폐간이역 유휴공간의 공공적 활용 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Social interest in idle space is increasing, but the systematic utilization of idle space is insufficient as it is approaching only from the perspective of facilities and real estate. Moving away from the primary point of view of idle space as a functional and abandoned building, idle space is worth developing because it connects the present and the future based on historical symbolism, socio-cultural meaning, and community records. The Cultural Heritage Administration designates abandoned areas with local historical, architectural, and cultural values as registered cultural assets. In Korea, the use of abandoned railway facilities, including abandoned whistle stops, is mostly passive at the level of temporary facilities, and efforts need to be made to find local regeneration. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find the possibility of development as an idle space for abandoned whistle stops. (Method) The background is identified through theoretical consideration of idle space and closed space station and analyzed by evaluation method for future use. Among them, we would like to research the utilization of Sinchon Station, Nampyeong Station, Wonchang Station, Songjeong Station, Bangok Station, Gudun Station, and Namchang Station, which are designated as cultural heritages. (Results) In general, it was evaluated as superior in physical factors rather than cultural factors. Sinchon Station, Songjeong Station, and Namchang Station were relatively high in terms of physical and cultural factors due to their high accessibility, and it is expected to be profitable if tourism is commercialized. Many places with poor accessibility were evaluated as having better preservation and aesthetics because many people visit them. Idle spaces, including railway-related sites, are no longer subject to be neglected or demolished, but need to be used in ways such as repurposed, renovated and repaired. (Conclusions) In this study, the utilization of physical and cultural elements was studied for domestic abandoned areas designated as cultural heritage in order to derive such specific utilization. Research and projects on idle spaces are being activated. There is a need to be active in idle space research on abandoned whistle stops. The site of the abandoned station is a community place for local residents and a place of old memories of waiting and excitement for other locals, making it more valuable to use. The abandoned whistle stops should be respected as a cultural asset and used as a place for coexistence with local residents through development, and the abandoned area with the history of the region will be more valuable with the participation of various attractions.
