Abstract During urban landscape, the street landscape allows people to interact with the surrounding environment and communicate with each other. This study was conducted to identify the behavior and characteristics of pedestrians walking on street landscapes as part of a study on pedestrian characteristics of “International Sisters' Theme Street” conducted in Suwon for the revitalization of street scenery. Pedestrian behavior were taken within the range by setting the walking range at the street view. The behavioral elements to analyze pedestrian activities were analyzed by separating detailed behavioral elements within the behavioral group and the group. The analysis results are as follows.
The frequency of behavioral factors did not differ relatively in WALK and HEAD groups, unlike HEAD behavioral groups, which account for a higher proportion than the next WALK behavioral group. These results may be attributed to the occurrence of detailed behavioral elements of READ in the SIGN behavioral group among participants, resulting in detailed behavior of the STOP in the WALK behavioral group. In addition, depending on the type of participant, detailed behavioral elements of LEFT and RIGHT occurred in the WALK behavioral group, showing differences in the occurrence of HEAD behavioral group due to body reorientation, affecting the frequency and duration of the action group. In this study, sculptures and signs located in street scenery were affecting pedestrian behavior. Through this study, one method of quantitative measurement experiments on the movement of pedestrians in a street landscape was proposed. There is also value of research in providing basic data in public design planning for street landscape.
