ABSTRACT

Shrinking Cities is an approach to strategically and wisely rebalance cities experiencing consistent population and economic decline to match their diminished size. However, in Korea, the approaches of declining cities are often aimed at increasing the region's population, and local strategies for declining population areas are also often aimed at population inflow. To move forward with the shrinking cities approach, a strategic and appropriately scaled plan tailored to the characteristics of each region is needed. For a proper understanding of the region, this study attempted to use four regions in Gangwon-do to understand how residents and living populations perceive their region. There were some differences in responses in terms of the region's current status, potential, and development potential in all four of these regions based on population characteristics. The results of this study show that an examination of the commonalities and differences in perception caused by population characteristics as seen in a region should begin with a better understanding of the region's unique traits.
