A Study on the Streetscape Characteristics Before and After New Town Planning -Focusing on the Cases of Gireum and Singil New Town-

초록

This study aims to analyze the changes in streetscape and spatial structure before and after New Town apartment developments in Seoul, focusing on the first phase New Town(Gireum) and the third phase New Town(Singil). The research investigates both the citywide street network and the internal pedestrian environments within apartment complexes. Using Space Syntax analysis, specifically the Axial Map method, the study quantifies the integration values to identify structure and functional changes in street networks. Results show that in both cases, the centrality of main streets increased after development due to the integration of previously dispersed streets, with the Singil New Town displaying a stronger centrality enhancement through newly established integrative streets connecting the main axes. In contrast, the Gireum New Town maintained a simplified street pattern, concentrating centrality on major roads but reducing internal-external connectivity. At the complex scale, Gireum retained a grid-like, vehicle oriented structure with ground level parking, while Singil achieved a pedestrian oriented environment through underground parking and diversified walking paths. These findings suggest that future large scale redevelopment projects should adopt strategies that integrate citywide street connectivity with pedestrian friendly internal layouts, and the results of this study can serve as foundational data for such planning.
