Abstract The research is to configure the diagram analysis of behavior patterns especially by means of global positioning devices carried by elementary students in Seoul and prove whether there are coherent factors between its members' personal boundary responding to their periodical learning and activities. The research is to focus on the coalition between the activities and the urban context in order to verify that the learning community is an social entity sharing life cycle, site coverage, and study program in terms of group proximity. The public territory based on the learning community consisting of teachers, students and parents can be traced by the boundary of its members' activities as well as the coverage of their participation in the programs provided by public and private institutions in the society. The statistical analysis on the angular distance produced by the personal devices indexing their pathway is to back up the theoretical hypotheses that the geographical adjacency in the local community can provides more probability of coincidential activity and therefore a member with broader circumcetance may have more chance to juxtapose his activity patterns with other's one. Similar algorithm reflecting the group proximity can be examined through the surveyed data so that the learning community is to characterize the group identity by sharing its cycle and context for the goal of interactive learning. The territories from analysing personal circulations provide a conceptual proximity of the community that reflects social patterns and activities in the socio-physical context.
