The purpose of this study is to identify ideal urban
design elements of waterfronts and to analyze the differences in users
cognition among these elements. This study follows three steps as
following first is identifying the urban design elements of waterfronts
from literature review and second is evaluating intended users
cognition of urban design elements in urban waterfronts. Lastly, third
is analyzing the users cognition differences. As the result, evaluations
of waterfront areas by users show similar features that nonwaterfront
urban design elements contain the highest degree of importance. This
indicates the difference of users cognition has dimensions of
frequency and distance, and demonstrates differences in the aspect of
importance than of satisfaction. MultiDimensional Scaling Method
verifies differences among their cognition. This study provides
elements to increase satisfaction of users from differences of their
cognition on design elements for waterfronts. It also suggests
implications on elements when waterfronts are built.
