4.2.1.1 Analyzing Activity Types and Design Features relationship in Al- Ain Square To find out how design features affect people‘s activity type, consideration of how many people were using the space regarding the design features throughout the all observation sessions is required. In the other words, to understand the activity type and the use of the design features relationship determining the activity frequency is needed. The Table 3 is the outcome of working with ―Symbology‖ and using the ―Frequency‖ tool by selecting two attribute fields of activity type and design features. Thus, the result displayed how many people were doing what (activity type) and were using what type of design features. Table 3. Activity Type and Design Features_ Al- Ain Square Activity Level
