준공공공간에서의 이용자 행동 분석을 통한 장소 활성화에 관한 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) The semi-public space mainly comprises the walking environment, and it is a transition space connected to public, internal, and private spaces. This study aims to identify the effects of user behavior for activating a particular place and to develop basic data on the role of sustainable semi-public spaces for future research and policymaking. (Method) The researcher utilized four research methods considering the three forms of semi-public spaces, which comprised 13 components. First a behavioral analysis of users was conducted through direct observation. Second, their additional opinions were confirmed through online questionnaires; third, instances of activation of local commercial areas and their connection toe semi-public spaces were identified by analyzing users; consumption behavior. Finally, the evaluation items were defined by capturing and classifying the status of semi-public spaces based on their components. In addition, behavioral analysis was conducted using five classification criteria of semi-public spaces, based on their the components. This study aimed at conceptualizing a street space that is walkable and usable with rather than being the center of various functions. However, it is necessary to activate public functions by strengthening cooperation between various functions to activate public and private spaces. Consequently, the study aimed at redefining public space outside buildings, the transition space between buildings, and walkways built inside buildings, and to organically link the interior and exterior spaces by securing various public facilities and defining the semi-public space. (Results) Three observation sites were selected based on the existing classification semi-public spaces. Most spaces had a proportional number of users who exhibited various behavioral characteristics. Given the social importance of semi-public spaces, they should serve as an effective meeting place, rather than merely a transit space for people to come and go. (Conclusions) Shopping and culture centers are most common commercial facilities linked to semi-public spaces , which contribute to the vitality of the city and help activate the surrounding facilities. The public and private spaces should be transformed into a space that can be activated through continuous management and systemic improvement. This will enable such spaces to provide users with an integrated spatial experience by securing visual and behavioral connectivity and can positively improve the image urban spaces. In terms of public and public spatial design, future studies should focus on improving the public value of semi-public spaces.
