Abstract

This article presents a study on the morphology of the city through an analysis of its urban network, this is done with an open source tool called Urban Network Analysis (UNA) for ArcGIS. UNA calculates three types of centrality measures in urban networks: scope, intermediation and proximity, scope analysis, captures how many surrounding buildings each building reaches within a given search radius, intermediation analysis counts the number of potential pedestrians each building, and the proximity analysis that indicates how contiguous a building is to all other surrounding buildings within a given distance threshold. The objective of this article is to analyze the public space of the Historic Center of Hermosillo as a basis for proposing an urban network, observing the behavior of urban morphology with the population density of the field of study.
