Abstract

This study aims to understand how different factors impact street environment satisfaction on a small scale. There were 17 elements identified across four categories from past research to see what affects people's satisfaction with their surroundings. The spatial layout and visual elements were measured using spatial syntax and computer vision. After analyzing the connections between field survey data, space syntax, computer vision, and street environment satisfaction using an ordinal logit model, this analysis revealed that factors like crime safety, traffic safety, sense of danger, sidewalk width, and overall integration positively impact street satisfaction. Conversely, crosswalk density, road density, building density, and the presence of fences and walls negatively affect it. From this, it's clear that creating a street environment that promotes safe and comfortable walking, free from concerns about crime and traffic, is crucial to encourage diverse and active walking in the downtown area. This study is significant as it quantifies and closely examines various factors influencing street satisfaction. However, it's important to note that the study's focus was limited to the downtown area of Gongju City, and further research is needed to understand the impact of more varied factors.
