| Abstract |
This study organizes spatial assessment elements into quantity, form, and function and examines associations between spatial characteristics and use environments in 56 privately owned public spaces (POPS) in Michuhol-gu, Incheon. Use environments comprise observable spatial and managerial conditions supporting rest, walking, visibility, and public access. Use support is assessed through rest, walking, and landscaping provisions, excluding criteria overlapping with area. July 2025 field surveys and cross-tabulation analyses identified significant associations between area and use support (χ²=18.982, p<0.001), location and use support (p=0.037), width and visibility (χ²=8.100, p=0.017), and piloti type and openness (χ²=5.438, p=0.020). Configuration showed no significant association with use support (χ ²=0.093, p=0.760). Findings inform planning standards for minimum area, location and width, piloti-type spaces, and maintenance. Results indicate associations without controlling for other spatial characteristics. |
