도시 어메니티 활성화를 위한 공공공간 디자인 개선방향에 관한 연구 -공공공간 유형별 사례를 중심으로-

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider amenities, the historical and cultural improvement of the space quality, for pleasant urban public space planning and to suggest the improvement of public space design for urban amenity revitalization through case analyses. The research subject is confined to the four types - parks, squares, thoroughfares and waterfront areas - that are proposed in the public space design guidelines of ‘Design Seoul’. The design revitalization items were examined according to the characteristics of public space types and the cases were analyzed based on the evaluation items. The following are the analyzed results. 1) The amenity characteristics of public space are classified into hygiene, environment, convenience, aesthetics, and history and culture. The amenity characteristics of public space showed the highest results in terms of history and culture, whereas the results regarding hygiene were lowest. 2) Public space planning should be done in consideration of natural environmental factors in terms of hygiene, and constant maintenance must come along with it to maintain amenities. 3) From the environmental point of view, there should be restriction on imprudent installation of artwork and equipment, planning should harmonize with the environment through the integrated planning of the whole equipment, and the quality of space must be enhanced by using material with sustainability and connecting cities with greens. 4) In the perspective of convenience, there is a need for plans which reduce the congestion of space and consider accessibility to convenient facilities in the vicinity, and for post-maintenance plans. 5) In the aspect of history and culture, with excessive mix of material avoided, public facilities which reflect the landscape characteristics should be in harmony with the surroundings through the integrated planning of space. This study aims to find the interface between public space and amenities and suggest improvements for better environment through the case analysis. With later studies on development of evaluation indicators and preference survey, we need researches which can suggest the more specific improvement of design.
