The purpose of this study is to analyze the configuration and properties of university campus cores for systematic approach and planning through space syntax based on master plans of 55 universities in Korea. The results of this study showed that: first, the campus cores were classified into 10 types through axial map analysis. They were '一 type', '二 type', 'ㄱ type', 'T type', '+ type', 'radiation type', 'grid type', 'polygon type', 'tree structure type' and 'combination type'.(table 7) The frequency of '一 type' was the highest by 27.2%, and 'radiation type' was the next by 14.5%; second, the integration value was 2.03(+ type), te90(grid type), te75(ㄱ type), te74(一 type), te67(二 type), te63(T type), te46(polygon type), te347(tree structure type) and te343(radiation type).(table 9) We could categorize the 'radiation type' and the 'tree structure type' as the first group, the 'polygon type' as the second group, the 'T type', the '二 type', the '一 type', and the 'ㄱ type' as the third group, the 'grid type' as the fourth group, the '+ type' as the fifth group; third, cases that the integration value of access road was very low(58.2%) was much more frequent than that of very high(32.7%); fourth, the most important space in the campus core were as follows: library and media center(18.1%), administration buildings and headquarters(15.7%), student center(15.7%), lecturing building(13.9%), streets and squares(13.3%).
