Abstract Major cities in South Korea are actively installing mobility infrastructure to improve pedestrian accessibility in sloped residential areas. However, a systematic analytical framework for determining appropriate strategies based on site-specific conditions remains absent. This study analyzes nine case studies of pedestrian accessibility improvement in sloped residential areas across Seoul, Busan, Hong Kong, Barcelona, and Medellin. Five types of improvement strategies are identified. The resulting framework guides strategy selection based on site conditions? including existing circulation patterns, the presence of parallel vehicular roads, installation feasibility, and the need for multi-level connectivity. Therefore, this study reframes pedestrian accessibility improvement in sloped residential areas not as a matter of individual facility installation, but as a strategic decision to be made according to the spatial context of each site.
