ABSTRACT

As the demand for social security has increased recently, a gendered space representing the characterized space possession and use by gender has been of particular interest. Most studies related to a gendered space have been conducted from a theoretical standpoint by focusing on the discourse. However, there has been relatively little attention paid to the empirical analysis in an urban area. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore how the gendered spaces are represented in an urban space from the spatial organizational perspective. More specifically, we analyzed the spatial gendering of Seoul by focusing on the spatial distribution of the urban building use reflecting urban land use and economic activities in practice. As a result of analysis, we found that the male space which men occupy and utilize dominates the female space and gendered spaces appear a mixed pattern largely concentrated in the urban centers, and thus the gendered space is not precisely distinguished from each other. However, each gendered space presents a locally clustered spatial patterns on continuous urban space.
