The spatial configuration of local climate zones reveals effects on wayfinding in human walking

significant level of 0.01, while negative relationships were shown between the intelligibility val- ues and the values of PD metric in LCZ 3 (compact low-rise), LCZ 5 (open mid-rise), and LCZ 6 (open mid-rise) as well as the value of IJI metric in LCZ 9 (sparsely built) and LCZ D (low plants) (Table 2(a)). Furthermore, at the patch level, intelligibility-based wayfinding was posi- tively affected by the value of ENN metric in LCZ1 (compact high-rise), LCZ 2 (compact mid- Fig 4.
