| Abstract |
As ‘gender mainstreaming’ strategy has been introduced and institutionalized as the basis of national gender equality policy, its institutionalized tool, Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) has been enforced since 1995 in Korea. GIA has been enforced for several urban projects so far, though gender equality on architectural environment has hardly been recognized in the field of architecture and urban planning in Korea. In this regard, the role of GIA in the field of architecture and urban planning should be analyzed to improve gender-sensitive urban environment. This study analyzed the GIA of three New Town Development Plans: Gimpo(2006), Daegu(2007), and Gwanggyo(2008), using gender-sensitive framework based on Structuralist Landscape Assessment(SLA). This study mainly discussed the contributions and limitations of the GIA of the three cases, and proposed future directions of Gender Impact Assessment in the field of architecture and urban planning. |
