This study investigates the influence of school walking environments on elementary students’ perceptions of schoolimage and their overall satisfaction with school life. The research aims to identify how child-friendly walking conditionscontribute to students’ emotional and cognitive responses to school environments and to propose practical urban designstrategies for improving walkability. Based on a review of relevant literature, five key factors?safety, convenience, comfort,territoriality, and continuity?were derived as evaluation criteria. A structured questionnaire was developed using 15 itemsrelated to walking environments and 10 items related to school image and satisfaction. The survey was administered to 318upper-grade elementary school students, of which 300 valid responses were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. The results ofregression analyses indicated that walking environments significantly influenced both school image and school satisfaction, withcontinuity (β = .442, p < .001), territoriality (β = .176, p < .05), and comfort (β = .161, p < .05) showing strong positiveeffects. Furthermore, the findings from a three-step mediation analysis revealed that school image partially mediated therelationship between convenience, comfort, territoriality, continuity, and school satisfaction, and fully mediated the relationshipbetween safety and satisfaction. These results highlight the importance of integrating physical walkability improvements withstrategies aimed at fostering a positive school image. The study suggests that school walking environments should berecognized not only as functional transit spaces but also as psychological gateways shaping students’ school experiences. |
