront spaces in 38 Chinese cities and 17 international cities as case studies to analyse spatial evaluation methodologies and high-frequency keywords across varying spatial scales. Based on a systematic review of literature published in the past five years, the research employed term frequency analysis to investigate narrative patterns in academic discourse, supplemented by a data-driven analysis of 120 papers for keyword extraction and thematic categorisation. The results indicate that at the macro scale, design evaluation optimises the placement of planning points; at the medium-scale, feedback can be used to adjust spatial layouts and functions; and at the micro scale, dynamic updates of service facilities are possible. This study provides effective methods for more precise analysis of user needs and design optimization strategies.
