| Abstract |
The characteristics of Cheongju urban space is that spatial structure of Korean traditional Eup Fortress and basic skeleton of Japanese urban plan coexist intact. The aim of this study is to understand today’s Cheongju urban space by analysising the period of installation and maintenance of social infrastructure during the Japanese occupation and that of construction and transfer of modern architectures to classify the period of changing process and to define relationship between social infrastructure, urban spatial structure and the changes that had played important role during the process. Based on the transfer of provincial capital, the changing process of Cheongju urban space can be classified into 1st phase, (1908∼1921) when the modern city was formed, 2nd phase, (1921∼1932) when the city was expanded to north due to railroad construction, 3rd phase, (1932∼1937) when lots were formed in the south due to construction of embankment and the existing city was repaired, and 4th phase, (1937∼1945) when the city was expanded to be promoted to Boo(府). Looking into characteristics of changing process of urban spatial structure by period, first, the 2nd and 3rd phase are important period when modernization of urban scape was formed due to the construction of railroad, embankment and new buildings. Second, its form was made by employing modern grid pattern while maintaining the form of existing Eup Fortress. Third, the expansion of social infrastructures centered on Korean society after 4th phase built up the foundation of today’s Cheongju’s center. |
