This study is aimed to analyze whether the movement of targeted urban public facility could contribute to the improvement of facility users' convenience in terms of accessibility. To measure the accessibility, the total travel distance was estimated through multiplying network distance by the number of users as weights. Consequently the spatial efficiency was estimated. To calculate the network distance, the shortest distance was selected using GIS. On the other hand, highly frequented transit route in case of using public transportation was considered as the shortest distance. According to analytical results, the necessity of location and its systematization, in view of the accessibility of facility users, was meaningful in case of Yongsan-gu. Moreover, there was the difference between the accessibility of the shortest distance and that of public transportation, which was calculated based on GIS. The accessibility of public transportation is closer to spatial efficiency and equity. In conclusion, this study suggests the accessibility of public transportation be considered to judge the spatial efficiency of urban public facilities.
