| Abstract |
The ?Seoul Metropolitan Ordinance on Rainwater Management」was recently fully revised into the ?Seoul Metropolitan Ordinance on Water Circulation Recovery and Low Impact Development?. This study analyzed the main contents and characteristics to comprehend the meaning of this entire revision. The results are as follows: while the ?Seoul Metropolitan Ordinance on Rainwater Management?supported the use of installed rainwater facilities, the ?Seoul Metropolitan Ordinance on Water Circulation Recovery and Low Impact Development? concentrates on integrating water management planning into urban planning by suggesting the amount of rainwater management and links to the approval process and by permitting zoning designation and district unit planning for low impact development. This complete revision transforms rainwater policy from spot management to urban area management and thus calls for a review of comprehensive water planning and demands efforts to give shape to low impact development in the urban planning and design fields, for instance, by suggesting urban planning and design elements for water circulation or composing urban design guidelines for low impact development. |
