Evaluating the connectivity level of Fayoum city roads network: a new method using GIS
Road networks within cities are a vital component of the socio-economic development processes. Many countries have sought to examine and evaluate the efficiency of road networks within urban areas because of the increasing demand for transportation. Thus, networks should be evaluated to guide the development of transport systems and infrastructure within cities.
This study evaluates the connectivity level of the road network parts in Fayoum city, Egypt, through the application of some indicators of connectivity measurement, such as Beta, Alpha, Gamma, Connectivity degree, and the density of edges and nodes. The study follows a new method for evaluation; it does not apply the indicators on the network as a whole; however,
it divides the city into zones and calculates the indicators of each zone using the Arc GIS 10.2.1 program.
The authors applied the map Algebra method to map the results of the six indicators in one index called the Total Connectivity Index (TCI). The TCI gives more consistent results than other indices, and it is more related to different spatial patterns of roads. According to this indicator, most of the city road network seem to have a good connectivity level, whereas the city marginal areas prove to have a poor connectivity level. Therefore, any efforts to develop or construct new roads should be in the marginal areas of the city.
