# Analysis of Urban Spatial Accessibility of Museums within the Scope of Seoul
## 4 Conclusions  
This study investigated the urban hierarchy and the distribution of museums in Seoul and examined the correlation between the accessibility of museums in the urban hierarchy and their accessibility according to the travel angle and limit distance settings. The main findings are as follows.  
First, the physical accessibility of museums considering the minimum walking distance set in this research was not correlated with the accessibility of museums in the entire urban space of Seoul. This explains the fact that the physical locations of museums are somewhat isolated from the primary spaces in which people travel in terms of accessibility considering the minimum walking distance set in this study.  
Second, the goodness-of-fit analysis showed that the accessibility of museums by travel angle and limit distance settings was more correlated with the accessibility of museums in the entire urban space than the urban accessibility of museums with limited spatial depth and the RSS showed a relatively stable state. Therefore, planning museums in Seoul based on the main space in which people travel would be more valuable in terms of physical accessibility than limiting a specific area and referring to its use density. It would also be a better measure to improve the awareness of physical paths for people who intend to visit museums in a cultural city.  
Third, the independent variables corresponding to the travel angle and limit distance range in the global integration group can interpret the urban spatial accessibility of museums, but the coefficient of determination was low. This was attributed to the fact that the research scope was limited only to the walking distance and because the coefficient of determination gradually increased as the limit distance extended according to the global integration, travel angle, and limit distance settings.  
The results above show that the urban accessibility of museums can be interpreted by limiting the walking distance in Seoul, but the coefficient of determination was low. Therefore, we believe it is necessary to supplement the research by considering future changes in museum accessibility due to vehicle travel distance. In particular, based on the results derived from this study, we realize the need for further research by comparing the results of tracking the circulation of people walking to museums. This will be facilitated by selecting a specific area that has good accessibility to museums in an urban space. This research is also a basic study examining the accessibility of museums in Seoul. Therefore, it is significant in securing reference materials for selecting locations for museums in Seoul in the future and is expected to promote the formation of museum clusters through physical access to nearby areas.
