| Abstract |
1st generation of new town development initiated around 1980s is generally inconsiderate on sustaining community. The 2nd generation of new town development which has planned 20 years later, has brought dramatic improvement on that issue. This study compares the pedestrian spaces between 1st and 2nd generations of the new town. In the beginning, This study listed types of pedestrian spaces from previous studies. There are two different analyses. Fist, we analysed each type of pedestrian space quantitative. Second, we analysed connectivity and accessibility of each pedestrian space. The comparison and analysis of the pedestrian space in drawings leads us to derive major changes in pedestrian space and network design of new town development in Korea. As a result, we confirmed in detail that the pedestrian zones are more accessible and, the connections in the pedestrian zones are stronger in 2nd generations than those of 1st generations. Even though our research only exposed that the 2nd generation is more 'pedestrian friendly' comparing with 1st generation through documental analysis, it gives a basic foundation for further studies like analyzing actual pedestrian behaviors. |
