Abstract Mt. Namsan has been a symbolic element of Seoul, but its own feature has been destroyed by accident and by design since the late 19th century. To restore its ecological, historical, and recreational features, lots of project have been executed after the 1990's. Among them, it is pragmatically important to make easy access to Mt. Namsan, because Mt. Namsan is a central park of Seoul, where people stop the music in their busy urban lives for a while and can take a rest with cozy nature in the urban center. Here it was studied how to improve the accessibility to Mt. Namsan, based on the users' survey. According to the statistical analysis, travel time, traffic mode and stay time have grate influences on the accessibility to Mt. Namsan. Focusing on three variables, it was suggested how to reduce travel time in particular by Namsan circular bus, secure quiet pedestrian milieu especially against bikes, and attract visitors by diverse programs.
