This paper aims to enhance overall functions of campus village and to suggest an improvement plan based on future-oriented land use by analyzing locational land use types in each university neighborhood. To find out the characteristics of land use pattern and the potential problems, we examined the present land uses of the neighborhoods in three university campuses in Jinju city. For this study, we presented spatial pattern spatial patterns on the maps applied by ArcView GIS as a graphic technique after implementing field surveys and questionnaire ones. The results of this study are summarized as:
First, land use in university neighborhood can be divided into three categories: land use, location, and development factors. Around the Gyeongsang National University(GSNU), the main land use type is a mix-used one as in suburban and new development area: commercial, residential, and institutional buildings such as school and private academies are recently agglomerated. Around Jinju National University(JNU), the commercial land use is typical as an extended development area of inner city(close to city center) and commercial building occupies the university town around the campus as well as traffic junction nearby: the campus is encompassed mainly by commercial buildings, small restaurants/shops, and a express bus terminal. However, around Jinju National University of Education(JNUE) the typical land use is residential one as an inner city type: most building are occupied by old single detached houses, new one-room flats for college students or small apartments with tidy shops because of a tendency to development staggering, though those are expected to redevelopment.
Second, in university campus neighborhood, most of land uses consist of residential and commercial ones, but educational and cultural uses(facilities) are very rare. This trend illustrate that the campus village have not settled as educational and cultural center, but have been occupied by mix-used land uses existing as a part of the city.
Third, the land uses in university neighborhood predominantly differ in following three factors: the location of campus, the scale of campus or the number of students, and the function/type of universities. In particular, those depend on the university types: the first university type for comprehensive and higher education profession(GSNU), the second type for mixed and professional profession(JNU), and the third type for elementary and medium educational profession only(JNUE). Around JUNE, most(71%) are included in residential area whereas around GSNU(58%) and JNU(45%) some are included in residential area.
In conclusion, more comprehensive/systematic land use and development are required around the GSNU, while re-arrangement of mixed land uses are required around JNU, and vitalizations of the neighborhood around JNUE currently occupied for mainly educational land use. For the future planning guidelines of campus neighborhood, the suggestions are also required in the process of student housing construction and new campus village development reviewing educational, cultural, and physical environment |
