This research aims to derive characteristics of pedestrian-friendly neighborhood environmental factors - physical and non-physical factors - implemented in 'Ecomobility World Festival 2013 Suwon' in Haenggung-dong. The indices, which are derived from the preceding researches on the factors for the pedestrian environments, are categorized into physical and non-physical factors, and further characterized into safety, comfort, convenience, connectedness, accessibility and locality. The analysis concludes that physical factors on pedestrian-friendly neighborhood environment are carried out mainly in the streets nearby commercial areas, whereas the non-physical factors are implemented in the streets throughout the targeted district. The residents in the targeted district shows satisfactions with each index on physical factors, but not with the non-physical factors. The main reason for the dissatisfaction is that the non-physical factors provided during the project were halted after the project. Sudden suspension resulted in a relative dissatisfaction to the residents who enjoyed the non-physical factors during the project. For pedestrian-friendly neighborhood environment, both non-physical and physical factors need to be established in the project plan. |
