Abstract This study aims to clarify the characteristics of pedestrian space use patterns according to land use by analyzing the correlation between pedestrian network and pedestrian volume. A brief summary of the study results is as follows: first, the correlation between pedestrian volume and space network in residential areas was very low; second, there was a close relationship between pedestrian volume and space network in business areas; and third, with respect to the commercial areas, the pedestrian volume characteristic of the entire commercial area surrounding Namdaemun Market and that of Namdaemun Market itself were different, where the correlation between pedestrian volume and space network was high in the commercial area excluding Namdaemun Market, but became low when the market was included. As the results show, while the correlation between pedestrian network and pedestrian volume was R^2=0.515 in downtown Seoul, there was a very close correlation when it was broken down and analyzed according to the type of land use, and this signified that correlation between pedestrian network and pedestrian volume differed according to land use. The study results suggest that when planning for pedestrian space, in business and commerce areas need a plan that puts more emphasis on space network over comfort of pedestrian environment, and in the case of residential areas, comfort of pedestrian walkways are more important than space network.
