Ji Namseok and Kim Joong Hun

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the number of users and land use of 22 subway stations of Daejeon city Urban Railway Line 1. The main results of the study are summarized as follows. First in Daejeon City subway station area, there is a large difference in the number of buildings and the number of floors per building and most of the total residential floor area is high. Second as a result of multiple regression analysis for all 22 stations, ‘bus route number’ and ‘sales service, service (total floor area)’ were analyzed as the main influencing factors on the number of users. Lastly, the influence of the number of bus routes on weekends was higher than that of weekdays. As the station area is an important space that can lead to new changes or revitalization in the city, it should be applied to urban maintenance and management strategies in the local cities.
