Humans are the animal that walks upright and think at the same time. However, civilized humans stop walking and thinking for a reason of work-focused, busy daily life, and the use of developed transportation. Therefore, many different fields such as environment, cities, and architecture are emphasizing on walking activity for people's physical and mental health. Changes in urban space such as the making of proper walking street environment, Han river park development, and Cheonggye stream development are being undergone in Seoul, the most populated city in South Korea, which aims to promote urban people's mental, physical health by increasing their footsteps, and ultimately improve the quality of life. In particular, the importance of urban green space is being emphasized as it serves as a place for taking a rest and introspection, so research on tangible and intangible services including physical factors provided in the space and walkers' walking patterns is actively being conducted. Taking a walk is an important behavior that has a philosophical, social meaning in that it takes some time for introspection and communicates with surrounding environment. For this, one of the most essential and important factors out of the physical factors provided is a road, which is a trail. A trail offers information such as its shape, color, and material to walkers. Out of them, the material is an important part related to safety, psychology, and environment. However, there is much to be desired for research on texture, and research on the correlation between texture and walkers' perception of it. This research herein aims to focus on the effect of what walkers perceive about material texture of trail in a visual, tactile manner on walking, and investigate analysis methods on whether or not there is change in walking speed. Furthermore, it has signification in establishing the correlation and ultimately providing physical factors appropriate for the purpose and the usage of urban walking space. |
