Abstract The Seoul Metropolitan Government implemented an urban plan for citizen’s cultural happiness by expanding aging facilities and idle spaces into cultural facilities. In particular, contextual design appears to be an important factor as a method of urban regeneration based on local cultural characteristics, but research to connect buildings and regions in context is insufficient. Therefore, this paper intends to study spaces used to promote historical, social and cultural values in areas where urban regeneration has taken place. Through theoretical consideration of contextual design in urban revitalization, four characteristics of historicity, connectivity, publicity, and functionality were derived as analysis frameworks based on the characteristics presented in previous studies. As the subject of the study, five cultural spaces were selected among the regeneration cases of ‘Vision 2030, Cultural Citizens City Seoul’ and conducted a field survey. As a result of the analysis, it showed the historicity by preserving buildings with historical significance or creating cultural facilities with historical stories, and the connectivity was also well demonstrated due to physical harmony such as the surrounding environment within the region. However, the publicity and functionality were the weakest due to the lack of space and economic utilization for cultural exchange programs. To solve these problems, it is necessary to provide a space for cultural exchange by organizing various programs such as exhibitions, music performances and reading gatherings, and to create a space for economic utilization within the regenerated facilities. This study attempted to present the direction of regeneration through contextual connection, and it is expected that research on various types of regeneration spaces will be continued by expanding the scope of contextual design research on urban regeneration cultural spaces.
