Real Relative Asymmetry First Use Phase (Descriptive Attribute)
Documentation Note
This measure is calculated according to the analytical section (i.e. Central Megaron Complex, Administrative Complex, Rowhouses West or Rowhouses East). The Real Relative Asymmetry (RRA) value is a measure of integration that is standardized to be useful for comparisons between differently sized spatial systems (Hillier and Hanson 1984:113). The RRA can be more or less than one (unlike the RA which is standardized to fall between zero and one), and higher RRA values indicate more asymmetry (VanDyke 1999:466).
The RRA is calculated by dividing the RA by a constant known as the D-value (Hillier and Hanson 1984:112). The formula is as follows: RRA = RA/Dk where Dk = the D value for k spaces.
These values describe the first use phase.
