The results are as follows : 1) In 1920, the topological center of the street network was concentrated in the northern area of the district and spread towards the southern area in 2009. 2) Winding alleys has been reduced, and the topological depth in the castle district became more shallow from 1920 to 2009.3) The configuration characteristics of the street network is related to the composition of the buildings and land use in the castle district of Daegu, which we determined from the results of a correlation analysis.
