Abstract: Research on different aspects of urban open spaces is a point to understand their transformations. The author reviewed the literatures on urban morphology, landscape ecology, policy evaluation, perception and aesthetics, history and sociology to equate theories and methodologies related to open space. Combining with mapping physical form and typological changes, investigation of the factors influencing morphology, deduction of what these morphological changes bring, these five sub-topics would construct a multi-dimension framework for open space study. With historical-GIS as database platform and analysis tools, this framework was adopt by the authors to study open space in Nanjing,which showed the potential of supporting interdisciplinary research and public participation as a open platform.
