Abstract With the recent trend of cultural urban regeneration gaining importance worldwide, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism implemented a cultural regeneration project in which abandoned industrial facilities are transformed into complex cultural spaces. How ever, most cultural spaces only meet the minimum legal requirements, and the users are not provided with sufficient opportunities to use the space. Therefore, universal design that considers everyone is required. For this purpose, this study analyzes the characteristics of Universal Design in complex cultural spaces, which are representative regenerative spaces available to all and provides basic data for space planning. The research was investigated to derive universal design evaluation items by analyzing precedent research. Further, conclusions are drawn on the basis of the analysis of the cases of six urban regenerated complex cultural spaces through field studies. This study analyzes the characteristics of Universal Design in complex cultural spaces in urban regeneration projects based on the characteristics of safety, amenity, information, accessibility, acceptability, usability. The results of the Universal Design characteristics evaluation reveal that the usability to be high, whereas the acceptability is low. In addition, the effective width and activity space of the evaluation items show good results, whereas braille marking, guidance marking, and dotted blocks are insufficient. Specific spatial composition guidelines reflecting the characteristics of urban regeneration are needed in the future.
