Some of you wondered last Friday where would be possible to get some software that does spatial network analysis, as those done through Space Syntax methods. Here are a number of suggestions from some of my researcher colleagues:
-Webmap-At-Home: this is a simple but useful program, free to download that does Axial Analysis. It has been developed by Sheep Dalton, one of the key figures behind Space Syntax. I have added a link to it also in the Software list on the blog.
-AJAX for Windows developed at CASA, UCL.
-There are a number of other software (some old, some commercial or related to commercial products) here.
-There are also a number of licenses at the school for using PSD (Place Syntax, developed here at KTH Architecture) and Mapinfo. As far as I know they are installed in some of the computers closer to the door in the computer lab. Since not many people use them, you should ask the IT people if you find any problems, if anyone wants to give it a try. You can also ask me, and I can redirect you to someone that knows how to use it and set it up.
