Abstract
Spaces can be seemed as restricted resources in construction sites when two or more trades constructed in the same area. Thus, conflicts occurred to reduce various productivity losses due to convenience and connectivity of different spaces not exactly identical. The more significant Space syntax parameters for a space were calculated, the much more productivity loss is reduced. Space Syntax is a theory developed by Professor Bill Hiller form London University, and it reveals the hidden interactivity of spaces under architectural designed diagram. The definition of Critical Space discussed in this dissertation is identical to the definition of Critical Path in CPM theory. It means there is no floating space, as floating time to critical path, to critical space, and it leads huge and critical productivity loss as conflicts occur. Related researches indicated critical space can be identified by applications of space syntax to avoid critical productivity loss occurring. However, quantitative assumptions are not completely proven yet, especially quantitative parameters, Rn and Cv, are not identified to analyze the dynamitic axial lines as well.he design of questionnaire is combined with site survey, site crew investigation and fuzzy theory. A Research Building construction for a University of Science and Technology in North Taiwan is demonstrated as a real case. Whether quantitative parameters being identified to analyze the dynamitic axial lines or not can be proven by real case analysis and questionnaires survey. The productivity loss function and curve for conflicting in critical space can also be calculated. Moreover, the development of critical space index will attribute significantly for critical space identification.
