| Abstract |
In the early 1910s, Jinhae took shape as the present city center in the Chungmu-dong area. The city swiftly executed plans for the central
area, encompassing both street layout and land allocation. This simultaneous planning resulted in the establishment of a coherent street pattern
and urban block structure. Remarkably, these elements endure today, preserving Jinhae as a crucial reference point for understanding the
application of Western-style urban planning, introduced via Japan, and its contemporary functionality. Despite its significance, Jinhae remains
relatively unexplored in scholarly pursuits. This study aims to unveil the distinctive features of Jinhae's downtown by examining its street
network, urban blocks, and land division during this transformative period. The investigation unfolds in three stages. Initially, the Outlook
plan was scrutinized, dissecting the grid-radial roads and land grades that marked Jinhae's cityscape inception. Subsequently, the interplay
between road structure, urban block formation, and graded land parcels in the finalized City Plan was synthesized. Finally, the realized
changes in the plan, along with an exploration of the administrative zones that delineate the actual land use divisions on the original
cadastral maps were explored. |
