Abstract:
In urban spaces, road and land use interact with each other. To understand urban spaces and make appropriate plans, integrative analyses considering these two simultaneously are required. So far, advancement in urbanization has led to a higher building density, rather than to a sprawl of urban areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to conduct integrative analysis and evaluation of road and land use considering the characteristics of modern cities. Based on road as an appropriate accessibility variable, modified importance performance analysis was conducted with development density and the results were categorized into four areas. To apply appropriate accessibility variable, space syntax theory considering the structure of road network was introduced for road. For land use, to consider both horizontal and vertical development densities of residential and commercial buildings were used. The proposed method was applied to Gangnam-gu, a central business district area in Seoul, and results were analyzed and visualized using geographic information system.
