Abstract In order to apply human behavioral properties such as visual information, spatial cognition or change of direction to space analysis techniques, the angle of space, namely the angular weight of space comes to be an important factor. The angular weight of space was firstly applied to integration of Space Syntax using axial map. However, there are some limits in it as it failed to normalize integration or to generate local integration. In this respect, 'Angular ERAM model' applied to axial map of urban space is proposed in this paper. Angular weighted ERAM model produces the centrality of space from the ratio of 'walk' in the network structure. In order to verify the effectiveness of these models, angular analysis of Space Syntax and ERAM model is carried out using a simple regular grid space. From this analysis, it is found out that 'Angular ERAM model' can provide an effective frame for angular weighted analysis.
