To conduct urban studies in communist countries like North Korea, it is necessary to complement objective data with subjective data. This approach includes GIS-based spatial analysis, Google Earth-based satellite data analysis, mashup-based social media, photo and video analysis, and cognitive map-based analysis. Combining or complementing these multidimensional data can overcome the limitations of spatial accessibility, enhance practical applicability, and, most importantly, ensure the realism and sustainability of the data. In the case of North Korea, it seems feasible to analyze major cities like Pyongyang, where such diverse combinations of analyses can be applied. This study aims to examine urban development and construction in Pyongyang through a multidimensional approach and provide a spatial-structural interpretation. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate the multidimensional approach through social networks related to urban development in Pyongyang.
