Analysis Theme Park Space Configuration Using Space Syntax

The concept and notion of space and its realm of meaning vary significantly according to its configurational change. Space syntax is a method to analyse space configuration and is used in the various disciplines such as architecture and urban planning and design; which produces objective, quantifiable indicators. The investigation of theme park space offers a representative setting for understanding the role of space and how it impacts modern leisure and consumption through social logic. The space arrangement and site layout at theme parks and the resulting tourist flow have a direct impact of visitor experiences; in particular, the flow of congestion throughout traffic areas and its influence visitor consumption patterns. This study using Space Syntax was conducted to investigate how space is configured at Everland Theme park space in South Korea to promote user consumption. The findings confirm that Everland’s space configuration facilitates user wandering and by dispersing user flow and that its facilities stimulate impulsive consumption and greater involvement.
