The environmental considerations should be taken into full consideration in order to make the use of ground space as comfort and efficient as that of ground space. The visual environmental factors which provide visual informations in underground spaces where the environmental information can be acquired only by the surroundings expand their role as affordance for wayfinding. This study focuses on the visual performance evaluation of wayfinding factors on the subway transfer station platform and aisle as major space for movement in four subway transfe stations and analyzes the material, pattern, color, and lighting provided by the visual environment in underground space as directional marked label, regional differentiation and sign system. The results of this study comes are as follows. First, As to the directional marked label at the subway platform and transfer aisle, following patterns are colors, finishing materials and lighting for the sake of safety and convenience, And regional differentiation, following colors are patterns for the space division. Finally sign system which practically provides the most information, however, it is most insufficient to be a space-preception element. Second, According to the type of platform structures, such as an island platform and a separate platform, the main areas of and necessity for the space-perception elements may bring about changes. Third, these four stations that has been analyzed for this study, lighting, compared with color, finishing material and pattern, has been highly insufficient to be a perception element.

Currently, subway is becoming a major part of transportation and living environment in large cities such as Seoul or Hong Kong. As the numbers of subway lines and stations increase, visual cues indicating places are needed for users with various destinations, and environmental colors as well as line colors can be expected as effective informations for easy wayfinding. The purpose of this study is to understand the current color applications in terms of creating regional differentiation and informing subway lines in the transfer stations of Seoul and Hong Kong, by field investigation. The investigation has been proceed on 24 transfer stations from February to April, 2009 by taking photos and measuring environmental colors using Minolta spectrophotometer CM-2600d. As a result, regional differentiation in color application appeared generally low in both Seoul and Hong Kong but various 'hues' differing each station are used in Hong Kong, compared to limited use of 'hues' in Seoul, In terms of 'value', the rate of Seoul appeared lightly higher than that of Hong Kong, and the use of medium high rate of 'saturation' of main and secondary colors are shown as a remarkable character of Hong Kong.

지하철은 도시대중교통의 대표적인 이동수단이며 교통체증 없는 빠른 이동으로 복잡하고 밀집된 도시이동에 적합하다. 서울 지하철은 1974년 개통 이래 현재까지도 수도권과 외곽지역에 노선을 증축중이며 이로 인해 환승역과 환승구간이 늘어나 지하철역 이용이 나날이 복잡해지고 있다. 유동인구가 많고 동선이 겹치는 환승역에서 빠른 이동과 정확한 열차이용을 위해 역사 내에서 제공하는 시각정보체계는 매우 중요하며, 지하철 이용경험이 없는 사람일지라도 관련정보를 쉽게 제공받을 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 현재 제공되고 있는 시각정보체계의 문제점을 알아보고 서비스 개선방향을 제안하고자 하였다. 평소 유동인구가 많고 1,2호선의 집결지인 신도림역을 중심으로 연구가 이루어졌으며, 선행연구와 정성적 조사를 통해 환승공간에서 이용자의 행태와 인지특성을 통해 1호선 환승센터와 승강장에서의 열차정보이용이 어렵다는 것을 알게 되었다. 이를 근거하여 방향성 있는 유도사인을 통해 동선을 제시하고 즉각적인 안내정보의 피드백과 대중교통 초보도 이용하기 쉬운 신도림역 정보제공 서비스를 제안함으로써 지하철 사용경험을 개선하고자 하였다.
