| Abstract |
As a preliminary research, this study explores the concept of Shared Streets within Korean urban contexts and planning system, based on a contents analysis of 9 selected street design guidelines in practice. There were clear distinctions between the two principles of integration and segregation, not only in spatial layouts and physical barriers, but also in planning priorities and approaches. Shared Streets appeared in current guidelines as a narrow concept with strict criteria, implemented with limits and cautions. In contrast, the segregation principle acquired a wide versatility in its concept and application, embracing ‘incomplete sidewalks’ with flat surface and visual contrast. Spatial limits and place concerns were offset by the pretext of ‘safety=segregation’. If the spatial formality overrides the intention of pedestrian priority, the current bias and dependence on incomplete sidewalks would persist. Alternative values and potentials of Shared Streets deserve proper consideration. |
