Pureungil Park, a linear park located in Gwangju's urban center is highly appreciated as a successful urban regeneration example. However, there has been few studies that examined the physical quality of the pedestrian walking environment in Pureungil Park. With this regards, this study aims at examining the physical characteristics on walking environment elements in Pureungil Park and their relations with user satisfaction through questionnaire survey and drawing up the ways to improve the physical environment and user satisfaction. The methodologies and findings of this study can be expected to provide basic references when a urban linear park is planned and to give ideas for physical improvement measures of the existing linear parks as well. The regression models in this study revealed that buffer space, walk-through space, adjacent space and intersecting space in order have stronger influence on the overall satisfaction on Pureungil Park. This results suggest buffer space is the first and foremost important area to improve the quality of Pureungil Park. Whereas, intersecting space was found the lowest influential on overall satisfaction.
