Since 2010, the term and concept of gentrification have proliferated in South Korea, and thereby a number of studies on areas having the issues of gentrification are being conducted. Recently, the gentrification is occurring in most areas, which are called ‘hot places’. Although the gentrification phenomena remarkably occurs in most urban Hanok areas, which preserve the value of history and the sense of place as traditional culture, several concerns for losing the characteristics of traditional Hanok areas are arising as the regulations and management plans are not properly prepared. Based on the question of how urban Hanok areas including the gentrification phenomena has changed, this study is to analyze those areas’ current situation, to compare it with the theory of gentrification, to categorize the change of urban Hanok in terms of facades, and to specify the architectural impact of gentrification on urban Hanok. This study conducted the literature review about gentrification and the investigation of sites selected for this study. The socio-demographic status of Bukchon, Seochon, and Ikseon-dong, the commercial composition and launching time of urban Hanok were identified through the literature review. The site investigation was performed by making field work and taking photos. Based on these, this study analyzed the current status of Seochon Hanok and the facade change of it, which was also classified for several types. The results of this study showed that matching with the gentrification phenomena, decrease in the number of population and households, increase in the appraisal value of land, and the change of land use from the residential one to the commercial one were identified in the study area including Bukchon, Seochon, and Ikseon-dong. Among three sites, Seochon was the most active area in relating to the gentrification phenomena, and the results regarding the physical and environmental change are shown below. First, most or part of urban Hanok in the study areas was changed from the residential use to the commercial one. Most of the commercial facilities of urban Hanok was used for the purpose of food and beverage service. Accordingly, it was found that the main type of consumption facility of urban Hanok in Seochon was food and beverage facilities, which were normally used as tourist amenities. Furthermore, by decreasing the number of residential facilities and replacing them with attractive shops, the occupation facilities were gentrified. Second, the appraisal land value of Hanok selected for this study was high in Hanok located in the main street of Seochon or the big Hanok in the area. This finding indicates that Hanok having the great geographical conditions, which can be mainly used for commercial facilities, are more likely to be leased out as a result of the gentrification. Third, the expansion of space by renovating ‘Madang (yard)’ or the inside and outside of Hanok was found in this study. The renovation prioritized the traditional form and configuration of Hanok, and there was no vertical extension of Hanok due to the limit of building height applied in Seochon areas. However, the limit of horizontal scale of Hanok was only associated with frontage line of building and there was no limitation of its form or shape, and thereby the extension for horizontal expansion of Hanok was performed relatively well for most of the commercial facilities of Hanok. Fourth, the installation of outdoor advertising signs and the change of finishing material of Hanok were identified. This façade change clarified the exterior of Hanok visually and distinguished itself from the surrounding commercial facilities, which can promote tourists’ active visiting. Instead of using a concrete wall, most of Hanok used whole glass materials for the purpose of display in the show window, which can help improve the interaction and communication with visitors by maximizing the relationship between the inside of Hanok and the street as well as expanding the sense of openness. The gentrification phenomena is normally captured by land value and socio-demographic characteristics. As mentioned in this study, however, the range of impacts in relation to the gentrification phenomena included not only the change of social characteristics including the appraisal land use, the number of households, the change of land uses but also the change of architectural forms and urban fabric. Therefore, future studies need to examine the common change of architectural forms in various gentrification areas, which can help establish more solid gentrification phenomena. ，韩语毕业论文，韩语毕业论文 |
