Objectives: This study aimed to gather thoughts and opinions of Seoul residents regarding their experiences of walking in the city, and identify patterns from the perspective of active living. Methods: This study used the applied qualitative research design with focus groups. Purposive sampling was implemented based on age, sex, residential area, and level of walking. Twenty adults living in Seoul were recruited, and four focus groups were organized. Data were collected from December 20 to December 21, 2018, and analyzed through pattern finding. Results: While the impact of walking was commonly recognized in terms of emotional well-being and social relationships, perceptions of its effectiveness as a physical fitness activity varied by age and sex. The participants felt that the compactness of Seoul provided easy access to various places and ample opportunities for walking. However, overcrowding and traffic congestion made it difficult for them to walk comfortably. This led to negative emotions regarding everyday walking in Seoul; nonetheless, they voluntarily practiced walking as part of their daily routine, but preferred to go outside their neighborhoods for leisure walks. Conclusion: Walking patterns based on the structural context of the city and demographic features should be understood and applied to the policy.
