Paper Abstract:	In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of the floating population in three different time zones using the head-tail break method, which is a hierarchical analysis method, to show long-tail distribution using data on the floating population of Seoul, Korea. Results showed that there were areas in which a larger floating population was revealed near the subway station, only during peak commute times. It also showed that there were many factors influencing the floating population, such as large shopping malls and a baseball field. Moreover, there was an increase in the size of the floating population during the workday or at lunch time. Although the movement of pedestrians is largely affected by the location of subway stations, it is also affected by other influencing factors.
