Abstract
Even though this study is a spatial investigation that fundamentally focuses on the syntactical analysis of the Bolivar open space system, the analytical tool Space Syntax only furnishes connectivity measures for axial segments in the Bolivar neighborhoods. However, both DepthMap and Space Syntax are considered best for settlement analysis as an authoritative medium by means of graphical representation of connectivity among the open space network in the settlements under investigation. The results and discussion accompany an introduction to the nature of the damage following Hurricane Ike, along with a detailed description on the cohort of settlements and their axial dynamics.
