Abstract
Social isolation is a global problem due to its negative effects, and various efforts are being made to address isolation. As building social infrastructure is important to prevent isolation, this study aims to understand the impact of urban infrastructure on social isolation using social surveys and statistical data from South Korea. A multilevel logistic model was used to identify the characteristics of infrastructure for solving the problem of social isolation by adding regional level to individual level. The analysis showed that at the individual level, gender, age, marital status, and household income were significant, while at the regional level, the ratio of single person households, access to traditional markets, and capital status area were significant. The findings suggest that social infrastructure can have an impact on the problem of social isolation, so it’s important to plan urban spaces in ways that can help alleviate social isolation when planning infrastructure.
