Despite the most of residential areas are located on steep slope, there have been autonomously formed Neighborhood Streets in their Spheres of Living. And the humane & social organizations of residents are integrated within these physical spaces and these have been the very city compositional factor so far. In order to understand the Neighborhood Street characteristics of residential areas in Seongnam city, study areas are categorized into Four : the first one in residential area, the second one in semi-residential area, the third one near general commercial area, and the fourth one changed by large apartment block, depending on their locational relations with district use. So, Taepyeongdong, Sanseongdong, Sinheungdong, Dandaedong are selected as the representative of each areas.

We decide to take these factors as main criteria of analysis and draw analytic maps of reciprocal relations for daily Neighborhood Facilities in 4 dongs. Through this comparative study on Neighborhood Streets of residential areas, it is found out that in order to achieve sustainable urban residential area regeneration for the original part of Seoungnam City, it is necessary to keep and support existing communities with its Neighborhood Streets.
