안전한고 쾌적한 보행환경을 조성하여 보행 교통을 활성화시킨다면, 자동차의 사용이 줄게 되고 자동차의 유해한 배출가스로 인한 공기 오염 및 소음 등을 낮출 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 도심부의 미관 증대, 역사적 구역의 보존, 물리적인 도시 이미지 향상 등의 효과로 도심기능의 활성화에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 이와 같은 보행통행의 중요성을 인식하여 안전하고 효율성 있는 보행동선을 조성할 필요가 있다. 그러나 상당수의 종합병원과 같은 공공성을 띤 건물들은 대부분의 보행자가 보행동선을 이용하여 건물에 접근하는데도 불구하고 차량을 중심으로 동선이 운영되고 있는 실정이다. 차량위주의 동선 체계는 보행 통행자로 하여금 차량통행으로의 전환을 유도할 가능성이 있어 이에 대한 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구는 분석대상으로 차량과 보행자에게 동등하게 접근의 용이성을 제공해야 하는 광주시의 4대 종합병원을 대상으로 보행자 집단에게 가해지는 저항이 구체적으로 얼마나 심각하며, 그 원인은 어떠한 물리적 조건에 의하여 발생하는지 알아 보았다. 보행저항을 파악하기 위한 지표로는 차량과 보행자의 충돌점의 수, 최단거리 선호도, 보행로 미확보율 등을 설정하여 분석하였다. 이러한 분석의 결과 나타난 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방안도 함께 모색하였다.

The congestion of pedestrians impedes the utilization efficiency of a subway station. Conflicts among pedestrians due to unseparated pedestrian flows not only increase the impedance of pedestrian mobility but also negatively affect on pedestrian safety. This paper analyzes the travel characteristics of bi-directional pedestrian flow based on microscopic movements, and evaluates the operation efficiency on separating the traffic line. The subway station was simulated in a 2-D grid structure by applying Discrete Element Method, and the movement is organized in each cell of the grid. As a result, the model explicates that separating the traffic line and encouraging the 'Keep right rule' would be mostly effective for the conflicting flows. Therefore, applying the 'Walking Guidance System' would be efficient to improve the pedestrian convenience and mobility.

Namsan in Seoul is major tourist attraction. However, despite of the proximity of the location to the center of the city, Namsan is not good for visitors for uncomfortable accessibility. This study proposed improvements of guidance system for easily access. Sign system and pedestrian circulation system were analyzed from the nearest public transportation around the park to where the entry of Namsan park. At first, we surveyed installation and type of sign system by field research and pedestrian way accessing to Namsan park by behavior survey. Through the analysis of current guidance system, this study suggests ways to improve following as; the reclassification of functions and types, sign installation planning and extracting main pedestrian circulation for easy access. Improved guidance system can ameliorate accessibility to Namsan and encourage greater use as the representative park of Seoul.

User movement is an important factor in determining the amount of the acquired knowledge and information about space contexts. A reasonable circulation plan affects the spatial usage, space revitalization, and activity satisfaction, and is ultimately a means to increase spatial usefulness. On the other hand, a disorderly circulation system causes negative experiences due to difficulties in wayfinding. This research identified the importance of a pedestrian circulation system analyzing the correlation between the spatial configuration index and pedestrian movement, and visitors' movement in the leisure space by using Space Syntax. The research area, Ouam-ri, where numerous guests visit this designated folk village, is a typical case in which a settlement space is used as a leisure space. There was a great deal of risk that visitors would get lost while wandering through the space. Also, it is difficult to induce visitors to tour economically even though the pedestrian circulation configuration of Ouam-ri forms the natural moving line because of its typical tree structure. Additionally adjusting and to supplementing the pedestrian system is required in order for the traditional village, a settlement space, to be used as a leisure space.

The conflict of opposing pedestrian traffic-flow in a subway station(made up of stair, passageway, and escalator) diminishes the convenience and mobility of its users. In addition, the station's efficiency would be negatively affected by the growth of delay and queue length in pedestrian facilities. As these phenomena have been resulted by the overlapping in pedestrian's traffic-line, the separation of it would alleviate these problems. For the criteria and methodology of separation, this paper has investigated the bi-directional queue length and delay on the entrance of each facility (stair, passageway and escalator). Since the pedestrian flow exists bidirectionally, we have used the weighted average by inflow rate for the delay value. For the optimization of the separation, the Genetic Algorithm has been utilized in order to minimize the delay.

In this study, the effect of the social distance maintenance and pedestrian route system was analyzed for Seoul Station, one of the multi use facilities according to the COVID-19 pandemic. For analysis, the Seoul Station pedestrian network was established through the survey of the number of passengers and CAD floor plan. A pedestrian that maintaining Social Distance was implemented using the Social Force Model. Based on this, scenario analysis was proceed. As a result, when the walking line system was installed the average walking speed decreased compared to the current situation. but the average density was analyzed that maintain the walking level of service (LOS)'C', this mean walking line system is effective, and the effect of the walking line system was proved. It can be used as a pedestrian simulation model.

Due to the decline of a rural community, traditional periodic markets regarded as a center of an agricultural village have been gradually downsized. While researchers have made a counterproposal to revitalize the traditional periodic markets, there has limit in examining how space structure of the traditional periodic markets affect visitors. Thus this study aims to analyze space structure and visitor circulation using a space syntax, a quantitative analysis focusing on PyeongChang Daehwa market. The finding revealed high degree of unification and clearness which means overall space structure was efficient for visitors to recognize and move across the space. However, there is required to build strategies encouraging consumption. The result of analyzing visitor circulation showed the degree of unification is the highest in visitor circulation where center of the market or main facilities is located. In sum, in order to revitalize deserted traditional periodic markets, rural communities need to work out strategies to encourage consumption and expand both information desk and convenience facilities.

Recently terrorism targets unspecified masses and causes massive destruction, which is so-called Super Terrorism. Many countries have tried hard to protect their citizens with various preparation and safety net. With inexpensive and advanced technologies of sensors, the surveillance systems have been paid attention, but few studies associated with the classification of the pedestrians' trajectories and the difference among themselves have attempted. Therefore, we collected individual trajectories at Samseoung Station using an analytical solution (system) of pedestrian trajectory by LiDAR sensor. Based on the collected trajectory data, a comprehensive framework of classifying the types of pedestrians' trajectories has been developed with data normalization and "trajectory association rule-based algorithm." As a result, trajectories with low similarity within the very same cluster is possibly detected.

The objective of this research was to investigate the way information is used by pedestrians in underground space. Furthermore, we wanted to know how pedestrians utilize information from signage of signs by pedestrians. Thus, we conducted an investigation on the pedestrians' walking behavior in Fukuoka City, Tenjin underground shopping centers, and 1) checked routes taken by the subjects; and 2) categorized the signs that were observed, the pedestrians' movement patterns, the way information from signage isused by the pedestrians, the signs' locations, the relationship between the spaces, the heights of the signs and the types of signs offering directions. The results showed that there is a need to solve certain problems related to the locations of the signs and the walking behaviors of the subjects. To solve the problems exhibited by the subjects' walking behaviors, we came up with a variety of guidance information that could be used. The contents of the guidance information differ depending on the specified heights for the placement of signs and the information used depending on the location. The results also showed that the continuity between places needs to be shown more effectively by the guidance system, and that too many signs are positioned in places where the frequency of use is low.
