My research interests center around the human behavior
generated through the interaction of land use and transportation,
including floating population and mobility dynamics in metropolitan areas.
Moving forward, I would like to delve into related research areas,
including public transit accessibility in urban neighborhoods
and the impact of mixed land use on travel patterns.
Dawon is a researcher in city and regional planning with a passion for inclusive, sustainable urban development planning. Her prior research explored the association between individual and local-level factors related to women’s employment disparity and COVID-19, and how the pandemic crisis has influenced the changes in the use of urban parks and travel behavior in Seoul.
