The area around campus is a significant factor of image of the city because most of people can experience campus culture at the area. Also universities conduct developments of cultural landscape, image of the city, knowledge, information, art, culture economic industry, etc. Around the campus is a site which can provide visible feelings of role of university. So, the site has a power of studies which belongs to the university, therefore the site is an important landscape by providing functions of facilities which are not in university like rest and remove tension of study. However most of area was developed commercial, residential area in ignoring the connection with campus.
Until now, for proposing environmental improvement for Kangwon National University campus considering connection with around the campus, I chose 4 sectors to analyze space structure on the basis of space syntax and investigation of present situation. Then, this study shows the way of improvement around each sector considering cultural landscape and the connection development. Moreover, proposed the way for environmental improvement of each sector’s feature, administration and system, community involvement awareness.
The environmental improvement ways of each sector are following:
Proposed environmental improvement through connection enforcement. Especially, improvement of pedestrian protection, wall removal project, development of undeveloped area of 1sector considering campus.
Proposed making cultural landscape and enforcement of connection, environmental improvement for finding new identity by making buffer facilities between commercial area and residential area.
Proposed environmental improvement aims to improvement the image of the city through making cultural landscape. To be concrete, this study suggests 1) establishing a guideline of the landscape accord with facilities, 2) improvementing environment through student involvement, 3) building a square in utilizing property of university 4) maintaining streets in modifying outdoor advertisement.
Nevertheless 4sector has been improved because of the east gate the connection is ineffective because that was developed as commercial area for the inhabitants. The east gate have an advantage of physical distance however, it has ineffective connection in space structure. Accordingly 4sector needs to improvement environmental improvement by making regional identity for the inhabitants. Also, it can be future area of the campus by developing facilities of the university in conclusion.
In addition, this study proposed organization of a group who can maintain good condition of street from outdoor advertisement and illegal parking.
This study proposed several ways of improvements of each sector with those of features in investigating space structure and present condition analysis to find connection between university and around the campus. After activation of the campus around area, it could lose its identity such as scholar role and education because of commercial influence.
Improvements for appropriate building of cultural landscape and enforcing connection between university and around the university, supplement that area for the students, local resident, even visitors. Moreover, it can be a better cultural value by meeting city’s pursuit of value. The basis of this study, various studies should be researched such as physical environment and administration of maintenance as well as the unique programs for the Kangwon National University.
