| Abstract |
As there are not enough social and cultural resource in a new town, the physical structure of the new town is important to make the image of the new town. This research investigated and evaluated the whole image of Bundang New Town and measured the legibility of urbanscape. The major image of Bundang New Town was the ‘planned city’ and the representative place was around ‘Seohyeon Station’ include ‘AKplaza Department’. Many residents of Bundang New Town recognized the city centers easily but a little of them identified the residence district of their own community. Especially, at the apartment complex, the respondents showed low urbanscape cognition. For the next new town developments, the urban design should provide more sense of place, the residence districts with unique design and the community identity. |
