on the upgrading process in informal settlements of Erbil city.The pattern of movement
in settlements related intensely to the configuration of the street grid, Much research
has found that the spatial configuration of streets shows an effective role in shaping
differences in the concentration of movement. The pattern of movement in streets has
the potential for affecting the type of social community created as well as development
of commercial activity. This paper adopted a procedure of configurational measurement
by building of space syntax computer model to measure the local and global
integration, connectivity, illegibility and synergy which represent the principal
measures in syntactic theory. This analysis is to evaluate the levels of importance
(centrality) of movement routes in (Badaw) informal settlement in Erbil. The study
concluded that the syntactic properties of informal settlement layout affect the levels of
importance of movement routes, and determined the rate of centrality in Badawi
informal area according to their streets and alleyways. The research contribution is to
measure the rate of movement network`s influence on the priorities' scale of informal
settlements upgrading in Erbil city.
