Abstract
With the decline of cities and rapid socioeconomic changes, urban renovation projects are facing a new turning point as the transition to a city that can reduce the vulnerability and respond flexibly to socioeconomic demand. This study aims to identify the changing social issues for Urban Improvement Projects (UIPs). This study analyzes social issues surrounding UIPs and tracks changes in these issues through Topic modeling analysis of 5,236 news articles collected from the BigKinds database. The analysis reveals that social issues in Seoul Metropolitan area can be categorized into ‘conflicts and legal issues’, ‘changes in the housing market and apartment sales’, ‘infrastructure improvement, regional cultural and economic development’, ‘ resident opinions on education, safety, and welfare’, ‘legal revisions’, and ‘demolition and compensation’. Prior to legislative amendments in 2013, there was an emphasis on negative perceptions of UIPs, such as conflicts, lawsuits, and legal disputes. However, subsequent to this period, positive perceptions related to development benefits, convenience, and rising property values have been emphasized. This study derives social issues related UIPs based on quantitative data, offering insights into future improvements and enhancements for UIPs.
Abstract
The new towns, which were built on a large scale and in a short period of time to solve the housing shortage, are facing problems such as aging buildings, parking shortages, and deteriorating infrastructure as 30 years after completion. However, under the current legal system, it is difficult to carry out systematic and wide-scale maintenance, so the government has enacted a special act for improvement that fits the characteristics of old new town. The special act stipulates the scope of application of the law, granting various special exemptions such as deregulation, and public contribution methods in order to improvement of old new town. However, there is still a need to discuss the role of the special law, the equity of the special exemptions, and the adequacy of public contributions.
Abstract
This paper attempted to present the project progress status, housing supply characteristics, and improvement measures for the evaluation system for 557 urban regeneration projects promoted from 2014 to 2022. The results of this study are as follows. First, there are limitations in assessing the performance of the urban regeneration project as well as judging whether or not the project will be completed based on the completion of the priming budget. Second, in the case of metropolitan areas and metropolitan cities, there is a need to reorganize to focus on projects that can attract private investment, and in the case of small and medium-sized local cities, there is a need to prioritize government finances such as priming projects. Third, in order to revitalize the city center, it is necessary to secure a residential population, and as this leads to revitalization of local commercial districts and the economy, it is necessary to consider new housing supply methods linked to urban regeneration projects. Finally, performance evaluation and continuous ripple effect monitoring are necessary to ensure the sustainability of the urban regeneration project and to maintain positive ripple effects in the region even after project completion. However, this study has the limitation of not conducting a detailed analysis of the actual execution details of urban regeneration project costs, and more empirical research using performance evaluation data of urban regeneration projects is needed in the future.
Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to examine the current issues of redeveloped rental housing secured from the public aspect of Seoul's redevelopment project and make policy recommendations. The reason why redevelopment rental housing was selected among the various rental types in Seoul is thought to have significant implications considering that it is a supply model provided through collaboration as a result of a improvement project rather than being supplied through public efforts alone or through the private sector alone. The scope of the study includes review of literature including policy trends on the status and conditions of improvement projects, supply cases, overall policy effects through a survey of residents of redeveloped rental housing, and cases of changes in feasibility analysis due to changes in floor area ratio. In particular, the provision of a floor area ratio that takes into account the location conditions and situation of the target site is judged to be a standard that can ensure the feasibility analysis of the association and secure the publicness of the improvement project. The implications obtained through this are as follows. First, there is a need to actively supply redevelopment rental housing in order to secure resources for future generations in Seoul. Second, efforts are required to ensure public interest, such as direct public implementation. Third, from an institutional perspective, there is a need to diversify beyond redeveloped rental housing into public rental housing secured through improvement projects.
