Abstract |
Applying objective and quantitative spatial analysis methods derived from Space Syntax theories, this study analyzes changing the characteristic of urban spatial configuration to urban sprawl and connects to the qualitative analysis of statistical data. The results are as follows. First, the Chun-Cheon city which had been developed to the south and north axis in the 60s and to the south and east axis in the 70s represented mono-nuclear configuration until the 80s. Even though the development of the new town in the 90s brought changes to the urban spatial configuration, the center of spatial configuration was resolved itself into the old downtown area through building a roads which had the organic relation to it in the 2000s. Second, although the Chun-Cheon city's old downtown has been declined due to the decrement of business and population rate, its importance and accessibility are keep still maintained Third, even though the new downtown has been built up because of the increment of business and population rate, it is not separated into the old and new downtown but integrated properly. Fourth, the result of analysis analyzed by using the principal road scheme drawing of 2020 master plan for chun-cheon city will be expected to improve the importance and accessibility of the old downtown. |
