In Korea, the Seoul subway line 1 was opened in 1974 and the subway service is being operated in Seoul, Pusan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Inchon. The subway station is related to a underground shopping mall that was developed as complex spaces. According to the time of people's stay at the underground space, the necessity about the safety countermeasure of the underground space has been enlarged. Therefore the result of this study is t propose guidelines for improving the evacuation safety performance in underground subway stations.

The purpose of this study is to propose and verify a spatial network construction method that integrated roads and subway lines to improve the predictability of the urban spatial analysis model. The existing axial map for urban spatial analysis did not reflect the subway line that serves as an important moving space in modern cities. To improve this axial map, proposed a Ground-Underground Spatial Network by integrating the underground spatial network with the axial map. As a result of the integration analysis, the Ground-Underground Spatial Network(GUSN) were similar to the movement frequency. Correlation of GUSN was 0.723, which showed higher explanatory power than correlation coefficient of 0.575 in axial map. The result of this study is expected to be a theoretical basis for constructing spatial network in urban space analysis with subway.

The heat and smoke which generated by subway under fire is one of the most harmful factor in air tighten underground station. To prevent this, Trackway Exhaust System(TES) can be used. The heat released from the train running in the tunnel raises the temperature at the platform and the trackway, and thus proper ventilation system is required for comfortable underground environment. When the fire is occurred, TES is operated as smoke exhaust mode from normal ventilation mode. In the present study, the subway station which is one of the line number 9 in Seoul subway is modeled, and fired situation is simulated with several ventilation mode of ventilation system in trackway. For this simulation whole station is modeled. Non steady state 3D simulation which considered train under fire is entering to the station is performed. Temperature and smoke distribution in platform and trackway are compared. To represent heat by fire, heat flux was given to the fired carriage, also to describe smoke by fire, concentration of CO is represented. As the result of present study, temperature and smoke distribution is different as the method of ventilation in trackway and platform is changed. In over side of trackway, the fan must be operated as exhaust mode for efficient elimination of heat and smoke, and supply mode of fan operation in under side shows better distribution of heat and smoke. The ventilation system which is changed from ventilation mode to exhaust mode can be applied to control heat and smoke under fire.

This study was performed to survey the $SO_2$ level at several underground spaces connected to 5 subway stations (City Hall, Nam, Seoul stations, Hye Hwa and Ulchiro 1 Ga) in Seoul. The period of survey was from July to November, 1997.The results of the study were as follows; 1. The mean concentration of $SO_2$ was $0.057{\pm}0.015ppm$ in all subway stations. The highest $SO_2$ level among the five stations was $0.067{\pm}0.011 ppm$ at City Hall (P<0.01), and the highest with $0.071{\pm}0.013ppm$ at November (P<0.01).2. In underground shopping centers, the mean concentration of $SO_2$ was $0.112{\pm}0.059ppm$. 3. The mean concentration of $SO_2$ at evening with 0.057 pp and morning with 0.053 ppm were significantly higher than at noon with 0.043 ppm(P<0.05). 4. The $SO_2$ level of floor at Kang Nam station with 0.044 ppm was significantly higher than that of platform with 0.37 ppm(P<0.01). 5. For the City Hall stations, the line #1 and line #2 subway spaces show significantly different level of $SO_2$, 0.042ppm and 0.033 ppm respectively (P<0.05).

The spatial limitations of urban environments in general lead to invention and design of a wide range of underground transportation systems such as subways, underground roads and paths, etc. Among them, the application of subway systems in metropolitan cities is most commonly observed to ease those confronted difficulties on this purpose. It in turn leaves passengers and workers to be exposed to indoor air potentially polluted by various sources existing in this underground environment. Specifically when considering the IAQ in a subway station, there exist many IAQ-related parameters to be counted either as individual or as integrated exposures. In this study, a model system has been developed to manage the general IAQ in a subway station. Field survey and $CO_2$ measurements were initially conducted to analyze and understand the relationship between the indoor and outdoor air quality while considering the internal pollution sources such as passengers, subway trains, etc. The measurement data were then employed for the model development with other static information. For the model development, the algorithm of simple continuity was built and applied to model the subway IAQ concerned. In this paper, the recent updated draft version of model developed will be reported and demonstrated.

This study was carried out for the purpose of safety evaluation about the ventilation system (according to the structure of confined room, the position and size of vent window, the amount of blowing air, e.t.c.), which is equipped in one of KOGAS underground valve stations. Particularly, the effect of the fans placed in the upper region was focused in detail. Numerical simulation was conducted in order to predict the features of flow pattern and the diffusion of natural gas concentration. This work examined the ventilation system and resulted in proposing an optimal design of ventilation system.

In this study, the air quality of underground and overground railway stations was evaluated focusing on the degree of influence of the outside air quality. The measured components were particulate matter ($PM_{10}$), carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$), formaldehyde (HCHO), ozone ($O_3$), total airborne bacteria (TAB), total volatile organic carbon (TVOC), and Radon (Rn), which are included in the maintenance standards and recommended standards of the Indoor Air Quality Management Act. Also, the indoor/outdoor concentration ratios of $PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, and $O_3$ were calculated to estimate the influence of the outdoor air quality. The concentrations of $PM_{10}$ HCHO, TVOC, $NO_2$, and Rn in the underground stations were found to be higher than those in the overground stations. These results indicate that the (present) generation of contaminants are caused by the indoor source of the underground station. The ozone concentration of the overground stations was higher than that of the underground stations, which indicates that the outdoor ozone concentration influenced that of the overground stations directly. Thus, methods of improving the IAQ should take into consideration the types of contamination.

This study is find out the how promotion is handled by understanding the notion and the characteristics of the underpass market in the underground space by comparing those of other ours. However, the underpass market of suwon needs to remodeling. Most of all, there are problems on not having enough ensured environment.
