| Abstract |
New Urbanism (NU) is a way of urban development that is popular in the USA and is spreading to the rest of the urban world, including Korea. This paper reviews how much realization of NU principles has been made at the public level by evaluating three sites based on the NU tenets: Seaside in Florida, Kentlands in Maryland and Jeongja 1 dong in Korea. Texts from blogs and other internet sites for the first two sites were collected to form a linguistic corpus, which was then analyzed for keywords using a text mining program called ManyEyes. Surveys and interviews were conducted for Jeongja 1 dong mixed-use area. The quantitative data were analyzed to determine if keywords in the text matched the 13 tenets of NU. The qualitative data were also analyzed to determine if different users of the area notice the way of its development and its uniqueness compared to non-NU sites, if and why they like or dislike it, and whether these reasons matched the 13 tenets of NU. Results indicate that some NU tenets occurred in the data set, but other keywords indicate that semi-public space, not public space, is a major factor in creating a sense of place. |
