| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to analyze the evolution and characteristics of conservation management plans around the Seoul City Wall,
focusing on the Gwanghui area from 2014 to the present. The study classifies subsequent management plans into four types and examines
how the guidelines of the 2014 Comprehensive Plan for City Wall Village were reflected and transformed over time. Building permit data
are also analyzed to assess how conservation-oriented policies were implemented in practice. The findings indicate that recent management
plans continue to align with the overarching conservation framework established in 2014, while translating it into more practical and
multi-layered strategies tailored to local conditions. Rather than the large-scale redevelopment initially anticipated, urban change over the past
decade has largely followed conservation-oriented principles through urban management plans. However, despite the integrative intent of the
master plan, implementation in the Gwanghui area reveals an increasing tendency toward fragmented and area-specific management
approaches. By examining the intersection of conservation and development, this study provides insights into the limitations and future
directions of conservation management in historic urban contexts. |
