Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze neighborhood environment that have influence on residents' subjective health in Changwon. In the study, neighborhood's socio-economic environment, landuse, bicycle use environment and other personal socio-demographic variables were used as explanatory variables, and a statistical analysis was carried out by applying multi-level analysis. Analysis shows that a high level of business density lowers the residents' health, and a high level of quality of bicycle facilities, safety of bicycle use and accessibility to main facilities have a positive effect on residents' health. Therefore, bicycle-friendly neighborhood will improve the residents' health, quality of bicycle facilities, safety of bicycle use and accessibility to main facilities should be used for planning factors to make a healthy neighborhood.
