Location Evaluation and Optimal Location Selection of Public Library Using a Local Space Search Approach

This study analyzes the spatial equity of provision of public libraries targeted on Seoul city as well as the locational efficiency and superiority. This study utilizes microscopic exploration techniques in order to compensate the defects left by preceding studies and to maximize the usability of the study results. According to results, public libraries in seoul covers 51.4% of the whole area and 70.4% of the overall population in the city in 2010. It is interesting that there is a deviation among sub-regions. They are 21 sub-regions including Gangnam, Gwanak and Songpa where relatively large number of the regions with location superiority are identified. This study explores microscopically spaces to help evaluate the spatial equity and efficiency of public libraries and as it provides timely proper study results. Conclusionally, this study is expected to provide some profound knowledge and information that can contribute to the policies concerning the provision of public libraries.
