Saniah Ahmad Zaki & Jamalunlaili AbdullahThe Relationship Between Variations of Grid Layout and Burglarylevels of spaces, other syntactical variables can also obtained. These include:connectivity, intelligibility, and synergy. Connectivity refers to the degree ofconnections of each line to another; intelligibility is the relationship between theglobal integration and connectivity that shows how well residents and visitorsare able to understand in moving in and out of an area; and synergy of a layout(local-to-global), is the measure of co-presence between residents and strangersin the area. Burglary data of three years (2006 – 2008) provided by theMalaysian Royal Police Force (PDRM), was mapped as dots onto axial map.But, in complying with the confidentiality of the burglary data, the study areashave been anonymised and named as Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.AS S Y A ASThe case study areas are located within a local authority area in the KlangValley. These areas, which are socio-economically homogenous, are all laid outin different variations of grid, that is from the more pure grid to the lesser pureor impure grid. The inherent features of the layouts are that they generallyconstitute through, linear streets and in some areas with very few cul-de-sacs.Houses that are mainly terraced tend to line up the streets with front of thehouses facing onto the local roads and the back onto back lanes.The roads are arranged hierarchically, linking the local roads to the mainroad. Although this arrangement may be common in Malaysian residentiallayouts, in some, the hierarchical layout are more prominent than others. Areas5 and 6 are examples of areas with such layout compared to the other areas.These varied hierarchies relates to permeability of the layouts. Areas with moredirect access to the main roads tend to be more permeable than those that haveless direct access and are also more hierarchical.In considering these features, the areas are indexed based on a 4-pointscale as follows:© 2012 by MIP 22
