테마파크 공간의 시지각적 특성에 따른 보행동선 분석

Abstract

This study analyzed pedestrian circulation using a Visibility Graph Analysis(VGA) model to determine movement characteristics of visitors in a theme park. Since the location of a theme park is a key factor for stimulating consumption, it is important to identify how visitors visually perceive their spatial experience while walking throughout the park. We, first, viewed and analyzed pedestrian circulation according to the visual perspectives of individual visitors in order to find alternatives to improve the pedestrian circulation system. A VGA model was used to quantitatively analyze an isovist and forecast pedestrian movement patterns based on output indicators. A Depth map program was used to analyze the visibility of a site. The result of calculating global measures and local measures using a VGA model revealed that pedestrian movement became more vitalized in a place where visitors’ could easily perceive things visually. Secondly, the main plaza was the place in which the concentration and separation of visitors happened simultaneously in a theme park, and thus it had an affect on the control pedestrian movement. Finally, the type of experience program is different according to the visitors’ visibility characteristics. This study will contribute to the establishment of alternatives for improving the quality of spatial experience that visitors perceive in a theme park.
