Abstract

In this study the Korean newtowns were appraised in terms of green use by dwellers using the assessment model of urban greens developed on the basis of accessibility to green space. The model was assumed through a survey on the dwellers of the two developed newtowns, which represent basically different spatial structures: Pyeongchon with a latticed urban form and Sanbon with a clustered one. The assumed model was applied to a newtown developed in 90s (Sanbon) and a newtown in process (Dongtan) in order to verify an improvement between the two newtowns with respect to the use of greens. According to the model application the green rate weighted by potential users increased by 7.56% points for Dongtan and 4.11% points for Sanbon. However, the increasing ratio of Sanbon's one (25.90%) is greater than that of Dongtan's one (23.42%). This confirms that the use of greens could be determined more influentially by their spatial form and arrangement than by their area. For this analysis a Binary Logit Model, SPSS 12.0, ArcGIS were used.
