| Abstract |
This study aims to quantify solar radiation along elementary school walking routes in Seoul and to identify its spatial distribution characteristics. A total of 608 school districts were modeled in three dimensions, including pedestrian paths and surrounding buildings, and solar radiation was simulated using the Ladybug Tools plugin for Grasshopper. Based on the simulation results, each district was classified into nine types according to the average building height and footprint area. Differences in solar radiation among the types were analyzed using ANOVA. The results indicate that combinations of building height and area significantly influence solar exposure within school zones, suggesting that solar access is determined not by a single factor but by the complex spatial configuration of the built environment. This study provides a foundational basis for spatial planning and policy development aimed at ensuring safe and comfortable walking environments for children. |
