ABSTRACT

The Chungbuk Line operated 28 stations after it fi rst started operating during the Japanese colonial era, but as 10 stations were closed, there are currently 18 lines. Th is study examined the current status of nine stations on the old Chungbuk Line among all routes. Since the Chungbuk Line, which was operated for the purpose of cargo and passenger transportation, has been doubletracked to meet the demand for cargo transportation, memories and romance of the past related to the station are rapidly disappearing, but each local government recognizes the problem and actively eff orts are underway to restore and shed light on the abandoned station. Recently, as part of the urban regeneration project, there is a lot of interest in reviving the value of Chungbuk Line in terms of local cultural assets. In this study, fi rst, in Chapter 2, the process of the establishment of the Chungbuk Line and the documentation of its closure were reviewed. I tried to suggest a way to utilize the closed station as a cultural content linked to value. Furthermore, it was suggested that there is a need for research in the direction of interconnecting stations and connecting regions near stations, going beyond the method of focusing only on the place where each station is located and using it as regionally unique content. In addition, more in-depth follow-up research is needed in the direction that foreigners can participate together given the reality that Korea’s status is rising.
