Since the decline of the coal industry, which was the driving force for the growth of modern regions in Gangwon-do, Several development projects were carried out to revitalize the abandoned mine area. Development projects that focus on strengthening urban infrastructure rather than urban regeneration using locality did not show much improvement. Recently, as attention to regional revitalization based on local history and culture has increased, the direction of regional development is changing to urban regeneration based on local history and culture. In this context, this study focused on the correlation between cultural urban regeneration and archiving of abandoned mine area. Therefore, this study suggests that archiving of local identity and memory should be preceded for cultural urban regeneration. It aims to suggest the method of archiving abandoned mine area for the utilization of urban regeneration by insisting on the necessity of organized archiving of coal mine industry heritage and the memory of abandoned mine that disappears with the passage of time and development.
In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the current status of domestic archiving was analyzed and implications and limitations were derived. Based on the analysis of archiving cases abroad and domestic, archiving methods and urban utilization for urban regeneration in the abandoned mine area of Gangwon-do were proposed.
Archiving coal industry heritage and inhabitants' memory in abandoned mines area has the meaning of documenting and preserving the unique history, memory and evidence of the region through records representing the locality of the region. In deciding the subject, scope and method of archiving the abandoned mine area, the local conditions and appropriate methods should be considered. Through this, the abandoned mine archives are expected to be the core of the local archiving and regional development as an information hub center for local record contents development, education and research, and urban regeneration.
