Abstract

Busan Terminal is a public railroad station that represents a foundational aspect of a modern city. This study examines urban planning, architectural, and social characteristics of Busan Terminal and its surrounding areas by reviewing the terminal's transition processes from selecting its location during the Japanese colonial era to its current status as a public facility. Maps and photographs were collected to identify the significant events and changes that occurred in the city over the last 120 years. In addition, various laws, systems, newspaper data, and publication reports related to Busan were examined. Upon analysis, Busan Terminal was first found to reflect the times as an urban infrastructure facility developed in accordance with the national policy and Busan's urban plan. It was a regional landmark that produced a district of buildings through spatial expansion. As a public facility, Busan Terminal evolved from being a mere station to a social hub for commerce, culture, and information exchange. Based on contextual understanding, this study determined that the urban planning implications for regional regeneration were consistent with the local characteristics of Busan Terminal. Furthermore, this study is significant in terms of developing a change strategy for regional development due to its relevant academic data.
