근대 계획도시로서의 군산에 대한 고찰 -교통과 역사문화경관을 중심으로-

Abstract

This study analyzed the modern historic and cultural landscapes of Gunsan as a modern planned city through changes in the transport policy direction towards a colonial transport system model. The goal was to reveal the influence of changes in modern international situations and the invasion of world powers on the spatial structure of Gunsan as a colonial city from the perspectives of transport and landscape. The results confirmed that Gunsan was a better fit for the Rimmer model among the colonial transport system models. With such changes in transportation, Gunsan has been able to preserve and improve its modern historic and cultural landscapes which now play a significant role in promoting the local economy by attracting visitors. In terms of such modern historic and cultural landscapes, this study analyzed former Gunsan Customs House, former Bank of Joseon Gunsan, old Janggi 18 Bank Gunsan, former Daeungjeon Hall of Geumgwangsa Temple, Hirotsu House, Gyeongamdong Railroad Town and Gunsan Modern History Museum. However, there was some criticism that Japanese colonial buildings were advertised as unique tourist attractions, glorifying Japanese imperialism. In this sense, this study proposes the following. First, visitors should be provided with a better understanding of the modern landscapes of Gunsan instead of simply seeding them as unique tourist attractions. Second, local identity needs to be established through the contextualization of memory layers. Third, academic research must continue to build an accurate guide for such modern landscapes. Fourth, modern programs for local authorities must be to Gunsan. Finally, a plan needs to be developed to preserve such landscapes by encouraging locals to participate.
