Abstract
There are various forms of the density of buildings in the cities. The density of buildings should be analyzed with the qualitative distribution of buildings on a regional scale. We have formed the concept of analyzing the building density based on blocks on a regional scale. Under the concept, the Gross Coverage (GC) and the average Distance between Blocks (DB) have been defined as indices of building density. In this study, we examined a new analytical method for the building density applying spatial autocorrelation using the two indices, GC and DB, simultaneously. As the results, it was obvious that the distribution of GC and DB in project expediting areas for urban renewal showed the spatial independence of building density from other areas. In addition, it was suggested that the results of the analysis might contribute for supporting the decision of urban renewal areas.
