A topological approach to the creative city: artists’ perceptions of cultural places in Paris
基于267位艺术家的心理地图调查，提出用拓扑学分析创意城市的新框架，从艺术家主观感知出发量化文化场所的声誉与网络，适合城市研究者与艺术政策制定者参考。
Abstract The paper delivers a framework for the analysis of creative cities based on a topology of cultural places and artists’ perceptions of these places in the Paris Region. We apply this framework to a survey of 267 artists by using mental maps to capture their perceptions of the places they regard as having contributed the most to their creativity. A quantitative treatment of these representations was conducted to identify what places attracted what artists, analyzing the reputation of places among artists and the properties of the network of creative places in the Paris region. The study renews the approach of creates city by replacing the mainstream approach with a subjective but quantified vision that starts from the artists’ perceptions of the places that impact their creativity.
