다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As a strategy to revitalize a city, the city of Pohang, in Gyeong-Buk Province, restored a canal that connected existing Dongbin Inner Harbor and Hyeongsan River. This paper evaluates the canal restoration project by taking each elements that were defined by the city within the framework of the project. The elements that were evaluated are on environmental issues, landmark, theme of the project, economics of the project, localism, and public nature of the project. Each of these elements were analyzed and evaluated to find out if the goals of the city were satisfied or not. What was clear through the evaluation, was that restoration of the canal did not foster sustainable environment, and commercialization was proportionally large compared to the public open space; indicating restoration was geared more towards tourists attraction rather than the every day usage by the local residence. Based on the findings, some recommendations were given to alleviate problematic issues and on the issues some of the findings that needed improvements.

포항시는 구도심 활성화를 위한 전략으로 동빈내항과 형산강을 연결하는 운하를 조성하고 주변 지역을 수변유원지로 개발하는 포항운하 복원사업을 시행하였다. 본 연구에서는 도심활성화를 위한 수변공간 개발의 계획요소를 환경성, 랜드마크성, 테마성, 경제성, 지역성, 공공성으로 도출하였고, 이를 바탕으로 포항운하 복원사업을 평가하였다. 포항운하 복원사업의 계획내용이 계획목표를 이루기 위해 적합한가를 각각의 계획요소의 관점에서 분석하고 평가하였다. 평가를 통해 포항운하 복원사업은 환경성 측면에서 지속가능하지 않으며 상업시설에 대한 계획이 공공의 오픈 스페이스보다 크게 계획되어 있고, 지역 주민들의 일상적 이용보다 관광객들을 끌어들이기 위한 개발 계획에 초점이 맞추어져 있다고 판단하였다. 이러한 평가 결과에 근거하여 문제점을 완화하고, 개선하기 위한 향후 개발방향을 제안하였다.
