Abstract

Mt. Halla Protected Natural Area, Seongsan Sunrise Peak, and Geomunoreum Lava Tube System of Jeju were inscribed on the World Natural Heritage List and have got a global recognition. Since the inclusion on the World Natural Heritage List, the annual number of visitors to Mt. Halla, Seongsan Sunrise Peak, and Manjang Cave- outstanding tourist sites of Jeju- has been more than 4 million. With this in mind, a study on the color trends of these public facilities was conducted. Public facilities are significant in that they show the general image of public space and the colors of public facilities show one integrated image of public space. In line with this, the continuous preservation of World Natural Heritage sites of Jeju, sharing better experiences with visitors, and the promotion of Jeju are essential. The objective of this study is to do research on the color trends of public facilities in World Natural Heritage sites and improvement methods. The study space included 3 sites; Mt. Halla Protected Natural Area, Seongsan Sunrise Peak, and Geomunoreum Lava Tube System- World Natural Heritage sites of Jeju. The study contents were existing public facilities. After a field study, the colors of public facilities were analyzed. As for study methods, the general status of public facilities (location, materials, construction date, construction method) was reviewed. Then, a current condition examination and check lists for the color study of facilities were done. 163 public facilities were reviewed and their pictures were taken. After excluding overlapping colors, 40 colors were drawn. They were GY, YR, Y, G, PB, B, BG, and R colors. Most public facilities showed mid brightness and mid-high saturation tones. In order to apply the color of public facilities in harmony with surrounding landscape, the structure, characteristics, and location of facilities should be considered at the public facilities design plan stage. Moreover, the color design in harmony with surrounding landscape is necessary.
