On the top row on the left shows Pedestrian Traffic. I did a demographic study on a Tuesday night at 7pm across the street from the site. I found it interesting that there were a significant amount of men that walked by compared to women. The number of men that walked by were 163 in 15 mins. On the other hand the number of women that walked by in 15 minutes were 98. I also looked at pets (dogs), and their number was 5.In order for me to get a full understanding of the amount of people that walked by in a hour, I multiplied the amound by 4 since I only focused on a 15 minute time period. So within an hour the amount of men were 652, and the amount of women were 392. And for pets the number would be 20 in an hour. Below the top row shows just paths of men and women.
The middle column on the top looks at business locations. Red dots indicate eateries, blue dots are for entertainment locations, and yellow dots are clothing stores. Below the center top row shows circles. These circles indicate the impact that It would have on other business locations within a 1 block radius. If there are businesses that are located across the street or down the block, then there will be competition.
The last column on the top row shows the interesting silhouttes of shadows that formed from the buildings around the site. Below the top row shows three different colors yellow, blue, and magenta. Yellow signifies shadows that have different and unusual silhouettes. Blue shows shadow silhouettes that have a basic shape of a general rectangle. Magenta shows the shadows that formed on a main street like Lafayette along with private streets like Bond Street.
The last row is the Manhattan Site Study.
The bottom row on the left is Park Locations. I did research on the Parks around the city. I found out that there were alot of parks in lower Manhattan and midtown. But when It came to uptown and around parks like Central Park, the Park locations started to become scarce. This rule say: "If there are small parks in specific areas, you will find another small park within walking distance. On the other hand, if there is a park at a larger scale like Central Park, then the probability decreases of finding another park within walking distance."
The bottom row and the center column deals with Subway Transportation. Subway Transportations flows throughout the city. But there is a place where all of these trains come at one point. That one point is of course "Times Square". Everyone knows that Times Square is the heart of New York City where everything comes together. This rule says, "If a variety of trains intersect at a given point, the human population of that area will be denser than non-intersecting rain areas.
Lastly the bottom row and last column is all about Hotel Locations around Manhattan. This map shows a direct relationship to my research dealing with train intersections. Hotel Locations are found through Manhattan as well, but there is a huge amount located in the heart of the City, Times Square. This rule say, "If there is a large amount of hotels in one specific area in a city like New York the amount of traffic, humans, litter, pollution, businesses,etc. will be higher than non-hotel areas. Also the amount of tourists of that given area will start to rise.
