At the time of shifting urban paradigm change from auto-oriented environment to pedestrian friendly environment, reinventing public friendly space have currently received great attentions in spite of losing its space since industrialization. This paper aims at identifying urban design attributes associated with urban plaza, analyzing their hierarchy and importance-performance, and proposing implications. To do this, it conducts literature review and interview with professionals in order to induce urban design criteria. Second, it analyzes the hierarchy of identified criteria between professionals and the public. Last, IPA is introduced to propose a few recommendations to make Gwanghwamun Plaza sustainable. Research findings show that 5 domains for public-ness include "openness, accessibility, connection, amenity, and convenience" and 21 urban design criteria are unpacked. AHP discloses that "amenity" becomes a mostly weighted domain but "convenience" and ‘openness’ are selected different weight between groups. Finally, IPA reveals that it is imperative to amend the following facilities such as "planting, facilities considering micro-climate, safety facilities, rest facilities, convenient facilities, and barrier-free facilities".
