Neighbourhood walkability in high-density apartment complexes in Seoul, South Korea
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
Walkability has been an important
principle of urban design and planning, and
research has been identified the complex
relationship between spatial attributes and
users’ perception of walkability. However,
limited research focused on which
perceived qualities could be affected by
specific attributes, and how people react to
particular environment. also apartment
complexes in South Korea have not been
considered enough despite their unique
typology and spatial attributes derived
from cultural and historical backgrounds,
which might affect residents' experience of
their neighbourhood. Research in
walkability lacks multi-dimensional studies,
examining spatial attributes and people’s
perceptions of walking. The research
examines the complex relationship
between spatial attributes in high-density
apartment complexes and users’
perceptions of walkability. The data from
GIS, observation and surveys were
analysed cross-sectionally to decode how
people evaluate their neighbourhood
regarding walkability and discover
unexpected patterns between spatial
attributes and perceived walkability.
Findings reveal that the possible
implication of high functional mix and
permeability combined with the Green
network enhancing walking and encouraging people to walk and repeatedly
visit their neighbourhood, which explains
high sense of walkability. In that the Green
network has been developed to overcome
segregation of apartment-dominant
neighbourhood, the finding provides
further area of walkability debate on time
and historical background, while
corroborating the importance of walkability
assessment in different geographical
context. In addition, providing key spatial
attributes of apartment complexes in Seoul,
South Korea, the study suggests empirical
evidence of current level of walkability in
South Korea, which could support
developing the concept of Daily-walking
neighbourhood’ in Seoul Plan 2040.

Usage and Perception of Pedestrian Streets
in London
Shared with the World by Elangkathir Duhindan
London already has several pedestrian-only
spaces scattered around the city. Many can
be seen as successful public spaces with
many patrons and users. The study aims to
take an in-depth, qualitative approach to
understand how the public uses and
perceives pedestrianized streets in London,
assess critically the differences between
different users, and identify what makes
sociable pedestrian streets.
