Urban regeneration in Korea is somewhat successful in that it has let every city make master plan and act its strategy, set in a good condition of urban infra-structure, and can strengthen acting its plan widely. However, it failed in that it causes regional community to break down, worsens the condition of residence, and makes lower and worse the radio of resettlement formed by original dwellers, as it doesn't consider social and economic conditions of the neighbors.
Also, the support of central government hasn't yet come, and the plan by the provinces administration doesn't totally contain participations of citizen, collaboration of private and public party, so there are many problems to solve for desirable urban regeneration model.
In addition, although the Act of Urban and Housing Environment, and the special Act of the Promotion to Urban Renovation are gradually proceeding, the present policies of it basically have their limitation just focusing the acquisition of residence area.
On the other hand, by acting the Special Act of the Promotion to Urban Renovation, the ways of urban renovation change individual unit business into total living-division unit, and then public investment system can be established.
Although the evaluation of private sector's investment can be made easily, however, provinces administration will enhance its fond for investment and participation of private sectors to make success to urban regeneration and nation's balanced development. Also, it is necessary that the conservation of regional community and the involvement of participants are made as a firm and open system.
When we research the system of developed countries for urban regeneration policy, we can know these as shown below.
First, developed countries made the strategy policies for the urban regeneration and organization for acting these polices, and created the Act and the system for them. Also they made economic and social supporting systems specificly.
Secondly, there is a system which can lead dwellers' participation for community preservation, and sustainable urban regeneration. By seeing it, we can get strong points from it.
Thirdly, we can know that to succeed not only revitalization of urban, but also renewal of suburb, and to develop regional community and economy, they had made the programs for promoting investment of private sectors
Now, in Korea, MLTM(Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs) in the central government establishes the organization for urban regeneration, and officially operates Urban regeneration Party to do researches and improve policies.
So, this study will be focused on to search problems of systems of dwellers' participation, fond supply, and acting policies on side of the Adjustment of Urban and Housing Environment, and then compare the systems to the city regeneration policies of developed countries such as U.K, Japan etc. And the result from research are as followings :
Firstly, the systems for acting urban regeneration, which are decentralized regionally, are regulated again, and the new system for controling urban regeneration nationally will be made. Also, the new one need to be correlated with the Act of Urban and Housing Environment and Urban Mater Plan in cases of founding each acting plan.
Secondly, by enhancing the system for dwellers' participation such as the variation of the way for participation, bidirectional communication etc, negative views of administration will be removed and sustainable urban regeneration will succeed. In addition, as an association for urban renewal is built by means of private and public partnership and is given the position of legal grade, each party will be given relationship properly.
Thirdly, It is needed that the finance system for urban renewal will be organized by means of the fond of city renewal, and private capital collected by TIF.
By now, we didn't consider this area importantly by the paradigm of development. Recently, the movement, which realizes its value, utilizes it actively, and makes it better place, breaks out vigorously
On the other hand, in the boundary of practicing Act, there is another movement which is to create the special Act for urban regeneration to fix old and harmful area quickly.
It, however, may get limitation on side of sustainable urban regeneration in spite of solving some problems quickly, and relating to practicing Act such as the Act of Urban and Housing Environment, and the special Act of the promotion to urban renovation.
In Conclusion, some policies, which can deal with problems such as dwellers' participation, financial system, and executing urban regeneration as possible as quickly, and solve the basic difficulty of urban regeneration, should be required.
