케빈 린치의 도시 이미지 요소가 보행만족도에 미치는영향 분석

초록

Walking activity has a positive effect on human activity and urban vibrancy andis an important factor for the organization of an eco-friendly city. This study usedwalking satisfaction data as an evaluation measure of walking activity and analyzedthe effects on walking satisfaction by quantifying various elements existing in thewalking environment into five city image elements defined by Kevin Lynch. Cityimage elements were quantified based on the walking radius, which is themicroscopic spatial level of city, and a multilevel ordered logistic regression modelwas used to analyze the effect on walking satisfaction. As a result, it was foundthat the average road width and road length as a path element, the presence orabsence of railroads as an edge element, the ratio of land use mix and commercialfacilities as a district element, the average order of intersections and the highestnodule importance as a node element, and the number of urban planning facilitiesas a landmark element had statistically significant relation with walking satisfaction. As such, this study empirically analyzed the relationship between the Kevin Lynch’sthe city image elements and walking satisfaction and suggested some implications toimprove walking satisfaction.
