Abstract The purpose of this study is to produce suggestions that can be used as a reference material for the master plan of Street Performing place as a part of streetscape in the future. To achieve this, the dispersion of street performing places in Seoul planned by the public sector were investigated, and the survey targeting thirty-one street performers was conducted to locate places where street performances are actually being held. And the case study of the street performing places in Hongdae area where street performances are most actively being held was conducted to examine factors that influence the choice of street performers for their performing places and to produce future suggestions. Through this study, future suggestions regarding the site selection and the design for the street performing place were deducted. First of all, the site selection and the design should be connected with the distribution of a specialized cultural places of the region. Secondly, the compact performing stage which is close to the main flow of human traffic and enough seating area for audiences should be considered. Finally, possibility of using the area for common use should be considered, rather than excessive factors in designing solely for the street performance itself and idle space assignments.
