The purpose of this study is to analyze the urban spatial network of Busan in a time-series manner to examine the planning role of centeral area change and spatial management. The analysis method used the ASA(Angular Segment Analysis) technique of the space syntax theory, and the analysis period was divided into three periods from 1937 to 2022, when the Busan urban planning was established. As the result, the center area formed in Nampo-dong and Gwangbok-dong were differentiated and moved to Seomyeon, and then the process of redifferentiated into Yeonsan was confirmed in Seomyeon. It is also room for the center area to move to the western region in the future, and it was possible to identify the center area formed by the policy-set and amenity elements. In addition, we examined the system of urban spatial structure through the intelligibility analysis of space syntax theory, and found that the qualitative interpretation of existing studies and the interpretation from the perspective of space syntax theory were consistent with each other. Through this, it was possible to confirm that the role of the plan for space management.

This study investigates whether urban expansion can act as a cause of the decline of the original city center through the Space Syntax methodology. The urban spatial structure analysis was conducted targeting the downtown area of Jeju-eupseong. The time points for longitudinal analysis were set at five points between 1914 and 2021 including the Japanese colonial period when the cadastral map was drawn up in Jeju City, and the urban spatial structure was analyzed and compared for each time point. ASA (Angular Segment Analysis) was used as a technique for urban spatial structure analysis. This study shows that urban expansion is a cause of the decline of the original downtown. The original city center has moved away from the center as the urban structural change due to the urban expansion. The urban structure of the eastern part of Jeju City has undergone a major transformation between 1914 and 2021. As the old Jeju area where the original city center was located is geographically in contact with the sea, urban sprawl has been made toward Halla Mountain and further to the south of Jeju. Accordingly, the city center has transformed from a monocentric to a polycentric structure. Due to the dynamics of the urban sprawl, the old downtown of Jeju became one of the peripheral neighbourhoods in the Greater Metropolitan of Jeju.
