The purpose of this study is to suppose the standards of public pedestrian passage planning, when some existing roads are closed because of an apartment housing construction project. For this purpose, the theory of endurance limit is introduced and an empirical testing is performed. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, the endurance limit of increased walking distance is showed in the range of 25~150m (with a mean of 94m and a standard deviation of 31m). Second, the factors such as pedestrian s age, walking purpose, and total walking distance affect the endurance limit. Based on the results, we propose a planning standard for apartment construction project: 1)When walking distance increase by more than 70m because of the project, we should consider making a public pedestrian passage. 2)When walking distance increase by more than 100m because of the project, we should make a public pedestrian passage. With this standard, it can be expected to reduce excessive planning and to increase the effectiveness of the plan.
