Abstract

Encouraging pedestrian activities and creating a pedestrian-friendly environment are closely related to the quality of urban residents’ lives. The efforts to create a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood have continued in the history of the construction of New towns in Korea. Sejong City is the latest case among these attempts. In this paper, the characteristics of the walkable neighborhood environment for each neighborhood district in Sejong City were identified and analyzed through an analysis framework created with reference to prior studies, based on the contents of the district unit plan and the field observation survey. As a result, there were many differences between the 2-2 and 2-3 neighborhood units. The 2-2 neighborhood unit has a grid-like road network and neighborhood convenience facilities are concentrated in the center. And to create a safe, comfortable and active walking environment, various sections were designated and the use of roadside buildings were managed. On the contrary, the 2-3 neighborhood unit has irregular road networks and distributed neighborhood convenience facilities. And access to these facilities is possible through a three-dimensional radiation-type walking path linked to the central green space. In a follow-up study, it is expected to be understood how these differences in physical characteristics of walking neighborhood environment affect the actual walking behavior of the residents, furthermore to be able to grasp the physical conditions and implications for the place to be actually activated by residents.
