National street has become one of open space for enhancing environmental qualities of city and country. In the developed countries such as France, U.K. U.S.A are designed symbolic malls, squares and street which are represented the historicity, culture and symbolic place. For place identity, we analyzed the relationship between element and user satisfaction in Sejong Avenue, Gwangwhamun Square. Data were analyzed using statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, ANOVA and correlation. Results of this study are as follows, i) factor analysis is carried out to extract spatial components and satisfaction. The satisfaction concerning transportation access was the higher than other factors, ii) user satisfaction was strongly correlated on the spatial elements, iii) user showed high user perception to study site. Results of this study can identify representative street management plan based on landscape elements and user satisfaction.

본 논문은 도시에 대한 새로운 인문학적 담론이 형성되고 도시의 이미지 개선을 위한 다양한 마케팅 전략 수립을 통한 방법론이 제시되고 실행되는 과정에 주목하고자 한다. 이와 같은 상황을 고려하여, 본 연구에서는 케빈 린치(Lynch, K)의 ‘실체적 이미지’의 도시이론을 통해 도시와 지역이 어떻게 ‘시간’과 ‘공간’의 기능으로서 작용하고, 도시 이미지 형성과 장소의 역할을 하고있는 미국 서부지역의 Santa Monica 도시의 ‘상징적 이미지’를 통해 어떻게 도시 기능이 유기적 관계가 형성되고 있는지 살펴보고자 한다.

As a measure to overcome the limit of small city which is weak in spontaneous competitiveness and to improve the quality of environmental, cultural and economic life of dwellers, it analyzed the geographical characteristics of city, movement path, economic status and other simple problems comprehensively and produced the vague problem solutions for dwellers and the practical direction for design using the 3D simulation rendering in order to suggest the result to change the potential for urban policy into substantial alternative. Geochang-gun selected as research area is evaluated for the place with high symbolic value of bridge in terms of environment, and the new design development for this kind of public design can be the good measure to increase the competitiveness of the city. This research is to understand the direction of the bridge recreation project which provides the cultural space connecting with other areas and improves the competitiveness of small city and to suggest the appropriate bridge design in order to provide the reasonable maintenance direction related to the future development of public design and the achievement of the symbolism of the region and to suggest the examples of public design for the urban competitiveness. For this purpose, focusing on Wicheon-stream in Geochang County, Gyeongsangnam-do selected as the research and development area for bridge design, it is to design the concept design bridge newly emphasizing the symbolism of bridge-oriented city for the development of future city.

본 연구는 현실과는 다른 공간, 시대 및 문화적 배경 등을 디자인하고 그 속에서 살아가는 메타버스 가상 세계를 작품으로 제시한다. 제시된 작품인 언플래닛 시티(Unplanet City)는 상징적 의미가 담긴 조형 언어를 통해 새롭게 창조된 도시를 의미하며, 기존 도시와 대칭점에 있는 상상 속 세상이다. 현재 우리가 사는 플래닛과 대칭되는 언플래닛 시티에는 상징적인 건축물로 가득하며, 이 건축물들은 3D로 표현되었다. 언플래닛 시티는 작품 전체가 전시 공간이 되는 새로운 전시 공간의 활용과 확장 가능성에 목적을 둔다.

For the development and management of u-City(ubiquitous city), Ubiquitous City Construction Law was enacted(March 3, 2008) to form the legal basis of u-City plan, construction and managements afterwards. Among u-City elements, the u-City Management Center has its own meaning and importance in roles which are crucial to the u-City developments, and its legal establishment is one of the core u-City realization factors. In spite of its crucial position for u-City, the legal arrangement of its basis concept, physical/systematic structures, and managerial finance sources and their standardizations are very immature. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyse its overall problem issues and then to suggest the basic directions and enforcement strategies to form its legal basis.

The purpose of this study is to examine the various concepts related to tall buildings, the history of skyscrapers, and their symbolism of our time. First, skyscraper is a word used to describe a very tall building, and the "tall" is a relative concept dependent on time and place. There is no firm height cutoff of skyscrapers, and their practical meaning depends on both time and place. Second, there is academic disagreement over which building should be considered the first skyscraper. Skyscrapers in the modern sense began to emerge in the late nineteenth century. From this point, the world's tallest building was always in the United States (especially, New York and Chicago). However, since the late 1990s, the skyscrapers in Asian countries have taken the title of world's tallest building. Third, skyscrapers are not simply tall buildings, but symbolic images. They are symbols of capitalism, finance, and ambition. The symbolism of the skyscraper has three dimensions, such as the symbolism of height (size), capital (corporate power), and landscape.

This paper pays attention to the fact that not only Gangnam but also cities outside Seoul that attempt to follow the Gangnam model are deeply involved in Korean developmental urbanism. It examines discursive materials such as newspaper articles, newspaper advertisements and online debates as significant sources of information showing how certain districts are materially and discursively constructed by diverse actors in the national capital and in other cities. The result of in-depth interviews lasting up to two hours reveals local residents' imagined geographies. The article emphasizes that the so-called "Gangnam problem" should be understood as existing beyond the physical, symbolic and administrative boundaries of Gangnam, in cities that follow the Gangnam model. This study helps to provide an epistemological foundation for more equitable, sustainable and de-developmental urbanism.
