This research paper examines the efficacy of the Space Syntax theory in analyzing the spatial suitability of the location of urban services within a Palestinian urban community, specifically in Hajjah. The study emphasizes the importance of incorporating specific Space Syntax parameters, such as integration, connectivity, and choice, with spatial configuration analysis to understand the performance of urban services in a given area. The study utilized axial map analysis to generate a comprehensive set of maps and graphs, providing an in-depth understanding of the spatial distribution and performance of different urban services in the study area. The analysis revealed that while some facilities, such as the health clinic and park, are located in favorable locations, others, such as the gas stations and some schools, require better placement. These findings can guide policymakers and urban planners in designing more efficient and accessible urban environments that cater to the community’s diverse needs. The study underscores the potential of the Space Syntax theory to inform more equitable and efficient planning and design in urban areas.
