<p>Site interaction tests for the seven paths.</p>

Five paths—AE → SY, AE → TR, AE → CO, SY → TR, and TR→SO—were significant at all three sites, with no significant cross-site differences. The SY→SO path was not significant in Ansan, suggesting that cultural symbolism was not directly associated with ratings of Social Recognition and Sharing at this policy-designated site. SO→CO showed evidence of cross-site variation, with the strongest association observed at Daerim Central Market in Seoul.

These findings indicate that evaluations of multicultural commercial streets reflect both differences in mean ratings and structural associations among visual quality, cultural symbolism, online visibility, social recognition and sharing, and functional convenience. These findings highlight the value of integrating cultural representation with visual quality, online visibility, social recognition and sharing, and ease of use in regeneration strategies.</p></div>
