Space Syntax를 활용한 공간구조속성과 공간사용패턴의 상호관련성 연구

This research investigates the relationship between properties of spatial configuration and patterns of pedestrian and vehicular movement. Insadong area in Seoul is studied in detail. Observations were made of movement flows in the area, and analysis of the spatial characteristics of the area using ‘space syntax’ methods provided a common basis for examining these association. Results show spatial configuration is well related to movement. The main finding is that ‘local integration’ of the area is the most significant variable in relations between spatial configuration and pedestrian movement, and ‘global integration’ for vehicular flows. The increment of depth from the main street sharply decrease the movement level. These findings suggest that spatial configuration play an important role in determining people’s level of space use.
