Abstract

Among the forms of village building, 'publicly supported village building' led by local governments and the government has been most actively promoted in the last two decades. This paper points out that publicly supported village building projects have been conducted under the premise of competition and self-reliance, and takes Dakbad-gol in the western part of Busan as a case study of a village's changing sense of place. Since the late 2000s, Busan has not only been carrying out its own local government-level village creation programs such as 'Sanbok- doro Renaissance' and 'Creating a Happy Village', but it is also the most selected city for the central government's 'Urban Regeneration New Deal Project' among metropolitan cities. The village of Dakbad-gol is noteworthy in that it is a place where the local government's village building project and the central government's urban regeneration project have been implemented successively. This paper examines the process by which an ordinary village in a mountain corridor, which was considered one of the backward areas in the city, was selected for publicly supported village building projects by the local and central governments, and used the strategy of selling places, and analyzes the logic and characteristics that contributed to the change.
