Improvement Strategies for the Revitalization of Special Street Zones - Based on Survey Results -

Purpose: Moving beyond the institutional limitations identified in previous studies, this study aims to propose concrete implementation strategies for street revitalization and the activation of the system itself by applying 'Special Street Zones' to actual established urban areas (or specific sites). Method: The research methodology involves analyzing previous studies through a literature review and deriving survey items through a comparative analysis of three case sites. Subsequently, three rounds of Focus Group Interviews (FGI) will be conducted with five experts representing five distinct fields, including urban planning, architecture, and design. Based on the results of the in-depth interviews, a structured questionnaire will be developed to conduct a survey targeting non-experts. Result: First, The function of Special Street Zones must transition from a mere ‘Passage’ to a ‘Destination’ where people stay and linger. Second, The expansion of ‘Amenity’ facilities that prioritize user convenience must precede mere aesthetic improvements in street design. Third, Specialized strategies are required to secure the unique ‘Placeness’ of the area, moving beyond simple physical environmental improvements. The last It is necessary to move away from government-led maintenance approaches and establish a citizen-participatory ‘Governance’ system.
