A pedestrian space imposes cultural value and creates a happy abundant street to a city environment, and becomes a general means that enables safe and pleasant life to city residents. However, indiscreet expansion of pedestrian environment only considering functional aspects installed in some cities is acting as one of the elements deteriorating the appearance and function of a city. Therefore, more pleasant futuristic city environment should be created by composing a pedestrian space considering not only the functional aspect but also the environmental and the aesthetic aspect.
Apart from this, cases planning pedestrian streets integrating advanced technologies to a pedestrian space are increasing. In case of Daejeon Metropolitan City, a pedestrian street linked with IT business and prospective business suitable for an advanced science technology city is to be planned. The plan is to construct a landmark through not only enhancing the walking environment but also improving the lighting plan by creating a next generating multimedia LED road.
This research was to grasp the problems of the conventional street environment based on Euneungjeongyee pedestrians’ street of Deajeon Metropolitan City and to propose a direction plan of a city and the construction environment suitable for multimedia environment.
Summarizing the conclusion of this research is as follows.
Firstly, the most important thing to focus on when creating a multimedia mall can be said to be the pedestrians using it. A pedestrian environment is one of the most basic elements composing the streets, and can be said to be a place where all cultures take place. The plan should be which a pedestrian can conveniently use the multimedia walking along the street, and a street should be designed which walking is not stopped with community created along with it.
Secondly, a construction is one of the most important elements composing a city environment. As a street and a city environment depend on the characteristic of a construction, a construction environment should be planned to create where its scale, materials and finishing should be consistent and harmonious with the streets.
Thirdly, benches, rubbish bins, street lights and switch boxescan be said as components of a street and one of small elements of a city environment. A city environment should be improved as such small elements are important public universal design elements determining a city environment.
Forthly, what is more important than planning and constructing a multimedia mall is the maintenance of it. Especially, maintenance has to be more important, as it is not simply an arcade construction but also an advanced facility of multimedia is integrated. Specific management plans should be established and maintenance plans should be sought through collaborations with the government and related residents.
Fifthly, as mentioned above, the mutual co-operation between the government and local residents is vital. In case of construction remodeling, it should be a harmonious remodeling with the surrounding environment by co-operating with the government and not just a sole work of the building owner, and an organic connection system should be maintained by government support for a building remodeling.
Composing a multimedia mall is not simply creating a space for pedestrians but it is also one of the methods linking the street environment and constructions of a city.
Therefore, creating a multimedia street through an arcade mall whichthe local culture and advanced technology integrated, would leap a step as another symbol of Deajeon City.
