Accessibility is a field of study that has primarily been applied to urban or transportation problems two dimensionally. However, in large complex buildings as shopping centers or hospitals, inter-spatial accessibility among compartments has to be taken into account such as in building layouts or evacuation planning. This study expands space syntax theory, one of accessibility-related methodologies used for computing connectivity in urban or architectural spaces, into 3D indoor spaces. Although space syntax is basically a topology-based theory that does not consider general costs such as distance or time, this study suggests modification that incorporates different types of impedances in moving between places including distances, turns and transfers between floors. The proposed method is applied to a 3D campus building model in computing and displaying the accessibility to exit doors or cohesive accessibility among similar functions.

This study attempts to elucidate manifold dimensions of gendered accessibility experiences. How gender roles(household responsibilities) differentiate accessibility experiences between women and men is explored through the comparison of married dual-earner couples' parental status, using the US Portland activity-travel diary dataset with GIS-based geocomputation results of(time-geography based) space-time accessibility. First, this study shows how gender division of labor within the household still permeates current society, despite the widespread belief of the social change toward a gender-egalitarian society. Then, the study pays special attention to the way gender roles structure individual accessibility experiences of women and men differently, and, in turn, the way such accessibility experiences take a form of gendered spatiality. Gendered spatiality is examined through the analysis of accessibility space as well as activity space in order to ascertain women's home-attached and spatially entrapped characteristics. More household responsibilities throughout a day and, even more, the time constraint of picking up children at the daycare centers after work lead women's possible activity space to be more home-centered. The analysis of the spatio-temporal context of accessibility space makes gendered spatiality visible. However, the findings suggest that behavioral outcomes should be understood with an explicit awareness of constraints individuals face. It is because the revealed activity spaces can be not only an outcome of constraint but also an outcome of choice. Behavioral outcomes should not be treated as a straightforward expression of the level of constraints. It is problematic to expect that behavioral outcomes directly mirror the level of constraints. It is also problematic to suppose that the level of constraints can be straightforwardly elicited from revealed behavioral outcomes.

Recently, the concept of neighborhood unit plan has been receiving attention due to expectations of balanced development and sustainable development through resolving regional gaps and reflecting regional characteristics. Accessibility to essential living facilities that can support daily life is considered an important factor in neighborhood unit plan. Therefore, this study analyzed accessibility from facilities based on the living facilities and access range set in the neighborhood unit plan, and analyzed spatial accessibility inequality in connection with the neighborhood unit plan and spatial clustering. As a result of analyzing accessibility in Busan Metropolitan City, various accessibility ranges were found depending on the facility. In addition, as a result of analyzing in connection with spatial clustering, regional inequality was found, such as hotspot areas in Gangdong, old downtown, Dongrae, and Haeundae, and coldspot areas in Gangseo and Gijang, and spatial inequality was found in which hotspots and coldspots exist simultaneously within the same neighborhood unit. Considering these spatial characteristics, detailed planning and policy establishment are necessary for facilities lacking in small-size neighborhood units, and the results of the analysis are expected to be meaningful in realizing the urban policy of balanced development that has been recently promoted.

It is likely that the spatial structure of the intraurban accessibility as well as the accessibility value of each of the nodes in the subway network is affected by the addition of new linkages. The changes in the accessibility at individual nodes also affect the accessibility in the surrounding areas at some distances away from the nodes. Graph-theoretic algorithms have been developed as a proper measurement scheme for the nodal accessibility in tracked transport networks such as subway networks. However, the graph-theoretic measurements have limitations to estimate the spatial diffusion effect on the surrounding areas. This study proposes a new model for the spatial diffusion effect estimation of nodal accessibility increment in the subway network toward the surrounding areas. Since the distance decay trend of subway station use reflect the spatial diffusion effect of the accessibility of subway station toward the surrounding area. The model is deduced from the subway station use density function which is formulated by the questionnaire survey data.

Recently 3D GIS and its applications are getting attention increasingly as various ubiquitous-related techniques for 3D spaces are being developed. Although they call for quantitative measures such as accessibility, most accessibilityrelated studies are limited to 2D networks, not 3D indoor space levels. In this paper, we develop an accessibility index applicable to 3D models. We first examine the theory of Space Syntax which has been developed and used to measure the connectivity or relationships between spatial segments in urban or architectural environments. Then, we expand the principle to a more general form so it can be applied to both street and indoor space levels. We incorporate different types of impedances in moving between places including distances, turns and transfers between floors into the traditional Space Syntax that measures the spatial depths solely based on the structural forms. Finally, we illustrate the use of the proposed measure comparatively using a campus building.

This study examined the arrangement attribute of each component based on the relationship among the components using space syntax at the entire complex level when analyzing the outdoor space of an apartment complex in Cheonan and as a preliminary study. The accessibility change in the access space to each space and to the facilities were examined based on a resident walking in the perspective that the outdoor spaces of the apartment complex are one spatial structure connected together. The space was divided into a total of 5 periods and the access space to the facilities and spaces located in outdoor space of the apartment complex were established as the unit space. In this study, a total of 6 analysis items were established: main complex access space, main building access space, shopping mall within complex, control office/center for senior citizens, children's playground, and resident sports facilities. In the analysis, the following conclusion was obtained. First, the accessibility to the main complex access space was high over almost all periods and the main building access space generally showed low accessibility. Second, the shopping mall showed a tendency that the closer the period, the more the accessibility is increased. Third, the control office/center for senior citizens, which can be considered as a common resident space and the children's playground out of the resident sports facilities, showed an exceptional tendency, the integration order was constantly high without a large change by the period and the control office/center for senior citizens showed the tendency for a high integration order, indicating that it is planned mainly in a location with good accessibility.

