Abstract This study aims to propose urban design strategies for enhancing liveability in port hinterland areas from a green port perspective, focusing on the Mukho Port area in Donghae City, Gangwon Province. A comprehensive spatial analysis was conducted, including pedestrian networks, tourism and commercial distribution, waterfront public space usage, and environmental structures. The results indicate structural limitations such as discontinuities in pedestrian connectivity, concentration of functions along the waterfront, fragmented public spaces, and limited accessibility to green areas. Based on these findings, the study suggests strategies for strengthening waterfront ?urban connectivity, integrating mixed-use functions, and establishing continuous public space networks. This study provides practical implications for mitigating spatial disconnections between port and city and for transforming port hinterland areas into sustainable and livable urban environments.
