| Abstract |
This study aims to identify the behavior patterns of an urban linear park, which reuse an abandoned railroad, utilizing behavioral mapping in GIS and behavioral observations through time-lapse. The results of this study are as follows. First, the urban linear park is used consistently without distinctions between weekdays and week-ends. Second, resting behaviors prefer open spaces and are affected by external conditions such as shade, scenery, etc. Furthermore, open spaces are jointly used as a social interaction areas for communication behaviors. Third, moving behaviors are emerged as a linear pattern use, due to the morphological characteristics of the linear park. In addition, walk-oriented activities represent an overwhelming ratio of moving behaviors. It shows a definite difference in the conventional neighborhood park’s behavior patterns with respect to rest, talk, seeing, appointed place and so on. The results suggest that the circulation plan of the linear park and the link with neighboring urban areas deserve more attention, while the significance of the park facilities is relatively low, due to morphological characteristic of the linear park. |
