Abstract The concept of affordance, seeing the relationship between environment and human behavior as closed corresponding relation, has been actively adapting to the field of environmental design because of its conceptual usefulness. However, there are few researches of both sites planning with affordance as a strategy and its interpretation with affordance as an analytic method. This study conducts reinterpretation of the basic plan of Hongcheon Local Cultural Complex submitted for a vibrant local culture and economy. With focus on the concept of affordance, the study concludes followings: (1) By created usability based on the consideration of related social and economic conditions in off-site areas, the application strategy of affordance approaches from the practical direction. (2) Suitable affordance in on-site is drafted by the followings: topological aspects, use-behavior, subspaces based on spatial design criteria, cognition of spatial units' affordance, and creation of usability. (3) Perceived affordance and planning affordance are compared to see the relation in terms of activity, temporality, and spatiality, and the results illustrate significant contents. These results demonstrate that the view of affordance is adequate for planning approach of urban design and site plan. Moreover, the view is an useful frame as an analytic method.
