This study attempts to examine the location and district of elementary schools at Chongro-gu. For the convenience of the analysis, the data are analysed with the methods of GIS network model. For the purpose data was collected from Statistical Yearbook of Education in 1994 and Census of Housing and Population in 1990. Results may be summarized as follows. First of all, spatial pattern of elementary school at Chongro-gu shows outward diffusion because of problems, rising of land value, and out-migration of population in the area. Secondly, for the analysis of locational situation this paper uses the data such as population of 5-9 age, the number of housing, accessibility, and land value. The location of elementary school is ciassified into 4 types; the best area, better area, worse area, the worst area. The best area is Pyongchana-dong, Buam-dong, and Ewha-dong and the worst area is Chongro 1ga-dona, Chonaro 2ga-dong and Sechongno-dong. Thirdly, the alternative plans of school district are presented for the maximum equity and efficience, and security of school attendantes. The former emphasizes the minimization of commuting distance, the later emphasizes the minimization of the an comfortable facilities such as main streets in school district. Present school district which is based upon administrative dong should be changed to roadbased school district.

When new subway lines are considered to construct in a large city, there is a need to establish the appropriate transfer systems between subway and other transit modes, so as to increase the use of subway system. In this study, a multi-nominal logit model is developed to analyze the travel characteristics and the mode choice of subway Passengers transferring to and from the buses, minibuses and taxi. These passengers represent a large Portion of transit Passengers in Pusan city It shows that the explanatory variables that affect Passengers\` mode choice are in order of OVIT(Out-of-Vehicle Travel Time), IVTT(In-Vehicle Travel Time), transit fare,. income, gender, and age in modeling. In particular, OVTT is shown to have more significant impact on the mode choice than IYTT due to the fact that transfer trip is involved only in a short distance. Variables associated with the travel costs, however, do have an insignificant impact on the mode choice. It shows that it would be a better Policy to improve the quality of transit service using additional financial resource by increasing transit fare rather than by reducing the fare to increase travel demand. It also shows that value of travel time of OVTT is remarkably higher than that of IVTT and value of travel time of taxi Passengers is much higher than that of minibus Passengers .
