Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between pedestrian satisfaction and the factors constituting the Walk Score, and to suggest the development direction of the Walk Score. The area of the study is Seoul, and pedestrian satisfaction was used as a dependent variable. As independent variables, 11 factors included in the Walk Score such as amenities accessibility and pedestrian friendliness factors were used. Moreover, PM2.5, NDVI, and the slope were used as the additional individual factors. As a result of the analysis, the closer the distance to the shopping mall, the higher the pedestrian satisfaction. However, it was found that most amenities accessibility factors were not significant. In the case of additional factors, the lower the concentration of PM2.5 and the higher the NDVI, the higher the pedestrian satisfaction. For the development of Walk Score, it is necessary to focus on factors affecting pedestrian satisfaction.
