(A) Study on the Korean-Chinese Residential District Garibong-dong’s Revitalization A city is not a fixed place, but constantly keeps changing. It keeps growing endlessly, and the hub of industry has been recomposed of various people and has been kept transforming itself, because of the changes of its industrial structures and economical requirements. During this process, slumism and ghettoism of downtown could arise, because of neglecting its maintenance, and cultural conflicts between its members. So far, redevelopment has mainly been done as a solution for these city matters, however, after experiencing many trials and errors, a new concept of urban regeneration has appeared, different from the previous redevelopment projects. City regeneration has mainly been implemented in the developed countries like England and Japan where they achieved industrialization earlier. Korea has also experienced drastic industrialization and urbanization, has begun to implement urban regeneration, a core of a new city plan, and is in the stage of development now. A city should not be regarded as a subject of architecture to create a physical space, rather, it is a place which various and complicated factors actually come into. In other words, it should create jobs for the local area, unite it socially, and introduce cultural elements into it, in order to be able to call it urban regeneration. Accordingly, urban regeneration which the present urbanization stage in Korea needs is to have its ultimate goal to restore and create once collapsed community in the city. It is thought that there should be the restoration of communities of residents first to realizethis goal. There are ongoing projects of urban regeneration in many places in Seoul. Among those places, Garibong-dong in Guro-gu District lagged behind due to the decline of Guro Industrial Complex and it has become a twilight zone and were not under maintenance because of the nonoccurrence of New Town Projects. Therefore, the old Garibong-dong area is in the midst of ongoing projects of urban regeneration to restore it economically, socially, and culturally. On the other hand, after the decades’ changes, so-called ‘Yeonbyeon Street’, which is an ethnic- Koreans- from- China’s concentration district, has been formed spontaneously there. Between Uma 2 Gil, where red signboards are compacted with in a row, and the alleys, the traces of dreams as ‘a factory boy’ and as ‘a factory girl’ are left behind as dosshouses and do exist, but it went through a stagnant period for ten years as a lonely island that was not recognized. Although it looks so old and lagged behind, making them wonder as much as whether this is Seoul or not, it was once a resting place for a large number of young people who had achieved ‘the Miracle of the River Han’, and now it is performing a great role as a nest for a large number of ethnic Koreans from China. Due to the negative images that the media coverage often left, it is still recognized as a gloomy and dangerous area. Even though the stagnant Garibong-dong area lags behind as poor and small households for long years, it is drawing a direction of a new urban regeneration with G-valley in its heart, trying to seek solutions for urban regeneration now. In the case of Garibong-dong area, the most urgent matter to solve is to have communication and reuniting between the community people. Especially, ethnic Koreans from China have low awareness of being a community people. It is therefore needful to build up an infrastructure to make them perform a role as a community people by planting an awareness as a resident and form a community with the old community people smoothly. It is thought that before drawing a sketch for urban regeneration for Garibong-dong area, the fact that over 40% of its residents are ethnic Koreans from China should be first considered, and that the concrete tasks and contents of the sketch concerning it should be included as an important matter. Since it has been neglected because of redevelopment projects for a long time, the policies for ethnic Koreans from China have been excluded politically and they have been always driven into blind spot. Actually, “ethnic Koreans from China do not expect the government to make an exception for them. They just want to be recognized for their historic distinctiveness.” Unless the present Korean government would not carry out the intentional development policies for Garibong-dong area, it would not be expected to have a big change from this situation in the future. So, Garibong-dong area needs to strive continuously and try ceaselessly as ‘specialized urban regeneration along with the migrants’. Accordingly, this present research tried to discuss and propose that there should be a development of the plans for the participation of ethnic Koreans from China, who are over a majority of its residents, and cultural competence in the process of carrying out regeneration project of Garibong-dong area, by considering cultural resources that they could use, and their participation. ，免费韩语论文，韩语论文网站 |
