Description

Railroads and ports are important transportation infrastructures that connect the national territory vertically and horizontally or even abroad. Reading these spaces as a dimension of urban regeneration means not only seeing them as transportation facilities, but also solving them from a convergent perspective of history, geography, humanities, and human beings.
During the period of industrialization centered on domestic manufacturing and heavy industry, which was created in the 1960s and 1970s, the functions of railroads and ports have been greatly changed due to population decline and changes in industries.
The decline of the existing port function, the adjustment of the location of the railway terminus, the change in logistics mobility, and the change in the industrial structure, etc.
As well as the change in the role of the railway terminus. It had a great influence on the urban space of the province, which developed around ports and railway stations.
This study establishes the direction of urban space planning by categorizing and deriving urban spatial characteristics through physical and qualitative investigations on the current status of areas where domestic railways and ports are connected. was trying to derive.
Conducting such research not only seeks to induce economic demand in a region where ports and railroads meet, but can also serve as a basis for a basic understanding that can reorganize a region's real estate flow and new industrial structure.
In other words, a Korean-style region that can be applied to the domestic environment based on accurate recognition of the current status and problems of the region including the domestic port-railway station area, rather than simply introducing advanced overseas cases by supplementing the limitations of existing domestic research and development cases. We tried to derive planning guidelines for regeneration.
Since facilities related to rail-port use are organically connected and these facilities have an important influence on the rail-port area, but are divided into architectural or urban dimensions, this study focuses on integrated regeneration planning techniques and It is meaningful to establish a program and apply it to the utilization of ports (waterfront) and railroad facilities or to long-term city plans.
