An open GIS framework for recording and analysing post-occupancy changes in residential buildings — a climate-related case study

摘要: Abstract A GIS-based method is proposed, which simplifies recording and analysis of post-occupancy changes in residential buildings. Each modification considered as a unique record database, has string assigned to it multi-parametric matrix. Its position the matrix determined by functional relationships with other housing modifications, orientation, adjacent inner outer spaces, building materials physical size. The was tested three neighbourhoods two towns Negev desert Israel, intention (a) highlighting modifications related climatic performance buildings (b) developing set recommendations aimed at improving design new In surveyed, were made primarily ground-level apartments outdoor private spaces. Building appear vary different areas dwelling units, suggesting connection between dweller preferences response.
