After the "Landscaping Law" was enacted in 2007 Korea, national and local governments has been responding swiftly by seeking various methods. Seoul Metropolitan City and other municipalities have established "Seoul Coloring and Systematization" project, which analyzes and extracts the humanities, humanities and natural environments in 2007 as an opportunity to recognize the importance of environmental color. However, it is necessary to slightly supplement the color scheme created by the observer's concept. In this way, you have to find the color of the environment in a city where real life takes place. The city's environmental color has the concept of "walking" as the basic human behavior. Because the average speed is 4km, it differs from that of a vehicle that travels more than 60km per hour. Also, most of the frontage zone is used except for special cases. Therefore the characteristics of the environmental color and frontage zone on the road side were concluded in this paper as Single Type, Connection Type, and Extension Type. In addition, the principle of environmental color of city was established by the change of texture according to space of time and the characteristics of urban scale, and new media characteristics were found in various interactions. The results of this study suggest an environmental coloring strategy for workability such as hue continuity, hue harmonization and integrated design.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to compare the consistency of widths by analyzing the current situation of the sidewalk in Korea and Japan Neighborhoods Area. METHODS : Literature on the sidewalk width of the Neighborhood Area is reviewed to compare the consistency of width. Through on-site surveys, We identify the current status of sidewalk in Korea and Japan. This compares the sidewalk width consistency in the Neighborhood Area. RESULTS : The width of whole sidewalks in Japan is ranged 330~445cm, which is lAvger than The width of whole sidewalks in Korea, ranged 237~420cm. Frontage Zone width is ranged 60~65cm in Japan, similar to 60cm in Korea. However, in Korea, there is a lAvge difference between Frontage Zone width and walking width average, and the standard deviation of width is lAvger than Japan. The Pedestrian Zone width is ranged 172~325cm in Japan, which is lAvger than ranged 0~295cm in Korea. The width of the Furniture Zone is ranged 135 ~ 331cm in Japan and lAvger than ranged 90~225cm in Korea. In Korea, the difference between the Furniture Zone width and the walking average width is small, and the standard deviation of width is smaller than that of Japan. CONCLUSIONS : In conclusion, the standard deviation of the frontage zone and the pedestrian zone width, which are included in the valid sidewalk width, The Korea is lAvger than in Japan. valid sidewalk width of Korea sidewalk is inconsistent. valid sidewalk width for wheelchair users does not meet the width of more than 2 meters.

The Legal Floor Area Ratio (L-FAR) has been used as a major urban planning tool for efficient management of land use, landscape, and density. The Developed Floor Area Ratio (D-FAR) in each parcel is realized by such physical and institutional factors as urban tissue, local characteristics, and zoning with the L-FAR. The Achieved Floor Area Ratio (A-FAR), the ratio of the D-FAR to the L-FAR, is the relationship between realized density and the intended/desired outcomes of the regulations. The A-FAR informs the efficiency of L-FAR and its effect on parcels, and is an indicator of the demands of real estate developments under the zoning regulation. This study used detailed data of each parcel's characteristics, including parcel size, road width, and the number of roads bordered by a parcel, to identify the influencing factors on A-FAR. This analysis confirmed that the parcel size has a non-linear negative effect in the residential zone but a linear positive effect on A-FAR in the commercial zone. The width of the parcel's frontage in the commercial zone has a positive effect on the value, while in the residential zone the narrower width has higher A-FAR. In Seoul, the residential zone has higher A-FAR than the commercial zone, which means that the former has a relatively higher development pressure but a lower designated L-FAR. This result reflects that Seoul's residential zone absorbs the demand of commercial uses because of the significant permitting of mixed land use and has high-density residential buildings.
