ABSTRACT

An urban regeneration program is still in an early stage with a lack of experience. Even though it is necessary to add economic, cultural, consumption and housing functions to a city which is in a slump with population decline, it is not easy to promote the project due to not enough professional personnel and lack of citizens’ perception. Under these unfavorable circumstances, diverse activities which have recently invigorated old villages have emerged as a new urban regeneration program model. In case of the Jeonju testbed project, for example, it is a region where the ripple effects of neighborhood regeneration for the regions in recession as well as nearby areas are expected. A variety of urban regeneration techniques were used for about 3 years from 2011 to 2014. The Jeonju testbed project attempted to try a new urban regeneration method called ‘self-rehabilitation neighborhood regeneration program’ and maximize local assets. Therefore, operating experience itself is important to solve problems arising from the recession of a multifunctional city. Therefore, this study investigated the meaning and characteristics of the Jeonju testbed project and analyzed its operations for the past three years. In addition, it derived an improvement plan to facilitate the urban regeneration program based on the operating experiences of the Jeonju testbed project according to the ‘Special Act on the Promotion of Urban Regeneration’ enacted in the late 2013. To facilitate a city through the urban regeneration program, it is required to concentrate on the promotion of economic (industry and employment), cultural and historic energies in addition to the improvement of urban infrastructure and physical environment. In case of a deteriorated residential area, there should be an integrated approach to social integration-centered policies including the introduction of a self-update program which improves a region through owners’ investment intention and assistance to a public sector, resettlement of the locals and recovery of local communities. Furthermore, local residents’ participation is crucial in promoting the urban regeneration program. To facilitate the locals’ participation in the program, it is also important to motivate them to participate by actively listening to their voices after organizing a governance organization as a decision-mediating council among the program developer, locals and central/metropolitan/local authorities from the beginning of the program such as maintenance plan and program planning. It is also needed to promote Korean-style urban regeneration program, taking the testbed project of Jeonju or Changwon as a success model. For this, there should be efforts to create the synergy effects of the regeneration program through connect & development (C&D) and promote urban economy through mixed-use development. At the same time, it is needed to improve an incentive system for the efficient and effective promotion of the urban regeneration program.
