| Abstract |
Without deep consideration of the underlying problems of previous professional-driven practices the recent community-driven regeneration practices might repeat the redevelopment mistakes of the displacement of local residents. Both history and literature reviews on modern urban planning reveal that urban redevelopment failure partially originated from the perspective gap between professional groups and local residents on the living conditions of the dilapidated neighborhoods. This study aims to verify the existence of the perspective gap through the Semantic Differential Method. The analytical results show that local residents responded more positively to the living conditions of Sanbok low-income residential neighborhood in Busan, and the professional group reacts more positively to Sanbok neighborhood's nation-renowned vista. These findings are to highlight the justification of community-driven plan making and to criticise current urban renewal practices with uniform living standards. It is also inferred that professional-driven urban regeneration practices may focus on outsiders' visit or experience than local residents' amenity or convenience. |