지리 정보 시스템의 발전으로 공간 데이터의 수요가 늘어남에 따라 공간 데이터의 공급자들이 늘어나고 있다. 일반적으로 공간 데이터의 공급자는 수요자의 요구에 맞는 형식을 사용하여 공간 데이터를 생산한다. 그래서, 생산된 공간 데이터는 다양한 플랫폼에서 다양한 형식으로 저장된다. 최근들어 분산환경에서 다양한 플랫폼에 저장된 공간 데이터를 효율적으로 접근하기 위하여 공간 정보유통의 필요성이 증대되었고 OpenGIS Consortium(OGC)은 공간 데이터의 상호호환성을 위해 ISO와 협력하며 국제 표준화를 추진중이다. 본 논문에서는 공간 정보유통 중 공간 데이터 접근을 위해 OGC의 Simple Features Specification for CORBA 표준을 기반으로 ESRI사의 공간 데이터 저장 형식인 Shape 파일을 위한 CORBA 데이터 프로바이더를 구현한다. CORBA는 언어와 플랫폼에 독립적으로서 분산환경에서의 상호운용성을 제공하고, 특히 Java와 결합하면 웹 브라우저를 통해 어떤 플랫폼에서든지 사용 가능하다. 그러므로, Shape 파일에 대한 CORBA 서버를 개발함으로써 플랫폼에 종속되지 않는 공간 데이터의 접근을 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 설계시 고려사항 및 구현 방법에 대해 살펴보고 OGC 표준을 구현하면서 발견된 문제점 및 성능 향상을 위한 방법에 대해서도 언급하여 다른 공간 데이터 형식을 위한 CORBA 서버를 개발할 때 참조할 수 있도록 한다.

지리정보시스템과 같은 공간 데이터베이스에서 다루는 데이터는 대용량이며, 사용자의 다양한 질의에 따라 빠르게 접근할 수 있어야 한다. 그런데 이때 성능의 대부분이 디스크 접근시간에 의해 영향을 받으므로 접근시간을 줄이는 기술이 필요하다. 이는 다수의 디스크 공간에 데이터를 분산하여 저장하는 디클러스터링 방법을 사용함으로써 효과적인 성능 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 효과적인 디클러스터링 방법은 주어진 질의에 대하여 동시에 접근될 가능성이 있는 공간 객체를 다른 디스크에 각각 저장함으로써 한번에 접근하는 병렬성을 높일 수 있다. 그러나 하나의 디스크에게 할당 가능한 공간 객체들을 서로 다른 디스크에 할당하는 것은 오히려 성능의 저하를 초래할 수 있다. 이러한 두 가지 조건을 동시에 만족하기 위해서는 공간 객체들을 클러스터링 한 후, 크러러스터 단위로 디스크로 할당하는 것이 효과적이다. 이전에 제시된 디클러스터링 방법들은 이러한 요소를 고려하지 않았다. 이에 본 논문에서는 주어진 공간 객체들에 대해서 일정한 크기의 클러스터를 만들고 클러스터 단위로 디클러스터링 하여 효율적인 성능 향상을 보이는 새로운 방법에 대해서 제시하고자 한다. 또한 이전에 제시되어졌던 여러 가지 디클러스터링 방법들과의 비교실험을 통해, 본 논문에서 제시한 방법이 가장 효과적인 방법임을 밝히고자 한다.

GPS및 PDA의 발달로 인해서 위치 기반 서비스(LBS), 차량항법장치(CNS), 지리정보시스템(GIS)등 공간 데이터를 다루는 응용프로그램들이 급속하게 보급되었다. 이러한 응용프로그램은 높이 균등 색인 기법을 사용하여 원하는 데이터에 대한 색인을 제공하였다. 그러나 모든 공간 객체는 서로 상이한 접근 빈도를 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 기존의 공간색인 기법은 접근 빈도를 고려하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 또한 기존의 빈도수만을 고려한 공간 객체의 색인 방법은 접근 빈도에 따른 편향성(skewed)은 제공하지만 공간 객체에 대한 지역성을 반영하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 밀집되어 있는 공간 객체의 접근 빈도를 반영해서 편향된 색인 트리를 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 이형 클러스터링으로 분포되어 있는 전체 영역에 대해서 Zahn의 클러스터링 알고리즘을 변형시켜서 다단계 세부영역을 구분한다. 이렇게 구간된 세부영역에 대해서 거리적 인접성과 접근 빈도수의 합을 이용해서 색인 트리를 생성한다. 다단계로 구성된 전체영역에 대해서 하향식 방식으로 편향된 색인 트리를 생성함으로써, 접근 빈도가 높은 공간 객체에 대해서 빠른 탐색이 가능하게 한다.
