Today the Seoul metro has become the most important public transportation since opening in 1974. However, planning and design of stations, transfer systems and facilities are discorded by different companies and subway lines. Therefore, there is lack of objective design guidelines to secure legibility and safety in subway space. In this context, we aim to investigate the objective design and planing guidelines in terms of people"s cognition and space use pattern. Space syntax method which enables scientific analysis is utilized to examine spatial layout considering passenger"s spatial behavior. The research resulted in providing objective design and planning standards.
