The purpose of this study is to evaluate urban parks by location model. For the purpose of doing those, elements of location evaluation - altitude, gradient and accessibility - explored by GIS(Geographical Information System) are selected
Evaluation of Location model for urban parks hardly being studied, evaluation of new model by spatial data for analysis shows possibilities in location policies of urban parks, especially, using physical and objective factors. Accessibility is examined by ratio of developed area to total area in Pusan. Altitude and gradient also are explored by each ratio of park areas.
The results of evaluation of location model for urban parks in Pusan are summarized as follows;
1) A small scale park is more effective than large scale one in usability on present conditions in Pusan.
2) Most parks are located in areas which are in high altitude and severe slope ratio. Hierarchy of parks as the number of these based on parks' size is improper. Each commune called 'Gu' is very diverse and irrational in numbers and area of urban parks. Therefore, adjustment of irrational parks location is needed
3) Evaluation of this model may be different to facual evaluation because Pusan has many unmade parks. But, unmade parks must continue being constructed.
Considering new location model, the problems of that are summarized as follows;
1) The method of analysis using GIS is very objective and effective in abtaining the spatial data. The following study on location and space may be very essential.
2) The problems of weight vague in relations among location elements is very important. Therefore, the more detail works should be required.
3) The model of this study is simple. For more close works, many factors - for example, park form, park management, linkage to other facilitis, etc. - must be considerated
