Since its operation started in 1974, Seoul metro subway carries over 1/3 of population in Seoul every day for the period over 38 years. As the subway users have increased, more people gathered around a station sphere, and started to utilize lands for various purposes like commerce, office and house. Seoul city classified station spheres around 4 downtowns, sub-centers, regions, districts and living spheres. A station sphere with these features uses various city development methods. Among the methods, the most often used method is the district-unit development plan. The purpose establishing the district-unit development plan within a station sphere is for maintaining and managing conventional sections of city.
Jung-gu, the center of Seoul is a downtown sphere, and Yaksu-dong is Namsan living sphere where has the most populations in Jung-gu. The purpose of study is to analyze the contents to be realized the district-unit development plan since first establishing Yaksu district-unit development, a living sphere and a station sphere where the No. 3, 6 lines of subway operate, and to suggest an improvement direction.
Chapter 1 summarized the research's background, its purpose, its scope and methods, and reviews about precedent studies.
Chapter 2 investigated the concept of station sphere district-unit development plan and Seoul's current station sphere condition.
Chapter 3 studied the features of station sphere district-unit development plan and investigated the New Jersey's case of development living district among existing stations in the state, and Japanese avenue-scenery induction plan applying different district development plans according to each area's feature.
Chapter analyzed the contents to realize the plan after establishing the Yaksu district-unit development plan around station sphere and living sphere within the existing sections of city, and drew out the problems and suggested the applicable solutions.
Through the above research processes, this study suggests following conclusion.
First, we can know the need to develop a district-unit development plan considering an area's feature through the research about new buildings' sizes and availabilitys and their demands and the marketing experts' evaluation about many district-unit development sections in many station spheres.
Second, although much time has passed since the plan establishment, the fact that 65 cases of new buildings reflects the existing buildings have been quickly deteriorated, so we can know the need for the inspection clause about aging buildings. Therefore, if a new building is constructed after dismantling an existing building, it needs the plan to manage and maintenance existing sections of city for the case of availability change into one excluding preset availability clause or the case of comprehensive repair. In the future, at reorganizing a district-unit development plan, we should induce to the flexible, gradual-stage development plan out of the dichotomy way of newly constructing or remaining.
Third, the method of district-unit development designated as a maintenance tool of existing sections of city is partly used as a regulation tool in the field of maintenance and management, so it needs to consider about easing off the building-to-land ration in order to organize the avenue-scenary organization as a housing area within downtown of city according to the district's feature like Japanese [operation plan for avenue-scenary district-unit development]
Fourth, the resident consultative body and concerned experts should participated the all steps of city development from its establishment step to its realization step. The reason that the decision to jointly develop the roadside as a specially-planned district was made 10 years ago but its realization is not done may be due to the large margin of errors between the estimated acceptable sizes and demands on buildings within the corresponding area and the initial decision. So the resident consultative body and concerned experts needs to continually adjust the plan for its realization according to changing district's features
Fifth, although the Seoul city government contributed to residents' profits by suggesting some plans for inducing the residents to develop their districts like the land-availability adjustment for improving the right to enjoy sunshine, or the decision of limited(highest) height concerning the setback regulation from road, but the residents have not enough influenced on the public profit. At establishing a district-unit development plan, an administrative institution should select a format to give and take profits with the residents, not one-sided giving format.
