ABSTRACT

This study analyzed the regional identity of Naepo New Town in Chungcheongnam-do. In 2006, Hongbuk-eup in Hongseong-gun and Sapgyo-eup in Yesan-gun were designated as Naepo New Town, and major administrative agencies and residential facilities were moved and constructed into the new town. The development of the new town for the relocation of Chungnam Provincial Government has problems of damaging and/or obscuring the regional identities of the region. So, this study tried to uncover the regional identities of Naepo New Town. According to the analysis, four regional identities were found in Naepo New Town: A region where openness and diversity through active links with the outside world (Cultural & Historical Identity), A region with excellent settlement conditions with a balanced distribution of mountains, sea, and hills (Geographic Identity), A region rapidly transformed from an agricultural landscape to an urban landscape (Landscape Identity), A region of urban and rural integration where agriculture still exists in the vicinity of the new town and, simultaneously, administrative services and high-tech industries are developed in the new town (Industrial Identity). These four regional identities are expected to complement each other and establish a major identity of Naepo New Town.
