ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this study is to suggest policy implications how to reinforce the publicness of the amusement park as an urban planning facility. To diagnose and resolve the publicness issues of the amusement park, this study conducts survey whether totally 211 amusement parks nationwide are operating in accordance with the legal purpose and examines judicial precedents on the publicness of the amusement park. Furthermore, this study compares the amusement park and functionally similar facilities focusing on the installation criteria of sub-facilities and then examines the possibilities of replacing the ‘amusement park’ with these similar facilities such as ‘urban park’, ‘natural recreation forest’, ‘tourist complex’, as well. The survey results show that minor changes in the sub-facility plans of the amusement park have been frequently occurred after determination of urban planning facility although only a small portion of amusement parks is designated to ‘tourist destination’ or ‘tourism complex’ redundantly and some sub-facilities such as accommodation facilities were sold in lots or open to members only. The comparative analysis results explain that the amusement park is more vulnerable to the publicness issues because there is neither mandatory sub-facilities nor restriction on the scale of sub-facilities in case of the amusement park. Therefore, it is necessary to revise current regulations on the amusement park so as to set the required main sub-facilities and to restrict the installation of sub-facilities without publicness while restricting minor changes after determination as an urban planning facility.
