In this Century, most of ports have been changing in order to keep up with change of the world. The ports are become larger, integrated with high technology because containers which pass through the ports are sharply increasing. Also, ports have been developing considering waterfront. Not to turn over the world wide competition of the ports, a renewal of Bukhang in Busan was promoted firstly in Korea.
In this study, final draft renewal plan of Bukhang in Busan at this stage was compared with renewal plan of Hafencity in Germany in order to propose improved renewal plan of Bukhang in Busan. Renewal plan of Hafencity in Germany was very similar with Bukhang in Busan in terms of renewal period and direction. The aim of this study is to propose the systematic improvement plan on eco-friendly port development from the comparison between case of Germany that is known for advanced country in this field and Korean case.
The renewal plan of Bukhang in Busan and plan of Hafencity, Hamburg in Germany were compared with in terms of land use plan, category of facilities and waterfront.
In the case of Hafencity in Germany, that was developed keep up the geometrical characteristics. However, the land for Bukhang was formed by reclaiming. For the reclaiming, enormous money was needed and that is time consuming work. At this stage financial raising plan was not specified. If it were not enough financial support from Korean government, this will be a development thoughtless for the environment. Whole area of Hafencity was developed as a complex but in Bukhang was divided by land zone. There is enough residential area in Hafencity but that was not plan in Bukhang except for condominiums and hotels. In Hafencity, whole area; where people live in, was connected with waterfront. In Bukhang, Grand Park and artificial island were constructed. From this point of view, it can be found difference of cognition in the eco-friendliness of waterfront.
The common point of both plans was in traffic system, such as connection between old city and newly developed city, introduction of new transportation system, easy approach to the central station and construction of pedestrian way.
The most different aspect of both plans was sustainable development. Prior to confirm the plan of Hafencity, eco-friendly energy system introduction and environmental impact on surrounding area was investigated. However in the plan of Bukhang, use of existing facilities and plan of waterfront space was considered. There was no plan on the energy system and research on the environmental impact was conducted as primary level.
There are three improvements in renewal plan of Bukhang. Those are specified development plan, consideration on the sustainable development and originality. When introduce foreign study and development plan, fundamental idea and system should have to be introduced firstly. Also, confirmed development plan should have to be conducted with fundamental purpose though whole stage and not to be influenced by political issues. Moreover, financial raising plan have to be specified for the continuing conduction of this plan. In addition, specified energy plan and environmental impact of port development have to be investigated deeply. Finally, in the renewal plan of Bukhang, Korean tradition and culture should have to be considered in order to create the most Korean appearance and image.
