Abstract: To investigate utilization of neighborhood parks and visitors’behaviors in them in Korea, traits of 1180 visitors were observed and recorded in six neighborhood parks in Daejeon, Korea from 2013 to 2014. Data of six visitor traits including sex, age, group type, body posture, behavior and spatial type were analyzed by usingχ 2 test and other statistical methods. The results showed that body postures of visitors of different ages and different spatial types showed the same trend which main body postures were moving, sitting and standing. Visitor behaviors could be classified into seven categories, and walking had the highest frequency (0.33), frequency of other six types of behaviors including exercising and entertaining using facilities, looking around, chatting, having a picnic, playing croquet ranged from 0.05 to 0.1. This result demonstrated that spaces with higher using frequencies were forest and square. It indicated that more humanistic space should be created to meet various needs of the crowd in open spaces. Because spaces in the neighborhood parks were monotonous, the results suggested that the space of sparse woods in the edge of forest and active space should be increased in order to meet the needs of the elderly and children. It was found that frequencies of middle-aged people (0.31) and the elders (0.28) were higher in the neighborhood parks, followed by children (0.18) and youth (0.18), and frequency of juveniles was the least (0.06). So it was suggested to increase the active spaces to attract juveniles. It is important to pay more attention for creation of inclusive spaces and attachment places in the future designs and reconstructions of neighborhood parks.
