Difference found in the degree of activating commercial space in subway stations is getting bigger and bigger. With an assumption that commercial space in stations demands public management, this study is aimed to figure out factors that influence the activation of commercial space in stations. To address the goal, the AHP was adopted to draw the importance of activation indexes. Applying the importance of activation indexes drawn, this study analyzed 260 stations located in Seoul regarding the ranking of activation of the stations and also the characteristics of each individual region and index. According to the findings of analysis, there exists a great gap in the degree of activation by either life zones or autonomous districts, and factors having big influence over activation are found to be floating population and the number of passengers getting in or out.
